INTRODUCTION

Biometrics is the term given to the use of biological traits behavioral characteristics to identify an Individual.

The traits may be fingerprints, hand geometry, facial geometry, retina patterns, voice recognition, and handwriting recognition.

If this system is employed the elections would be fair and free from rigging.

Electronic Voting Systems

Any voting process where an electronic means is used for votes casting and results counting

Securities of the E-voting systems

Eligibility

Unreusability

Anonymity

Accuracy

Fairness

Vote and go

Public verifiability

Issues of Present System

It requires human participation, in tallying the votes that makes the elections time consuming and prone to human error.

The voter finds the event boring resulting to a small number of voters.

Deceitful election mechanism.

Constant spending funds for the elections staff are provided

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.

It provides faster tabulation of results, improved accessibility, greater accuracy.

Lower risk of human and mechanical errors.

Conclusion

Thus the advent of this voting system would enable hosting of fair elections in India.

This will preclude the illegal practices like rigging.

The citizens can be sure that they alone can choose their leaders, thus exercising their right in the democracy.
