MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061220 A) filed by Bhavana Pabbuleti, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, on May 14, for 'rfid & fingerprint based secure electronic voting machine using embedded system.'
Inventor(s) include P. Bhavana; B. Jyothi; M. Siddartha; K. Chandu; K. Akash; and N. V. S. Akhil.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In recent years, the application of embedded systems in automation and security has increased significantly. Among many applications, embedded systems play major role in Electronic Voting Machine (EVM). Many of the voting systems like biometric-based systems, online voting systems and hybrid systems are also developed. Despite of this, a cost-effective, reliable, and easy-to-implement voting system that combines multiple authentication techniques is required for safe and secure voting process. The proposed work presents a secure electronic voting system using RFID and fingerprint authentication. The system employs a dual-authentication mechanism in which RFID cards are used for initial identification and fingerprint verification is used for biometric confirmation. The RFID UIDs are pre-stored in the microcontroller, while fingerprint templates are stored in the internal memory of the sensor module. Only authenticated users are allowed to cast their vote, ensuring that each voter can vote only once. The system effectively prevents unauthorized access and duplicate voting, thereby enhancing security and transparency. The proposed system is cost-effective, reliable, and suitable for small-scale voting applications such as institutional elections."
