The research paper presents the design and implementation of a fingerprint-based electronic voting system using the Arduino Uno microcontroller and DY50 fingerprint module. The primary goal is to improve the security, efficiency, and reliability of elections by leveraging biometric technology. Traditional paper-based voting systems are prone to errors, manipulation, and time-consuming processes, whereas this digital solution ensures authenticity, prevents fraudulent activities, and simplifies the voting procedure. By utilizing unique biometric data, such as fingerprints, the system effectively registers, verifies, and authorizes voters, thereby eliminating the possibility of duplicate votes. The proposed system stores and processes vote counts in EEPROM memory and delivers the results on an LCD display. While offering significant improvements in election management, the system also faces challenges related to hardware vulnerabilities, software glitches, and the need for extensive voter education.
