In this System a voter can poll his vote easily. In this database server all voters’ information was stored to register in this system, the voter should fill a registration form with the help of a user id and password. This information will be checked by the database server. Because all the information about the voter would be already there is anything wrong, the system will not allow the voter to poll his or her vote. This system is helpful to the voter’s decreases the time of voting process also. It is more Secured way. Fingerprint is an important identity of the user. Fingerprint Voting System is user-friendly. It has simple architecture, responses very quickly manner, It reduce the polling time, Easy to carrying to polling center from the polling box, Reduce the staff of voting center, It provide easy and accurate counting without any troubles. Key words: Fingerprint Voting System Arduino Sri Lanka Election INTRODUCTION that there is more opportunity for occurring error, such as Elections were a defining feature of democratic Sometimes votes were even manipulated and motivate by government, an electoral system is the set of rules that political parties which lead to inaccurate vote and it will determines how elections and referendums were distort the results of an election in favour of certain conducted and how their results were determined. Political candidates. This device can be useful for easy to handle, electoral systems were organized by governments, reliability and accurate. Vote counting is one of the vital while non-political elections may take place in business, activities in the election process. Failure to complete the non-profit organizations and informal organizations. count could lead to impact on people attitude towards the There were so many electoral systems in world. That current government so that the election counting should was paper ballots, punch cards and Optical Mark Sense be transparent, accurate and reliable then only public will Ballots. feel confidence in the elections each polling station has a Some electoral systems elect a single winner to a list of all voters assigned to the station and only those unique position, such as prime minister, president or listed may vote in that Polling station. Electronic Voting governor, while others elect multiple winners, such as Machine is a basic electronic machine that can be used to members of parliament or boards of directors. store the votes. There were two different forms of voting The fingerprint voting system is an electronic voting currently existing in the world such as Distance voting machine using human biometric system.
