Abstract: Electronic voting machines (EVM) have been developed and widely used in many developed nations to improve the election process and to avoid rigging. However, in reality, they have failed to do so because it can be hacked from the inside. There have been several reports of EVM tampering from several nations. Keeping these problems in mind, we propose an image-based voting system, which is cheap, reliable, and tamper proof. This paper will discuss the present system and will provide the design and analysis of the proposed image-based voting system. For this, we use Raspberry Pi as the host, which is a credit card sized single computer or SoC and uses ARM1176JZF-S core. SoC, or System on a Chip, is a method of placing all required electronics for running a computer on a single chip. It needs an Operating system to start up. SD/MMC card will act as a bootable hard disk. A camera will be employed to detect the vote placed. Each voting machine is locked by finger print access module. As the voter fingerprint is matched with the database, he/she will be sent to a specific machine for voting. Each voting machine is linked with the central raspberry pi voting identification system. This system is highly secure and fool proof.
