ABSTRACT
This paper highlights electronic voting technology which can be deployed to reduce malpractice commonly prevalent during voting exercise. A careful analysis of biological traits involving fingerprint and facial recognition for verification and identification is presented. This involves the development of java programming codes for face recognizer and fingerprint scanner. Facial recognizer makes use of software that compares one image with another image and produces a score that measures how similar the images are to each other. Fingerprint scanner involves the development of a biometric fingerprint system using sensor module, feature extraction module, matcher module and system database module. It is shown here that finger print used as biometric verification is better than using facial recognition.
