Online Voter System With Two-Step Verification

Abstract

The electoral process is the bedrock of political participation. Over the past few decades, the election system has effectively undergone several modifications. India continues to use either electronic voting machines (EVM) or secret ballot voting (SBV), both of which are costly, labor-intensive, and wasteful, despite having the largest majority rule government in the world. The methodology merely checked identifying documents, increasing the likelihood of fraudulent votes. This system's primary objective is to provide an online voting platform that, by using a camera for face recognition and OTP generation, will contribute to reducing voter fraud in manual voting systems and earlier iterations of online voting. Additionally, we are introducing a system of absentee voting for those who are unable to travel to a polling place (hometown). To confirm the dependability of the device, we are supplying software that has extra facets of verification, including face recognition or verification, OTP verification, and validation data. Only after being authorized and matched with the specified voter database may a single voter access the system. Once the relevant face has been matched with the given data, the voter can continue selecting their preferred candidate from the panel.
