Abstract

The main objective of this work is to implement the Aadhar card for voting and also eliminating separate cards for a single person for any type of work. The manual operation takes time for presiding officer or polling officer to check each and every voter and also causes illegal voting or fraud voting. And also, it takes time for checking votes based on their voter id. Therefore by replacing the process by a single device is fixed with the EVMs which can scan the biometric measures of the voters and checks with the database which is already taken in the Aadhar card. If only the voter ID card is taken to vote in ballot causes illegal voting. To eradicate illegal voting, Aadhar card must be implemented to authenticate the biometric measures of the voter. So that, only an authenticated voter is allowed to vote in the ballot boxes. The details of all citizenry in India is maintained by the recent Unique Identification (UID) Aadhar system along with their biometric data, which is unique to every citizen. The voters are allowed to enrollwith the link of biometric data in the UID database to the voting machine and also ensures that a person cast their vote only once. From UID the details of a person can be retrieved  and matched for every citizen. This can be considered as best practice for  the citizen’s right to vote and remain stong in fair elections.
