A Biometric Traits based Authentication System for Indian Voting System

All nations needs a democracy and nations in which democracy exists are trying for improvement in voting system. Recent Movement of Egypt and all developed nations having a democracy shows the value of voting. Developing nations like India are spending huge money to improve their whole voting system to provide a better government to their citizens. For good democracy, a voting system should be correct, transparent and fully authentic. In this text we are comparing the covenantal method of voting with new proposed voting system which is based on complete biometric traits of voter which are saved in a government database as Aadhaar (U-id) number database. These biometrics traits provide secure and feasible authentication to the voters. Biometrics prevents the fraud and illegal voting. Our efforts in this paper are directed towards reviewing existing challenges to the conventional electoral system of India with the aim of addressing fraudulent electoral prices by the use of biometric authentication based Electronic voting system.
