Voting process takes the significant part of democratic systems. In most of the developing countries, paper
ballot method is still being used. Information technology also has offered significant advantages and facilities to improve
the quality of voting process. Digital recording electronic systems are developed replacing paper ballots. Although this is
a great advancement, this process is prone to tampering threats and electoral frauds. This paper presents a new voting
process which makes use of Raspberry Pi which has improved reliability and transparency over currently used systems.
This system employs biometric identifiers in pursuit of authenticity. Pre collected Details of all the voters in the country
will be maintained as a central database by the government. This data is rechecked at the time of voting to ensure the
identity of voters. Usage of Raspberry Pi for web casting the complete voting process and time to time display of polling
percentage etc., details will tremendously affect the reliability of the process. Transparency and minimum usage of
personnel is achieved at a cheaper cost and simpler process with this Raspberry Pi and its peripherals. The aim of this
study is to design a secured electronic voting system using multimodal biometrics.
