        abstract = {Electronic voting systems are used to make elections faster and easier, but many systems still face problems such as fake voting, duplicate voting, and unauthorized access. This paper presents biometric electronic voting system uses ESP32 and fingerprint authentication technology. The system verifies the voter’s fingerprint before going to voting and alerts many voting attempts. An ESP32 microcontroller, fingerprint sensor and face recognition, voting buttons, and EEPROM storage are used for this safe offline vote management. The system is a simple, reliable and suitable for schools, colleges and organizations.},
