Abstract: This paper includes the overall technical
idea by using Aadhaar card for voting. At the time of
elections, the QR-Reader will be used to decode the
Enrollment ID printed on the Aadhaar card in which
our database is already stored and registered. Then
it drives the next finger authentication stage. The
authentication can be done using fingerprint sensing
with the help of fingerprint module, which allows the
authenticated voters to vote on the electronic ballot.
Unauthorized person to enter the finger means
message send to the control room through GSM
module. Through this voting system we can see the
result whenever we want either immediately or later
as per our requirement. .
2. Issues of existing voting system
Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), the Idea
mooted by the Chief Election Commissioner in 1977.
The Electronics voting machines were devised and
designed by Election Commission of India in
collaboration with BEL(Bharat Electronics Limited) ,
Bangalore and ECIL(Electronics Corporation of
India Limited), Hyderabad. The EVMs are now
manufactured by the above two undertakings. An
EVM consists of two units, i) Control Unit, ii)
Balloting Unit. The two units are connect by a cable.
The Control Unit is with the Presiding Officer or a
Polling Officer and the Balloting Unit is placed
inside the voting compartment.
1. Introduction
Voting is a method by which the voters chooses
their representatives. In current voting system
whenever a person goes to the polling booth to poll
his vote the voter has to show his voter ID card. In
the process is a time consuming process as the
polling officer has to check the voter ID card with
the list he has, confirm it as an authorized voter and
then allow the voter to poll his vote. Thus, to avoid
this kind of problems, we have designed Aadhaar
based FQ biometric voting machine.
In this voting system, the details of the voter will
get from the previously stored Aadhaar database.
which is having all the information about the voter.
By using this database we took the voter’s
information will be stored in the raspberry pi.At the
time of voting in the elections, fires step the QRReader used to decode the Enrollment ID printed on
the Aadhaar card in which our database is already
stored and registered. When user uses his/her
fingerprint on figure print scanner, the scanner
checks it with previously stored in database. If finger
print matched then EVM is enabling and the user is
allowed to gives his/her vote. If that user comes
again to give vote, message send to the control room
through GSM module and activate buzzer.so we can
easily prevent this kind of problems. For developing
this kind of system we used Raspberry Pi is Credit
card-sized computer..

There are two types of problems with EVM which is
currently in use:
(i) Illegal Voting
(ii) Repeat voting
2.1. Illegal
Voting (Rigging)
The very commonly known problem, rigging
which is faced in every election procedure. One
candidate, casts the votes of all the members or few
amount of members in the electoral list illegally.
This results in the loss of votes for another
candidates participating and increases the number
votes to the candidate who performs this action. This
can be done externally at the time of voting.

2.2. Repeat voting
Now a more Indian citizens are have two voter
ID card, so can Give one person give two votes by
two voter ID Card. That problem only can avoid by
aadhaar data base. Because every Indian citizens are
have only one aadhaar ID card, so where repeat
voting prevented by aadhaar data base.
3. Proposed approach
With the aim of conducting democratic
election, we prefer the system to Endeavour to
improve the easy usage of the voting machine with
authentication and an acknowledgement slip will
provide for every polling which occurs. And a QR
reader is used to give input so it is so highly easy to
overcome the button problem. GSM module is used
for message send to the control room.
3.1 The following are the advantages of
secure voting machine using biometric:
3.1.1 Security
difference in the pressing of the switches and the
EVM is sensitive enough to trace and identify the
twitch that was press first.
3.3.4 Hi-tech Simplicity
To commence polling, the raspberry pi
control unit activates the "Ballot" switch on the
control unit. The voter then has to press the button of
his choice on the ballot unit. This is followed by a
short beep sound, indicating that the vote has been
cast. Once again, the control unit give to the "Ballot"
switch to clear the machine for the next voter to cast
his vote.
Second and Following Pages
The second and following pages should
begin 1.0 inch (2.54 cm) from the top edge. On all
pages, the bottom margin should be 1-1/8 inches
(2.86 cm) from the bottom edge of the page for 8.5 x
11-inch paper; for A4 paper, approximately 1-5/8
inches (4.13 cm) from the bottom edge of the page.
4. Block diagram
The system is free from intentional tamper.
It is impossible to hack the machine. Though this
factor depends on the personnel integrity, attempts
should be made to make the model as secure as
possible. In this voting machine every user uses
his/her finger print. The votes will be successful only
after successful verification of their finger print.
3.1.2 Reliability
The machine registers the votes truly. A
vote is never changed. A valid vote is never
eliminated, from the final tally and an invalid vote is
not counted. Vote counting is flawless. The final vote
tally must be perfect. Most important think the votes
are stored in EEPROM memory, where the numbers
of votes are stored permanently.

5. Flow chart
3.1.3 Scalability
It is easy to use the basic design for any
number of voters. A QR reader is also used to
improve the scalability. The model is able to handle
increasing voter participation without any stress on
performance.
3.3.3 Super sensitive circuitry (No invalid
votes)
Inside the control unit, hidden from the
person is an extremely sensitive circuit that takes
care of common election errors or malpractices like
duplication vote. For instance, if one were to press
more buttons simultaneously, then no votes supposed
to be cast. Even if there was a micro-second

much broader context, including both commercial
tracking/convenience-oriented applications aimed at
mobile-phone users. QR codes used to display text to
the user, to add a vCard contact to the user's device,
to open a URI(Uniform Resource Identifier), or to
compose an email or text message.

occupy every place. The proposed system based on
Raspberry pi microcontroller is found to be more
compact, user friendly and less complex, which can
readily be used in order to perform several tedious
and repeted tasks. Though it is designed by keeping
in the mind about the need for industry, it can
extended for other purposes such as commercial &
research applications. Due to the probability of high
technology (Raspberry pi microcontroller) used this
“Aadhaar Based FQ Voting Machine” system is fully
hardware controlled with less software circuit. In
feature this system makes the base for future
systems. The principle of the development of science
is that “nothing is impossible”. So we shall look
forward to a bright & sophisticated world.

In this type of sensor is essence in a specialized

can cause a bad image of the fingerprint.
