 INTRODUCTION
What is BIOMETRICS?
* Biometrics is the term given to the use of biological traits or
behavioral characteristics to identify an individual. The traits
may be fingerprints, hand geometry, facial geometry, retina
patterns, voice recognition, and handwriting recognition.

* we have used thumb impression for the purpose of voter

identification or authentication. As the thumb impression of
every individual is unique, it helps in maximizing the
accuracy. A database is created containing the thumb
impressions of all the voters in the constituency. Illegal votes
and repetition of votes is checked for in this system. Hence if
this system is employed the elections would be fair and free
from rigging. Thanks to this system that conducting elections
would no longer be a tedious and expensive job.

 DESIGN
* The design of the system consists of the following important
parameters :
1. Scanning-using DSP Processor.
2. Searching –based on the principle of GOOGLE SEARCH.
3. Networking-all the election booths are connected in a network.
4. Data transfer –using telephone lines.
* The only pre-requisite for the use of this finger print scanner
is a personal identification card. We hope that this system
proves to be efficient and enables the people to be smarter
in choosing their leaders.

FINGER PRINT SCANNER

 FINGER PRINT SENSOR: This scans the thumb

impression and proceeds the data in analog form to
the next stage.
 A/D CONVERTER: This converts analog data to
digital form and transfers to processor.
 FLASH ROM: This stores data temporarily in DSP
processor until it is transferred to HOST.
 DSP CHIP: It helps in receiving and processing data
and further connected to USB port.
 USB PORT: It establishes a link between DSP
processor and memory.

ADVANTAGES :

 The system is highly reliable and secure.

 In the long run the maintenance cost is very less
when compared to the present systems.
 Illegal practices like rigging in elections can be
checked for.
 It is possible to get instantaneous results and with
high accuracy.

CONCLUSION

 Thus the advent of this biometric thumb

impression voting system would enable hosting of fair
elections in India. This will preclude the illegal
practices like rigging. The citizen can be sure that they
alone can choose their leaders, exercising their right of
democracy.
