Desenvolvimento de uma urna electrónica e do software de escrutínio em tempo real

Abstract

This project focused on the development of an intelligent electronic voting platform aimed at enhancing the monitoring and control of fraud in electoral processes. The solution inte- grates advanced biometric authentication and facial recognition technologies, combined with an interactive web interface and a real-time communication system, to ensure the security and integrity of the election. The created prototype enables rigorous verification of voter identity through QR Code scanning and facial validation, ensuring that only re- gistered and authenticated voters can exercise their right to vote. Beyond authentication, the platform provides election administrators with tools to closely monitor each stage of the process, from voter registration to vote tallying, promoting transparency and real-time control. A key feature of the system is its ability to record votes instantly and perform automated analyses of electoral patterns, providing valuable insights to identify possible irregularities or trends during the election. The automatic generation of reports—including comprehen- sive statistical data on voting, vote distribution by candidate and party, as well as partici- pation indicators—supports more informed and evidence-based decision-making. The methodology adopted for the report involved continuous data collection throughout the electoral process, applying specific metrics to evaluate the reliability and integrity of the information obtained. The calculation of scores and quantitative indicators was based on weighted criteria, enabling precise monitoring of the system’s performance and secu- rity. The results demonstrate that the integration of biometrics, AI-assisted facial recognition, and real-time data analysis is an effective approach to modernize electoral systems, en- suring scalability, security, and reliability. This platform represents a significant advance in combating fraud, fostering greater trust among voters and authorities in the democratic process.
