2. INTRODUCTION
The project is designed for eight contestants. Voters can poll
their vote to any one of the contestant. In this project, one
port is dedicated for 8 push-button switches for eight
contestants, and a master switch for polling officer. A simple
yet powerful program is written in assembly language and is
burnt onto the microcontroller to accept votes and to keep
counting the total votes polled. A polling-officer switch
(master) is provided to avoid multiple polling by a single
voter. Every voter gets approval from the polling officer. If
the polling officer issues approval with his control switch,
then only the voter can poll his vote.
3. CLOSING
The cap on the “Close Button” is
Removed and the button pressed
The cap is then replaced
The unit is then switched “Off” and the
Interconnecting cable disconnected
4. ADVANTAGES
Modernisms the election process
User friendly-can be used even by illiterates
Simple to operate and can be installed in a short
time
Preserves voting secrecy
No scope for invalid votes
Re- usable by simply erasing votes recorded in
earlier poll
5. WORKING PRINCIPAL
The control unit is kept with the presiding officer and the
balloting unit is used by the voter for polling.
Against each candidate’s name, a read LED and a blue
button is provided.
The voter polls his vote by pressing the blue button against
the name of his desired candidate
6. FINGER PRINT SCANNER
This is used to scan the thumb impression.
This is used to convert the analog data into the
digital data and transfer it to the processor.
This is for the storage of the data temporarily in
the DSP processor.
This is used to receive the data and process it.
