All citizens’ finger prints’ data will be stored in Central Bank servers. * Citizens need not enrol their names in voter lists as in the present system. All citizens will get into voter lists once they get the age of 18. * No government machinery is needed to enrol citizens in voter lists. * There will be no possibility of complaints from voters for non inclusion of their names in voter lists * The banks will submit the list of all individuals above the age of 18 years according to the Main Savings Accounts handled by each bank branch to the Election Commission as and when the Election Commission asks for it. * As it is stated earlier there will be a bank branch in every colony or village having population of 2500. * Each bank branch premises should have two huge rooms/partitions/floors/ blocks * The one room/partition/floor/block will be used for daily banking operations and the second room/partition/block/floor in the same bank premises will be used as polling booth for all elections from panchayats to Parliament, from general elections to bye-elections * In this second room/partition/block/floor of every bank branch two voting machines are placed permanently and in working condition * These voting machines are connected to the servers in the Central Election Commission * The finger prints and images of all voters [account holders whose age is above 18 years]     will be stored in the Central Election Commission servers  *The voting machines will have two parts. The upper part will have screen out side as in the ATMs. The lower part will be empty * On the screen of the upper part of the voting machine there will be elections symbols of the contesting candidates. These symbols will be in single row. * The election symbols are same in all voting machines of all branches that are situated in same constituency. * The symbols in the voting machines may vary according to the contesting candidates in different constituencies. * These are designed to register votes both digital recording and symbol printing on roll of paper * Every machine will have separate spools for all symbols. The roll of the paper spool should be 50 metres long and width of the roll should be 2 cm. The paper slip thickness that is being used in the present ATMs is enough to this voting paper also. *The entire roll of paper which is 50 metres long should be divided into 2500 square parts. Each part on the roll of paper is 2 cm width and 2 cm height. * Inside the voting machines these 8 spools are fixed in alignment of the symbols on the front screen of the voting machine  * One square part of each spool paper can be seen empty from outside. * One square part of each spool paper can be visible side by side in a single row through glass below each symbol of contesting candidates. * On the back side of each part of this spool paper there will be serial numbers from 1 to 2500. These numbers will not be visible to the voter. * If there are more than 8 candidates contesting in constituency then there would be two voting machines. To reduce the number of contestants and eliminate the non serious contestants electoral reforms are required. See the web site - www.electoralreforms.net * When a voter wants to cast his vote he has to put his left hand on the symbol he wants to vote. * The voting machine will scan the fingers image, tally with the data at central servers and register his choice of vote digitally inside the voting machine. The counting number of each symbol will not be visible to the voter. But the cumulative number of all votes on all symbols will be displayed on the voting machine [It can be seen on the voting machine by the voter] Every time a vote is registered by the voting machine the total number increase by one number. *At the same the voting machine will print a small symbol of the voter’s selected symbol on square part on the symbol’s spool paper and the spool rolls 2 cm downwards. * The voter will be able to see the total digital vote recording of all symbols increase by one number and at the same time his vote symbol printed on the empty part and the spool rolls 2 cm down in to lower part of the voting machine. Now the next empty square part on the roll paper is seen. *When the next voter arrives he will see only empty square part on all spool papers. He will cast his vote and comes out. All this happens in a few seconds for each voter. * The voting machine will not register the vote if the voter tries to put his hand on the machine second time. It instantly sends out a warning siren. The security guards will take him outside. * There will be a screening machine at the entrance of this polling room. This is not voting machine. This is vote slip producing machine. Every voter before entering the room will have to put his left hand on the screen of this machine. The machine will scan the finger images,  tally and check with the stored data and produce small vote slip if the voter has an account in that branch and if he did not vote already. The machine would not produce a voter slip for second time for the same person. The voter slip contains his name and account number. * Then the voter will be allowed into the voting room and should hand over the slip to the polling official. * The polling room should be divided into three parts. In the first part the voting machines will be placed. In the second part the polling officials will sit and in the third part the polling agents of the contesting candidates will sit * There will be screen board in the polling room connected to the voting machines. * The screen board will show the total voter number at each vote cast. The total number will increase by one number after each vote is registered * When the voter cast his vote, his name and voter number will be displayed on the board. * The booth agents will mark the voters’ names in their lists * All the voting machines will be connected to the central servers in the Central Election Commission. * In this way the total number of votes polled can be known according to booth wise, constituency wise, state wise and country wide at every second. *At the end of the day the total number votes cast will be noted by the polling officials and polling agents. The rooms will be sealed and cc video cameras will be active monitoring the voting machines and whole inside of the voting room. * The polling booth official should hand over the collected voter slips to his higher authorities. * The counting can be done the next morning. There will be no need to move voting machines to counting centres. * The polling officials will open the voting machine in the presence of polling agents and with full coverage of cc video cameras. This entire process of counting should be made public and put on the internet. * Inside the machine the digital recording of all symbols will be seen.  The booth officials record the numbers of all symbols. He would verify the digital number for each symbol recorded and also the last printed number on back side of the roll of spool paper in the presence of polling agents. The digital recording of the symbol and printing number of the symbol should be same and would be the same. The total number of vote’s registered and total individual votes of all symbols should be same. * The digital recording of all votes will be connected to the constituency server and Central election commission servers. * This process can be completed within half an hour. * The final results can be declared by the Central Election Commission within one hour on the counting date. * There is absolutely no possibility for bogus voting, impersonate voting and rigging * There will be no need for booth officials to put a mark on voter’s finger and verify the voter lists. * Voting will take less time.
