eVoting Application for Election – Using SMS OTP Verification
Abstract
As we know in urban areas now a day the voting system is getting most complicated only because of the person’s identity. They only have the voting card as a proof of identification. So there are lots of chances of fake voting. To avoid this we are developing this project which will store the identity of the voters using android or web application This system will get otp for login using voters ID and match verify stored database. After that OTP (One- Time Password) is generated and send to the voters registered mobile number. Then the voter is validated and he is allowed to do the voting. This is very fast and helpful technique to do the verification of the voters. This will also reduce voter’s time to stand in queue for doing vote. Online Voting System Project Application

Existing System
The whole election process is divided into many parts. So providing security to them is also necessary. So it needs a lot of man power, therefore it is quite difficult to manage it. Here Election commission provides the polls. These polls will be arranged in school or in halls. Existing systems contains certain drawbacks as chances of the violence, damage of machineries, dummy votes etc . So to avoid these drawbacks this paper implements a new technique as Android Mobile based Voting System through photo Recognition . There are also so many other techniques such as finger print recognition system but we are using this technique which provides bandwidth utilization for face matching and reorganization .
Disadvantage of Existing system
A.Expensive elections:
In India, elections are very expensive so common man cannot afford this. Therefore only rich people can fight elections. Also they make use of political power and money through illegal methods.
B.Misuse of official machinery:
The election laws have to check the misuse of official machinery during the elections. But then also the ruling party makes use of government vehicles and servants in their favor.
- Use of caste/religion in election:
In India, many votes are cast on the basis of caste and religion. As a result of this people get divided on the basis of caste which is very harmful for election process. So to avoid these inconsistencies we propose the online voting system through photo recognition and OTP generation. It also overcomes the above challenges.
Proposed System
In the first step the registration process is done by the voters through an application. Then in the second step the application will start its process. Here we use already existed database or centralized database, which contains voter’s information with linked mobile number. Server sends the OTP (One-Time Password) to the voter’s registered mobile number. Then voter enters that OTP, then database again verifies that entered OTP by voter and if it is correct that means it is valid user. After that the candidate’s list will appears. This list contains the candidate name and in front of that name the button named ‘Vote’ is provided. Voter should have to press that button then only the voting is done and the voting procedure is completed.
