Abstract: Integrity and security of a vote process is a matter that in a democratic society is significant. Traditionally, voting is exposed to problems such as fraud during voting, more than once voting, or altering. This project creates an innovative blockchain-based biometric system of voting that provides immunity for voter fraud, duplicate votes, and tampering because of the immutability in blockchain technology and adding an additional layer of validation via biometrics. The system uses fingerprint recognition to uniquely identify voters, so each person can only vote once. An Arduino Uno is used to capture and process biometric data and acts as a communication bridge to the backend server. The backend, implemented with a blockchain infrastructure, securely records and verifies each vote, keeping a transparent and tamper- proof ledger. This paper describes the architecture, implementation, and performance of the proposed system to show its potential to make electronic voting systems more reliable and secure.
