Abstract: Face Detection and Recognition system (FDR) is used as an Authentication technique in online voting, which is one of electronic voting types. Web based voting allows the voter to vote from any place in state or out of state. The voter-s image is captured and passed to a face detection algorithm which is used to detect his face from the image and save it as the first matching point. The voter-s National identification card number is used to retrieve and return his saved photo from the database of the Supreme Council elections which is passed to the same detection algorithm to detect face from it and save it as second matching point. The two matching points are used by a matching algorithm to check wither they are identical or not. If the results of the matching algorithm are two point match then checks wither this person has the right to vote or not. If he has right to vote then a voting form is presented to him. Second level authentication is done using One Time Password (OTP) principle. The OTP principle emphasizes that each time the user tries to log on, the algorithm produces pseudorandom output, thus improving the security. The result shows that the proposed algorithm capable of finding over 90 % of the faces in database and allows their voter to vote in approximately 58 seconds.
