Safe Count: A Two-Step Verification Based Voting System

The rise in the number of manipulations of the votes and mishandling of the EVM machines has been observed in the past few years. Taking this issue into consideration, a working project has been designed and implemented to improve the voting system. It will help maintain the fairness of the elections and ensure that an ethical candidate comes to power. This project is a blend of two existing technologies, i.e., RFID technology and electronic voting machines. These two technologies can be combined so that more accountability and transparency in the process of elections can be maintained. The project's biometric verification component will boost the voting system's security and precision. Facial recognition technology will make sure that each voter is who they say they are and prevent proxy voting. A cross-reference will be made between the RFID card's distinctive identity and the voter's biometric information to ensure that only eligible voters can cast ballots. The suggested initiative would guarantee that there is no compulsion and lessen the possibility that any electorate will cast more than one or two ballots. It will work on reducing the number of threats involved during the elections. The main motive of the project is to make sure that the election process is carried out in a safer way such that it does not hamper the results of the elections.
