Utilizing facial recognition technology and email and OTP verification, the initiative aims to transform the voting experience by providing citizens with a safe, efficient, and convenient way to exercise their right to vote has been implemented. By using facial recognition, our system provides a reliable method of voter identification, ensuring accuracy and relevance during the verification process.
