ABSTRACT:
Online voting system in which the election data is stored and processed. To achieve higher level
of security, one levels of authentication techniques are used. The authentication technique used
is a Face Detection and Recognition system. In this method of authentication, the voters face
image captured during the registration is compared with the image captured by the webcam at
the time of casting vote. After the first level of authentication is done a voter can casting the vote.
These techniques provide a more secure platform thus overcoming vulnerabilities of the
traditional voting system. We use OpenCV, Flask are the python package and Haar Cascade
Algorithm.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
The basic methodology as applied to online voting systems would involve giving voters
realistic voting tasks to accomplish using a variety of ballot design. Voting task performance
is measured using variables such as accuracy, time and workload. The voting server
collects the vote and filters out duplicate or invalid votes. Each voter can then check his vote
online to ensure that his vote has been counted.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
This system isolates the malicious devices by eliminating the threats encountered during
communication and path formation process by computing the weighted trust of each device.
Moreover, to ensure transparency in the polling mechanism, a blockchain is maintained that
includes IoT devices to further formulate a secure polling process. IoT devices are used record
and collect the vote.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. Not secures.
2. Complex process
3. Only in the last ten years are electronic voting systems popular and
unresolved.E-voting schemes pose mainly safety, credibility, openness,
reliability and functionality challenges.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
System is used cast your vote through online via website using facial authentication and
machine learning techniques. To get a high degree of accuracy from what is called “training
data”. Haar Cascades use the Adaboost learning algorithm. which selects a small number of
important features from a large set to give an efficient result of classifiers. Initially, the algorithm
needs a lot of positive images (images of faces) and negative images (images without faces) to
train the classifier. Then we need to extract features from it. For this, Haar features shown in
below image are used. They are just like our convolutional kernel. Each feature is a single value
obtained by subtracting sum of pixels under white rectangle from sum of pixels under black
rectangle
ADVANTAGES:
An online voting system using facial recognition offers several advantages:
Enhanced Security: Facial recognition adds an extra layer of security by verifying the identity of voters, reducing the risk
of fraudulent voting.
Convenient and Fast: Voters can cast their votes quickly and conveniently without the need for physical paperwork or
lengthy processes.
Accessibility: Such systems can be designed to accommodate voters with disabilities, making it more inclusive and
accessible.
Real-time Validation: Facial recognition can instantly validate voters' identities, ensuring that only eligible individuals
participate in the voting process.
Reduced Costs: Digital voting systems can potentially lead to cost savings by eliminating the need for physical ballot
papers, printing, and manual counting processes.
Audit Trail: The system can create an audit trail, allowing for transparency and verification of the voting results.
Increased Participation: The ease of voting and reduced barriers can encourage more people to participate in the electoral
process.

Title: SecEVS : Secure Electronic Voting System Using Blockchain Technology
Authors: Ashish Singh : Kakali Chatterjee, 2018 International Conference on Computing, Power and Communication
Technologies (GUCON)
In today's digital environment, the voting system move from paper based to a digital system. A digital e-voting system have many properties such
as transparency, decentralization, irreversibility, and non-repudiation. The growth in digital e-voting system arises many security and transparency
issues. In this paper, we used the blockchain technology in digital e-voting system to solve the security issues and fulfill the system requirements.
It offers new opportunities to deploy a secure e-voting system in any organization or country. The solution is far better as compared to other
solution because, it is a decentralized system, contain the results in the form of bit-coins, having different locations. We will also analyze the
security of our proposed voting system, which shows our protocol is more secure as compared to other solutions.
