MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621009586 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Jan. 30, for 'biometric voting system and method for secure voting.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Prashant Jain; Lokesh Vishwakarma; Prof. Vijay Malviya; and Manish Prajapati.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A biometric voting system (100) comprises a fingerprint sensor (102), a real-time clock device (104), a storage device (106) configured to store encrypted biometric templates and vote records, and a hardware processor (108) coupled to the fingerprint sensor (102), the real-time clock device (104), and the storage device (106). The hardware processor (108) obtains biometric fingerprint data and current time to perform authentication by comparing obtained biometric fingerprint data against encrypted biometric templates stored in the storage device (106). The hardware processor (108) computes whether current time falls within a predefined voting period and whether a current vote count is below a preset vote-count limit. The hardware processor (108) sets voting operations to an active state when authentication completes and conditions are satisfied, and sets voting operations to a locked state when the predefined voting period expires or when the preset vote-count limit is reached."
