Abstract

The aim of this paper is to propose a novel approach to conducting safe, clean and unbiased elections by issuing Voter Cards with encrypted QR codes and including a new device called Voter Card Processor (VCAP) for verifying the issued voter cards at polling stations during elections. Detailed descriptions are provided of how to generate encrypted QR code voter cards, and how the VCAP functions in detecting fraudulent voter cards and repeat voters. This approach enables polling officers to automatically verify forgery of voter cards, identify and stop repeat voters, and also prevent rigging and compromised voting that could be possible due to corruption, bribery, intimidation and muscle power.
