Abstract Electronic voting systems have become an important component of modern democratic processes due to their speed, efficiency, and accuracy. However, conventional electronic voting machines are vulnerable to unauthorized access, duplicate voting, and identity fraud. This paper presents a Smart Electronic Voting Machine (SEVM) that integrates Face Recognition and QR Code Authentication with an Arduino UNO microcontroller to enhance election security and transparency. The proposed system verifies voter identity through dual authentication mechanisms before granting voting access. A Python-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) processes facial recognition and QR code validation, while the Arduino controls the voting hardware. Votes are securely recorded and stored in an encrypted database, preventing duplicate voting attempts. Experimental results demonstrate reliable voter authentication, accurate vote counting, real-time status monitoring, and automatic winner declaration. The proposed system provides a secure, low-cost, and efficient solution suitable for educational institutions, organizations, and small-scale elections.
