Abstract : This paper presents the design and implementation of a secure FPGA-based electronic voting system that integrates biometric authentication and pressure-sensitive validation to enhance voter verification and ensure accurate vote casting. The system employs biometric sensors to verify the identity of each voter before allowing access to the voting interface, thereby preventing unauthorized voting. Additionally, a pressure sensor is used to ensure that enough force is applied during the vote casting process, thus minimizing chances of accidental or invalid votes. The voting system works in two modes: voting mode, which captures and validates votes, and counting mode, where votes are tallied and results are displayed. The FPGA architecture allows for efficient real-time processing of biometric data, pressure input, and vote validation. Ensures a very high reliability and security. Testing of the system reveals its efficiency in ensuring that votes are securely captured and counted; hence it's viable to be used in the real-world electoral environments.
