This project implements an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) using Raspberry Pi 🍓, integrating biometric and facial recognition technology to authenticate voters before allowing them to cast their votes securely and conveniently. By combining these advanced authentication methods with the affordability and accessibility of Raspberry Pi, the project aims to enhance the integrity, efficiency, and inclusivity of the electoral process.
The Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) developed in this project offers the following features:
-
Biometric Authentication: Utilizes biometric data, such as fingerprints or palm prints 🖐️, to verify the identity of voters securely.
-
Facial Recognition: Employs facial recognition technology 👤 to authenticate voters based on facial features, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the authentication process.
-
Raspberry Pi Integration: Leveraging the Raspberry Pi platform 🍇, the EVM provides a cost-effective and accessible solution for electronic voting, making it suitable for deployment in various electoral settings.
-
Voter Authentication: Voters are required to undergo biometric or facial recognition authentication before gaining access to the voting interface.
-
Ballot Casting: Authenticated voters can then cast their votes electronically through the user-friendly interface provided by the EVM.
-
Vote Tabulation: The EVM tabulates the votes securely and generates accurate results, contributing to the integrity of the electoral process.
