Novel E-Voting System with Biometric Authentication and Distributed Server System

India is the largest democratic country where voting and elections are fundamental to any consensus-based society. In India we use the most popular voting system called as an electronic voting system (EVM) for its easy access and less time consuming features, but yet this voting system is not at all efficient and secured one. So we present a Novel Electronic Voting System which is based on biometric authentication and distributed servers approach which provide high security for voting process. Whole voting system is divided into two parts one is a voting machine and another is server system. Raspberry pi 3 model B is a heart of the voting machine. This host minicomputer has the ability to control complete activity of voting process. Voting machine is developed based on biometric authentication and distributed server system. So for authentication purpose we use a biometric database of Aadhar card which is already given from all Indian citizens by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). So the voter authentication can be done by using biometric information (Thumb impression) which is pre-stored at the government database. The significance of adding thumb impression results in exact authentication of voter before casting of vote. So the system absolutely adds accuracy of casting of votes and nullifies the chances of malpractices in regard to the casting. The main advantage of this system is, it is based on a distributed server approach, which will ultimately add the accuracy of casting of votes and reduce long distance travelling to cast a vote. Therefore establish a reliable, flexible system which will be easy to handle by all populations considering their literacy and age factor, also to control fake voting which ultimately adds transparency in voting system.
