The TRUE VOTE system is a secure electronic voting prototype designed to improve transparency and prevent fraud in elections. It addresses issues like voter impersonation, duplicate voting, and lack of auditability in traditional systems. The system uses Aadhaar-based identity verification along with OTP authentication for initial validation. During registration, face liveness detection ensures that the voter is a real person. At the voting stage, fingerprint authentication using a certified biometric device confirms voter identity. Each vote is encrypted to maintain confidentiality and security. The votes are stored in a blockchain-based hash chain, ensuring immutability and tamper resistance. The system is developed using Flask, MediaPipe, and cryptographic techniques, providing a reliable and scalable digital voting solution.
