        abstract = {Electronic voting systems have gained prominence for their potential to streamline electoral processes and improve efficiency. However, widespread adoption continues to be hindered by critical concerns surrounding security, transparency, and accessibility. These challenges are particularly pronounced for vulnerable populations such as individuals with disabilities and the elderly, who often face barriers due to complex authentication methods and non-intuitive user interfaces. These limitations not only compromise the inclusiveness of democratic participation but also erode public trust in electronic voting mechanisms. This project proposes a novel electronic voting system that integrates fingerprint recognition with blockchain technology to address these pressing concerns. By utilizing biometric fingerprint authentication, the system simplifies the voter verification process, offering a user-friendly and secure method of access that reduces the reliance on passwords, PINs, or other cognitively demanding procedures. This biometric approach enhances accessibility and ensures that identity verification is both efficient and difficult to falsify. To further bolster the integrity of the electoral process, the proposed system incorporates blockchain technology as a foundational component for recording and storing votes. Blockchain’s decentralized and immutable ledger ensures that each vote is securely recorded and cannot be altered or deleted without consensus, thus enhancing transparency and preventing tampering. Additionally, the system supports end-to-end verifiability, enabling voters to confirm that their vote has been accurately recorded and counted, without compromising ballot secrecy. Together, fingerprint recognition and blockchain provide a synergistic solution that addresses the core challenges facing electronic voting systems today. This integration offers a secure, transparent, and accessible voting platform that fosters greater public trust and promotes inclusive democratic participation. The proposed system sets a foundation for the future of electronic elections by aligning advanced technology with the fundamental principles of electoral fairness, security, and accessibility},
