🎉 Smart Election System 🎉

Welcome to the Smart Election System project! This Python-based application uses facial recognition and Aadhar number verification to securely register voters and store votes. The system captures face data via a primary webcam and saves votes in CSV files.

📑 Table of Contents

🌟 Introduction

The Smart Election System is designed to streamline and secure the voting process by leveraging facial recognition technology and Aadhar number verification. This system ensures that only verified individuals can vote, and it records votes in a tamper-proof manner.

🚀 Features

  • Face Registration: Capture and store face data using the primary webcam.
  • Aadhar Verification: Verify voter identity using their Aadhar number.
  • Voting: Securely cast and record votes in CSV files.
  • Data Persistence: Use of pickle for data serialization and storage.
  • Cross-platform Compatibility: Works on Windows with win32com.client library support.

🛠️ Installation

  1. Clone the Repository:

    git clone https://github.com/pkprajapati7402/smart-election-system.git
cd smart-election-system

  2. Create a Virtual Environment:

    python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

  3. Install Dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

🚦 Usage

  1. Run the Application:

    python give_vote.py

  2. Register Voter:

    • Follow the on-screen instructions to capture face data using the webcam.
    • Enter the Aadhar number for verification.

  3. Cast Vote:

    • Verified users can cast their vote, which will be saved in a CSV file.
