In this, system actually use two steps for verification of the voters during the voting session, one is RFID data verification of voters and followed by successful face authentication will allow the voters to vote for their desired candidate using Haar Cascade Algorithm. These two authentication process will definitely reduce the piracy issues of voters and counterfeit vote. In India, there are two types of voting in practice. They are secret Ballet paper and Electronic Voting Machines (EVM), but both of the process has some limitation or demerits. The current voting system is not secure and time consuming as well. The people who are not eligible to vote can also cast their votes by unwanted means, which may cause various problems. In India, Computerized voting system has not yet been implemented. So, initiating this system we are proposing a way for voting which will be more effective. Here we have two level of security in voting process. The first level is the verification of RFID number and second level is face recognition. The security level of our system has been highly improved by the use of new method for each voter. The authentication of the user in the system is improved by using face recognition in the application, which will be able to identify whether the user is authenticated user or not. Keywords: RFID, Haar Cascade Algorithm, Unique number, aunthentication, counterfeit vote. 1. INTRODUCTION Electronic voting machine has already been developed and widely used in many developed countries. But during the election time, verification process takes a lot more time and there is possible to occur counterfeit vote. In India, they are using two types of method for voting. The first method is secret ballot paper, in which many papers are used and second method is EVM (electronic voting machine) which is in use since 2003. We need to propose a computerised voting system which is more secure than the existing one. In this, face recognition is used which will used to detect the right person that is stored in database. In our proposed system, we are using two types of verification for voters. The first one is RFID number verification, if your election commission id number is correct in RFID Data Verification then you have to go for Second level of security which is the main security level where the system recognize the face of the real voter from the current database of face images given by the election commission which is already connected with RFID. Finally, the images taken is matched with the images stored in the database, then the voters can cast their voting in the election. As you know that in the existing system there is no much secure in voting because here the only source of security level is the voter id which can easily be accessed by the other person by getting their voter id card. By keeping this in mind we are proposing new level of security which is much more secure than the existing system. 2. LITERATURE SURVEY 1) DIP BASED SMART ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE With the inclusion of biometric fingerprint sensor, each voter is entered into the system only after being recognized and checked with the given database of enlisted voters. Once the corresponding fingerprint is matched with the information provided, the voter will be allowed to proceed for choosing their preferred candidate from the panel of buttons. The final vote is then displayed onto a LCD for the satisfaction of voters. The disadvantage of this was current method of the voting system was easily hacked. 2) DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF MICROPROCESSOR BASED ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEM The vote casting system is almost similar to traditional system, only ballot box will be replaced by the device. The machine uses voter ID that is to identify a valid voter and restrict multiple vote casting. The main disadvantage of this is that image is not clearly recognised.
