ABSTRACT: -- This project centers on the advancement of an affordable fingerprint-based electronic voting system utilizing Arduino UNO. Such a system digitally records, stores, and processes voters' data. It comprises both hardware and software components. The hardware involves Arduino paired with a fingerprint module. This proposed system offers an efficient solution for expediting voter identification. The FP-EVM design is characterized by its portability, flexibility, and minimal power consumption. Additionally, it boasts a user-friendly interface, easy adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. Its architecture is straightforward, ensuring rapid response times and room for future enhancements. Utilizing thumb impressions for voter identification capitalizes on the uniqueness of each individual's thumbprint. This approach provides an advantage over current voting systems by ensuring that voting rights are exclusively accessed by legitimate users. Preceding elections, a database is created containing the thumb impressions of all eligible voters within a constituency. During the voting process, a voter's thumb impression is inputted into the system and compared against the database. If a match is found, the voter is granted access to cast their vote. Conversely, if there is no match or if there's a duplicate entry, voting access is denied, and the vote is rejected. This method yields instantaneous results, simplifies the counting process, and reduces overall election costs and system maintenance expenses. Offering an alternative to postal voting, the system allows individuals to vote from any location within Karnataka using their pre-saved Aadhar card details. By selecting their specific voting area, this feature facilitates voting for non-residents, enhancing accessibility and participation. Furthermore, age verification is implemented before voting, and individuals failing to vote in three consecutive elections risk cancellation of their citizenship. Disabled individuals are accommodated through the use of a swipe machine where they can vote using their Aadhar card details, ensuring inclusivity in the electoral process.

 Abstract

In the modern digital age, platforms like Reddit have ascended as pivotal spaces where individuals candidly express their experiences and emotions, especially surrounding stress. The traditional methodologies employed to categorize stress, which predominantly hinge on manual surveys or expansive keyword searches, present inherent limitations. They often provide only a superficial granularity and grapple with the ever-evolving, voluminous data pouring in from platforms like Reddit. Notably, these prevailing systems conspicuously lack the computational sophistication required to deeply comprehend and categorize the intricate expressions of stress embedded in large-scale online dialogues. Such methods frequently misconstrue context, overlook linguistic subtleties, or overgeneralize diverse stressors into overarching, broad categories. In terms of assessment, this research stands out in its originality and novelty, pioneering the application of BERT for discerning stress categories on Reddit. The methodology is delineated with crystal-clear precision and thoroughness, ensuring a replicable blueprint for future endeavors. Given the burgeoning prevalence of online stress dialogues, the research's societal relevance and significance are undeniable. By adroitly bridging a crucial void in stress categorization and proffering a refined, scalable solution, this study solidifies its position as a seminal contribution to the field of online stress analytics.
