 ABSTRACT
An Election is a method of selection of individuals to hold the public office in
democracy. Ballot is basically a piece of paper that is used to cast vote during election. In
ballot paper voting system each voter uses a ballot paper which is not shared and
basically it is a paper printed with the name and symbols of the candidates. The
Electronic Voting Machine is basically a memory recorder which records the vote casted
by the voters. In this paper, main advantages of E-voting systems for country is
highlighted. For constructing Evoting systems, every countries need to do great attention
to Verification and Validation requirements. In this research, E-voting scheme with face
recognition using deep learning technique is proposed. The main objective of the
proposed scheme is to explore the positive effects of security and safety in online voting

 OBJECTIVE

The main objective of the proposed E-voting system is to enhance

the security and safety of online voting by employing advanced
technologies such as blockchain, deep learning-based face
recognition, and blind signature mechanisms. It aims to ensure
transparent, efficient, and accessible elections while safeguarding
voter privacy and preventing fraud or manipulation.

 INTRODUCTION
• Elections stand as the cornerstone of democracy, serving as the mechanism
through which citizens express their political will and choose their
representatives. However, traditional methods of voting often face challenges
such as fraud, inefficiency, and limited accessibility. In response to these
challenges, the adoption of electronic voting (E-voting) systems has emerged as
a potential solution, offering the promise of increased security, efficiency, and
inclusivity in the electoral process.
• This project proposes the development of an advanced E-voting system that
leverages cutting-edge technologies, including blockchain, deep learning-based
face recognition, and blind signature mechanisms. The primary objective is to
explore the potential benefits of these technologies in enhancing the security,
safety, and accessibility of online voting systems, thereby contributing to the
integrity and legitimacy of democratic elections.

 INTRODUCTION
Background and Motivation:
• Traditional paper-based voting systems have long been susceptible to various
vulnerabilities, including ballot tampering, voter coercion, and logistical
challenges. Moreover, the emergence of digital technologies has raised concerns
about the security and integrity of electronic voting systems, particularly in light
of cybersecurity threats and the potential for hacking or manipulation.
• In response to these challenges, there has been a growing interest in the
development of E-voting systems that can address the shortcomings of traditional
voting methods while maintaining the trust and confidence of voters. By
harnessing the power of blockchain technology, deep learning algorithms, and
cryptographic techniques, it is possible to design a voting system that offers
unparalleled security, transparency, and verifiability.

 LITERATURE SURVEY
1. BalaMurali, Potru Sarada Sravanthi, B. 2020.,Rupa.Biometric Verification: The system utilizes
biometric traits like fingerprints for secure voter identification, ensuring that each vote is cast by an
authorized individual, enhancing the integrity of the electoral process. SMS and GSM Confirmation:
Integration of SMS and GSM modules provides real-time confirmation messages to voters' registered
mobile phones, offering assurance that their votes have been successfully recorded, thus increasing
trust and confidence in the system.

2. In 2020, K.C Arun1,et al. Internet of Things (IOT) is the network of integrated physical devices that
are set with connectors, actuator and communication media that allow them to send .and receive data
over the internet .

3. In 2021,A.C.PAL., The use of IoT in elections also improves the voting procedures. This system also
looks after for the number of functional and non-functional requirements which are very important in
every phase of system design. The precision, reliability and efficiency of the voting process will also be
greatly increased and the overall time to declare the results of the elections will also be reduced.
4. In 2021, L.A.kanna .,et.,al, Addressing Transparency and Auditability Issues: The paper
acknowledges the shortcomings of existing voting solutions, particularly concerning transparency and
auditability. It proposes leveraging blockchain technology to mitigate these issues by enabling public
verification of stored data, thus allowing for greater transparency in the electoral process.
Introduction of Auditable Blockchain Voting System (ABVS): The paper introduces the concept of
Auditable Blockchain Voting System (ABVS), which integrates e-voting with blockchain technology. This
system aims to provide end-to-end verifiability, ensuring that the voting process can be audited by common
voters rather than relying solely on dedicated institutions and officials, thereby enhancing trust in the
electoral system.
5. In 2021,A.C.Ram, Blockchain-Enabled E-Voting (BEV) addresses voter fraud and enhances voter access
by allowing eligible voters to cast anonymous ballots using computers or smartphones. BEV utilizes
encrypted keys and tamper-proof personal IDs, issuing each voter a "wallet" containing a unique user
credential analogous to a digital currency system. Each voter receives a single "coin" representing one
voting opportunity, with the ability to transfer their coin to a candidate's wallet. Voters can only spend their
coin once but retain the flexibility to change their vote before a specified deadline, ensuring both security
and flexibility in the voting process.

 EXISTING SYSTEM
• Paper-Based Voting: This is the traditional method where voters mark their choices on a paper ballot, which is then
manually counted. While simple and familiar, it can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
• Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs): EVMs are electronic devices where voters make their selections using buttons or
touchscreens. Votes are typically recorded digitally and can be tallied automatically. While faster than paper-based
methods, concerns about security and reliability have been raised.
• Internet Voting: This allows voters to cast their ballots remotely using a computer or smartphone connected to the
internet. While convenient, internet voting faces significant security challenges, including the risk of hacking and vote
tampering.
• Postal Voting: In this system, voters receive their ballots by mail and return them via postal service. While it provides
accessibility for voters who cannot physically attend polling stations, it can be vulnerable to fraud and delays.
• Hybrid Systems: Some voting systems combine elements of different methods, such as using electronic machines for
voting in-person and paper ballots for absentee voting.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM
This paper proposes the development of a novel electronic voting system designed
to address the limitations of traditional voting methods while leveraging advanced
technologies to enhance security, accessibility, and transparency in the electoral
process. The proposed system integrates blockchain technology, biometric
authentication, and machine learning algorithms to create a robust and reliable
voting platform. Key features include secure authentication mechanisms,
transparent ballot casting processes, and accessibility measures to ensure
inclusivity. The system undergoes rigorous testing and validation procedures to
ensure its reliability and integrity. Additionally, strategies for integration with
existing electoral infrastructure and scalability for future enhancements are
discussed. Overall, the proposed system aims to revolutionize the electoral process,
fostering trust and confidence in democratic elections.
