 INTRODUCTION

 The critical issue in elections is choosing a leader who will represent

his nation and preserve its citizens’ rights.
 Existing System:
• Manual, or paper-based voting
• Electronic voting systems
 To avoid the mistakes made by both manual and electronic voting
systems, we have developed the M-Voting system
 In this presentation, we attempt to facilitate, and ensure, the integrity
of elections by introducing our M-Voting system.
 EXISTING SYSTEM

Ballot System Electronic Voting Machine

 Manual counting, also known as hand-counting, requires a physical ballot that

represents voter intent.

 Electronic voting (also known as e-voting) is voting that uses electronic means
to either aid or take care of casting and counting votes.
DRAWBACKS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

Long queues Travelling to vote

Problem for Senior citizens and Handicaps

 PROPOSED SYSTEM

 It increase voters’ participation in the election operation.

 Enabling the voter to vote with absolute confidentiality
 The system authenticates the user using security
 M-VOTING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

A.Requirements analysis:
Three methods of gathering requirements for our M-Voting system.

1. Knowledge of people .
2. Requirements obtain from qualified people
3. Gather information and requirements implemented by existing systems.
 CONT…
B. Voting operation details using M-Voting:
Two key features that were taken into consideration after the problems of the Manual Voting System and
the E-Voting System had been described:
the M-Voting client:
 Mobile Phone is the client of M-
Voting.
 There is a registration process to
determines the identity of the voters.
 If their identity is authenticated, the
voters are allowed to cast their vote
the M-Voting server:
 M-Voting server side has a database,
which is connected to the government
identity authority.
 If the person is eligible and wishes to
participate in the election process, he
must participate in the registration
Process.
HOW THIS SYSTEM WORKS

 Fingerprint authentication.
 VeriFinger Embedded, VeriLook Embedded, and
MegaMatcher Embedded are used in this project
 They can be downloaded and run on mobile
 VeriFinger Embedded is also supported by a range of popular
fingerprint scanners and readers.
BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES USED IN THIS
PROJECT
 VERIFINGER
• Image quality determination
• Spoof fingerprint detection
• Adaptive image filtration
 VERILOOK
• Gender classification
• Facial attributes
• Age estimation
 MEGAMATCHER
• Designed for large-scale AFIS and multi-biometric
systems developers
ACTIONS PERFORMED IN THE ELECTION
PROCESS
i. Voter registration
ii. Voter validation
iii. M-Vote system activation
iv. Voter response
v. M-Vote activation code sent
vi. Voting period set
vii. Key retrieval by the mobile phone
viii. Valid vote message sent
ix. M-Vote system reminder
 M-VOTING ADVANTAGES

 Voting without borders

 Voting only once
 Choice Consideration
 An automated counting process
 Nomination of a party candidate
 Appointment of an administrator
 Election authority
 M-VOTING DISADVANTAGES

 Environmental factors
 Internal
 External

 Technical factors
 FUTURE ASPECTS

 M-Vote provides the ability to conduct the voting process

without the direct intervention of polling Stations.
 This system is characterized by its effectiveness, high
usability, accuracy, and rapidity.
 It can be considered as a turning point in the political, social,
and economic areas of state policy, with its multi-factor
authentication solution.
 It is being developed for many uses, varying from students’
representative selection to government elections and other
formal response-based procedures in future.
 CONCLUSION
 M-Voting is designed to improve on current voting processes.
 It allows voters to cast their vote via mobile phones.
 Streamline the registration process by requiring simply the voter’s national ID
number to check his/her eligibility and scanned fingerprint to ensure integrity.
 It eliminate vote tampering, and increase voter confidence in the voting process.
 The results show that M-Voting is a secured mobile application that increases the
accuracy and efficiency of the voting process.
 M-Voting could be an ideal solution for voting, it is a method that demands
integrity on the part of both nation and government.
