Biometrics is the term given to the use of biological traits or
behavioral characteristics to identify an individual.
The traits may be fingerprints, hand geometry, facial geometry,
retina patterns, voice recognition, and handwriting recognition.
If this system is employed the elections would be fair and free
from rigging.
Scanning – Using DSP Processor.
Searching – Searching the database.
Networking – All the election booths are connected in a network.
Data Transfer – Using telephone lines.

THE THUMB
IMPRESSION
Finger Print Sensor : This is used to scan the thumb impression.
A/D Converter : This is used to convert the analog data into the
digital data and transfer it to the processor.
Flash ROM : This is for the storage of the data temporarily in the
DSP processor.
DSP Chip : This is used to receive the data and process it.
USB Port : This sole purpose of the USB port is to establish a
communication link between the DSP processor and the
MEMORY.
The data which is processed in the DSP chip (finger print) is
transferred in parallel to the HARD DISK for searching process.
The image transferred to the HARD DISK is compared with that of

VOTER REPETITION
The voting machine present in a town are interlinked in the form of a highly
secure LAN.
This network is formed with the help of the telephone lines.
All the data collected are first stored in the voting machine itself and then sent to
the HOST which are located at the headquarters of the town.
All the data is collected there and it is transferred to the main host.
[ FORMATION OF THE NETWORK IN THE TOWN ]
The system is highly reliable and secure.
In the long run the maintenance cost is very less when compared
to the present systems.
Illegal practices like rigging in elections can be checked.
It is possible to get instantaneous results and with high accuracy.
CONCLUSION
Thus the advent of this biometric thumb impression voting system
would enable hosting of fair elections in India.
This will preclude the illegal practices like rigging.
The citizens can be sure that they alone can choose their leaders,
thus exercising their right in the democracy.
