RFID BASED SMART ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEM FOR REDUCING ELECTROL FRAUDS

Abstract

This project describes the design, operation of smart EVM using microcontroller, RFID, GSM
technology to improve the election process by avoiding the electoral fraud and to ensure safety, security, reliability,
guarantee and transparency and smooth conduct of elections in the country as the voting is of crucial importance in
the society where people determine its government. This paper talks about an innovative approach for voting process
where the device communicates with the RFID tag which is embed in the voter ID card. When the voter scans his
card, the controller checks the ID and if it matches, the vote can be accessed. The voter inserts the password through
keypad and if the password is confirmed then the person is allowed to vote and this process is repeated for every
person.
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express
an opinion, usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office
by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called "constituents", and those constituents
who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called "voters". There are different systems for collecting votes.
