Smart Voting System with Face Recognition

India holds the title of the largest democracy in the world. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the governing body is chosen through a fair electoral process. Currently, India employs an offline voting system, which proves to be ineffective and inefficient due to the involvement of a large number of individuals and the lengthy time required to process and announce results. Consequently, to enhance the effectiveness of the system, a reform that addresses these limitations is necessary. The proposed method eliminates the need for individuals to vote in person, simplifying the process. It aims for a system that permits users to cast their votes remotely from any location using a computer or mobile device, thereby removing the necessity to travel to a polling location. Voters will need to register with their voter ID, name, and Aadhar number. A facial scanning technology will be implemented to capture images of voters prior to the election, which will be beneficial during the voting process. During the voting, a facial recognition system will compare the voters' facial data with stored data; if the two match, the vote will be counted, otherwise, the vote will be deemed invalid.
