🗳️ Smart Face Recognition Voting System

A secure, AI-powered face recognition-based voting system built with Python and OpenCV. This system ensures that only authorized users can vote and that each person can vote only once using real-time face detection and recognition.

🤖 How It Works

1. Face Registration (add_faces.py)

• The system captures 51 facial images using your webcam.
• Each voter is uniquely identified by their Aadhar number.
• Facial data and names are stored using pickle in the data/ directory.

2. Face Recognition and Voting (give_vote.py)

• When the voting script is run, the webcam scans for a registered face.
• Once the face is recognized:
  • If the voter has not voted yet, they are allowed to cast a vote using the keyboard.
  • If the voter has already voted, the system blocks duplicate voting with a warning.
• Votes are saved in Votes.csv with name, vote, date, and time.
• The system uses the Windows speech API to give voice feedback.
