Solution Overview: This project will produce a voting machine that can enroll voters into its system, save voters’ biometric information into its memory, delete voters from its memory, authenticate voters based on their biometrics, vote for a candidate after being authenticated by the biometric system, prevent voters from voting more than once, and reject voters who are not already enrolled in the system. Solution Components: Subsystem 1: Finger print module - will read fingerprints of voters and send biometric information to the system’s memory Subsystem 2: LCD Screen - will show all information relevant to the voter and help the voter input and output information in and out of the overall system Subsystem 3: Control Keys - will allow the voter to control the voting machine, as well as select candidates when it is time to make votes. This would be done using a keyboard and push buttons, and the inputs will be processed using subsystem 5. Subsystem 4: External output devices - LEDs and a speaker will give visual and audio output to the voter to assist them in using the voting machine Subsystem 5: Microcontroller - will be the brains of the project, controlling all other subsystems and allowing them to work together in the machine Criterion for Success: The ability to identify voters with their unique biometric IDs, and allow them to make secure, legitimate votes that are accurately recorded within the system. |
