Electronic voting (e-voting) systems are designed to make elections faster, more efficient, and more transparent compared to traditional paper-based voting. However, many existing systems still face problems like voter impersonation, multiple voting, and tampering with voting data.To solve these issues, this research proposes a secure e-voting system that uses fingerprint-based biometric authentication. In this system, each voter's fingerprint is captured and converted into a unique encrypted template, preventing duplication or forgery.When a voter comes to vote, their fingerprint is matched with the stored record to ensure that only the right person can vote--and only once. To protect the security of the votes, encryption methods such as AES or RSA are used during both data transmission and storage.The system also generates a unique transaction ID as a receipt for each voter. This allows the voter to confirm that their vote was recorded, without revealing who they voted for.Overall, the proposed system increases transparency, blocks fraudulent activities, and provides strong end-to-end security throughout the election process. Experimental results show that combining biometric authentication with encryption greatly improves the accuracy of voter verification and the overall reliability of the system compared to traditional e-voting methods.
