        abstract = {We propose a secure electronic voting framework that combines blockchain and biometric identification to ensure transparent, tamper-resistant elections. In this system, each eligible voter is registered with a unique biometric identity (e.g. fingerprint or facial scan) linked to a blockchain account. During voting, the voter authenticates via their biometric and casts a vote transaction on the blockchain. The decentralized ledger immutably records votes and prevents unauthorized tampering Biometric verification ensures one-person-one-vote and protects against impersonation. We detail the system architecture (user registration, authentication, vote casting and tallying) and analyze its security, highlighting how blockchain’s transparency and cryptographic guarantees, combined with biometric safeguards, address key election integrity challenges. The proposed design is novel in integrating end-to-end encryption of ballots with biometricbased voter admission, offering verifiability and privacy simultaneously.},
