Summary:Humans rely heavily on fingerprints as a means of identification. In this work, we suggest using Arduino to create a biometric voting system. Most elections throughout the globe did not use biometric technology; instead, they opted for the more traditional paper ballot. Authenticity of voters is only one example of a security risk in the existing voting system. The suggested approach allows for the rapid verification of a voter's identification. The registration data of all eligible voters was safely kept. We prioritise secure, accessible voting that upholds democracy and promotes civic engagement. Our efforts aim to foster trust and confidence in the electoral system while safeguarding its integrity. We empower citizens to vote quickly and confidently through our commitment to security, transparency, and accessibility. With this system in place, voters need not worry about the safety of their fingerprint-based ballots since they are digitally stored and verified. Fingerprint voting speeds up the counting process and cuts the need for human labour altogether.
