Finger Print Based Voting System for Rigging Free

Governing
ABSTRACT:

According ancient Greek scripts BIOMETRICS means study of life. Biometrics

studies commonly include fingerprint, face, iris, voice, signature, and hand geometry
recognition and verification. Many other modalities are in various stages of development
and assessment. Among these available biometric traits Finger Print proves to be one of
the best traits providing good mismatch ratio and also reliable. Registering the
attendances of students has become a hectic work as sometimes their attendance may be
registered or missed. To overcome this problem i.e. to get the attendances registered
perfectly we are taking the help of two different technologies viz. EMBEDDED
SYSTEMS and BIOMETRICS.

Firstly discussing about Biometrics we are concentrating on Fingerprint

scanning. For this we are using FIM 3030N high voltage module as a scanner. This
module has in-built ROM, DSP and RAM. In this we can store up to 100 user’s
fingerprints. This module can operate in 2 modes they are Master mode and User mode.
We will be using Master mode to register the fingerprints which will be stored in the
ROM present on the scanner with a unique id.

When this module is interfaced to the microcontroller, we will be using it in user

mode. In this mode we will be verifying the scanned images with the stored images.
When coming to our application the images of the citizens will be stored in the module
with a unique id. To poll their vote the citizens have to scan their image which is then
verified with the image present in fingerprint module and their vote will be updated.

This scanner is interfaced to 8051 microcontroller through max232 enabling

serial communication. By using this controller we will be controlling the scanning
process. After the scanning has been completed the result is stored in the microcontroller.
By simply pressing a switch we can get the details of the polling.

This project uses regulated 5V, 500mA power supply. 7805 three terminal
voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to
rectify the ac out put of secondary of 230/12V step down transformer.

Advantages:

• No manual errors
• No false Voting
• Need not remember any password
• Need not to carry any card

Scopes for Advancements:

 GSM modem can be connected to this unit to communicate to remote reporting

office
 RTC can be interfaced to record login and logout time.

Applications:

 Government Elections
 Company / Corporate internal elections
 Union Elections
