Abstract: Voting is the most basic right of every citizen and is one of the most important responsibilities of every citizen. The votes which we cast decide the future of our country, and we must vote honestly and not succumb to any sort of pressure as the phrase goes “With great power comes great responsibility”. Now once our votes are cast, we should ensure they are not manipulated in any way. The current voting system (EVM) is easy to manipulate i.e., there is a lot of human intervention which in turn could compromise the results of the elections, hence in this project we will try to solve this vulnerability by introducing a two-step verification which will help avoid the middle man attack i.e. only when the voter is physically present the fingerprint of the voter can be registered and only then the OTP will be sent to user’s mobile number this in turn prevents fake voters.
