In recent times there has been a decline in the confidence of common people over the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Today’s automated vote casting methods have faced immense controversy to being vulnerable to hacking and questions have been raised about their transparency and security. This paper is lodged in style and develop a tamper-resistant electronic legal system that aims to alleviate the problems with existing machines. Here, multiple bedded verification method is administrated on an associate eligible citizen by means of fingerprint recognition primarily to demonstrate his identity. Subsequently, the person would cast the vote by pressing a button corresponding to a particular candidate which would be recorded in the system providing the vote caster a visual confirmation. Then steganography technique is used to hide secret messages into ordinary digital media without drawing suspicion. This system not only prevents multiple vote casts but also eliminates the discrepancies that commonly arise with a person claiming not to have voted, whereas his or her name is present in the list of vote casters. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms previous EVMs by electronically transmitting their results back to the Election Commission from the control unit, through a simple and unconditionally secure protocol.
