1. The document proposes solutions to increase fairness in Indian elections by reducing malpractices like booth capturing and ensuring each voter can only cast one vote. 2. Key solutions proposed include using electronic voting machines with fingerprint or retina scans linked to a central server, scheduling voting times to reduce overcrowding, and sending SMS alerts to voters confirming their vote was cast. 3. Implementing these solutions would require funding from the Indian government to purchase the necessary voting machines and establish the required infrastructure and monitoring systems.

2. Scope of the problem
Many people in India refrain from casting their vote, foregoing their
democratic duty due to lack of faith the prevailing election system. The first
step towards choosing the right leader is willingness to cast vote.
Elections are conducted to select right leaders who are capable to lead the
country through fair and democratic means.
Problems faced during Election
Booth capturing
Malpractices such as casting another people votes
A People’s leader can only solve all the problems existing in the nation so by
increasing the security at the polling booth so that they can choose their true
original leader
Overcrowding of booth thereby leading to riots
Reason for selecting this theme
We need to intensify the election process so that the smart thinking groups
dreams end as a dream
In order to make the election process more easy, transparent and simple,
we have chosen this topic.

3. Quick view of Proposed Solution
1 . Electronic voting machine via finger impression system or Retina
scan system
2. Time scheduling for casting their vote
3. SMS alert for people immediately after casting their vote
6.Voting during holidays
4. Server connection to all electoral machines at the booths
so that if the booth is captured the counting at that booth will stopped via
server immediately
5.Campaign timing from 6.00pm to 9.00pm only
7.Avoiding free issue of materials to the public

4. The same person cannot cast the vote again if
tried the machine displays that you have
already casted your vote
The advanced electronic voting machine opens pnly
with the fingerprint impression of the voter which
is linked to the server containing all details
Details of the voter should be collected with the
fingerprint impression with bio-metric fingerprint
scanner
Bio-metric finger print
impression method
The voting process will be continued only after
the situation is overviewed by the officials
This can be achieve by connecting all the
voting machines through a server
This will be overviewed by a person and if there is
any sign of malpractice then the voting machine
will be disconnected from the office
A surveillance cam will be placed at all the
polling booths

Description about the proposed solution

5. The number of people in an area can be divided and
according to their allotted time they can come to the
booth and cast their vote
To avoid this, the voters should cast their vote at
allotted time for him.
Over crowding in the booths leads to the riots
which will be uncontrollable in some conditions
Time scheduling
If a voter receives a message before casting
the vote then the voter could file a complaint
to the Election commission of India
A alert message will be sent to the voter
stating “Thanks for casting your vote” after
the vote has been casted
SMS Alert

6. By reducing the campaign time will decrease the buying of votes
by giving sophisticated items & more violations to be prevented.
Reducing campaign time
Avoid free issuing of materials
By stopping the free issuing may reduce the tax which is additionally imposed on
the people as a burden or that tax amount can be used for the development of the
country.
Voting during government holidays
By keeping the election on the holidays, increase the percentage of peoples casting
their votes.

7. Merits of the proposed solution
1.Significantly reducing malpractice during voting
2.Server connection for security purpose
3.The sms alert can provide correct information to
the public.
4.A person can cast his/her vote only once in that
election at any circumstances.
5. If the machine is being Hacked via server the voting
machine shutdowns automatically.
6. The percentage of voting will be maximum on keeping it
on holidays

8. This should be funded by the
Government of India
The Advanced
Electronic voting
machine costs
around 7500 INR to
8000 INR(approx)
India needs
around 20 lac
advanced voting
machine
Financial resource
The total cost for the
machine is
1600,00,00,000 INR

9. Human resource
A separate group should function for server security purpose to activate and
deactivate the machine.
New force / commission should be formed
under the control of Election Commission
for monitoring the whole process in all the
stages (i.e. campaign,petetion &during
polling times)
It should have a individual power
to do its work without any
destruction of ruling & opposing
parities of government.

10. Impacts of the Solution
It increases the
% turnout for
voting
It helps in reducing the malpractices
It helps to conduct the election in a smooth manner

11. The machine should be prevented from hacking ,damage &
periodic maintanence is needed.
Challenges of the solutions
The voters should be aware of the basics of our ADVANCED
ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINE
The cost of the system is very high as compared to the old
