The accessibility and dependability of voting systems have the potential to be significantly improved by technological improvements. In order to address the problem of providing voters with a reliable and secure identity, the research suggests combining biometric authentication with technology that is connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). Voters may have their identities validated in real time at voting locations using Internet of Things sensors if the devices record distinctive biometric characteristics such as fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial features. Through the utilization of biometric data, secure QR codes, and voter identification cards, this type of multifactor authentication seeks to enhance the level of security. By concealing real biometric data while yet allowing for precise identification matching, biometric template protection can be of assistance in addressing privacy concerns. In order to accommodate a huge number of votes and a variety of users, this system has been developed to be both user-friendly and scalable. The proposed voting system has the goals of reducing the number of instances in which voters pass themselves off as other people, improving accessibility for people of all demographics, and creating a voting environment that is more transparent and trustworthy.
