This document summarizes an electronic voting machine project that uses fingerprint identification. It allows voters to cast secret electronic ballots that are stored and can be recounted. Traditionally, paper ballots listed candidates' names. While electronic voting is simple, concerns include the potential for votes to be tracked, systems lacking reliability or transparency, and the possibility of undetectable or wholesale fraud. Both advantages and disadvantages of the first-past-the-post voting system are also discussed.
