Abstracts: The “ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM USING BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION” is an electronic way of choosing leaders via a web driven application which uses voter’s fingerprint for authentication. For authentication there are 3 options for verification: Iris Verification, Face Verification and Fingerprint Verification. But, Fingerprint Verification is the most authentic way we could use and thus we chose this option for authentication. Fingerprints are more reliable form for authentication because they remain constant till death and are never same for two human beings and not same even for twins. The advantage of online voting over the common “queue method” is that the voters have the choice of voting at their own free time and there is reduced congestion. It also minimizes the errors of vote counting. The individual votes are submitted in a database which can be queried to find out who of the aspirants for a given post has the highest number of votes. With this system, a voter can use his voting right online without any difficulty. The voter has to log in using his EPIC details and authenticate himself using fingerprint verification. Hence, it is obvious that for a voter to vote online, he must hold an EPIC. Hence, in effect, the Online Voting System can revolutionize the Electoral System of India, making it more efficient and reliable, with a huge technological advancement.
