The proposed system aims to create a safe online voting system. Nowadays voting remains a serious safety and security issue so this system provides high performance and security. The System seeks to develop a face recognition-based voting system that authenticates voters using machine learning, especially K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). Entering the voter's unique username and Password is the first step in the online voting system. If the voter's Username and password are valid, the system proceeds to the next step, requesting permission to turn on the webcam and take a picture of them. Once the photo is taken, it verifies that the voter has only taken it once. The website allows the voter to cast his vote only once. Voter access is denied if the same voter picture is entered again. By logging into the website voter can cast their vote from any place. Every minute the website updates the results of the election. So, voters do not need to wait in long queues to cast their votes. To give voters real-time information on their voting progress. The system also features dynamic voice feedback to guide users through voting, ensuring clarity and engagement. This initiative uses facial recognition technology to enhance the security and efficiency of voting systems.
