Confidential E-Voting System Using Face Detection and Recognition

In any developing country democracy plays an important role where a leader for a country is elected by the citizen. One of the main issues in the conventional voting system is that it consumes lots of man-power as well as resources and the preparation have been started many days before the commencement of the election. During this preparation some people may involve in illegal arrangement with each other or try to replace with their henchmen in this process to win the election. It is a confidential process so it must be transparent, Meddle-Proof, Usable, Authenticated, Accurate, Verifiability and Mobility. There are some drawbacks in conventional voting system such as damage of machines, chances of violence, dummy voting and problem of proper monitoring. Manual voting system has been followed in many parts of our country so people could not poll their vote because it is place oriented and there is region wise distribution, voters need to reach the place of voting. To overcome these problems a new confidential E-Voting system is introduced which provides security to the election system by detection and recognising voter's face who is going to cast his/her vote. In this system the voter's face is detected, captured and stored in the database then match the captured image with the image already stored on database to recognise the person. If match occurs then the person is allow to cast their vote once the vote is casted the same person will not be permitted to cast votes this provide security against duplicate vote and fraudulent and make the system more efficient and user friendly.
