Inventor(s) include Seshadri Rao Gudlavalleru Engineering College; Mr. Venubabu Inala; Mr. Pavan Kalyan Bolla; Sravanam Tej Mohan; Pulaparthi Eswar; and Veerla Shanmuka Yadav.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The traditional voting process often suffers from inefficiencies and security concerns such as impersonation, multiple voting, and lack of transparency. To address these issues, this project proposes a Biometric Voting Device that integrates fingerprint authentication with a microcontroller-based voting system. In this system, voter data is collected and verified by the election officer. Each voter is authenticated through a biometric fingerprint scanner before accessing the voting interface, which displays party details and buttons to cast the vote. Once the fingerprint is successfully matched, the voter can securely select their preferred party. The microcontroller records the vote and stores it in a secure manner. For result declaration, the election officer uses their designated fingerprint to authenticate the process. Upon verification, the system displays the election results on a connected display unit. This approach ensures security, transparency, and efficiency while minimizing the possibility of fraud or manipulation."
