Every field is emerged into automation and this has to be brought into the current electoral system. The voting system that ensures the ballotters with trust and confidence is accuracy which does not allow false voting, the scalability that does not affect process, the mobility that allows the ballotter to vote from any location and the efficiency that reduces the consumption of time due to manual verification of the ballotter. The voting system should be groomed in an evident way by employing Aadhar card and biometric sensor that assures the ballotters trust and confidence. A biometric device makes use of automated approach of verifying and recognizing the identity. There are situations where the ballotters can't vote in the booth; in such a situation the ballotter can make use of their mobile to cast his/her vote. To overcome such difficulties a mobile application is developed. So far, the result announcement requires man power for counting which can be reduced using cloud storage that gathers votes from all the polling booth. The gathered votes are encrypted from the polling booth and the decryption of data is done by the electoral commission. Arduino is a board that combines the Wi-Fi shield and the functionality of the appliance. Accessing the cloud and processing the data can be done with Arduino boards. The proposed work combines the concepts of cloud storage, biometric verification, and security to ensure trustworthy voting.
