Frequently Asked Questions
How is face recognition used in elections?
Face recognition verifies voter identity at polling booths by matching a voter's face against their enrolled photo in the electoral database. This prevents impersonation, bogus voting, and duplicate voting - ensuring one person, one vote.
Can face recognition for elections work offline?
Yes. FaceTagr's election solution (SvaDESH) works entirely offline on commodity Android devices. The voter database is loaded locally, and all matching happens on-device. No internet is needed at the polling booth. Results sync to the central system after voting concludes.
Has face recognition been used in real elections?
Yes. FaceTagr was deployed across 4,000+ booths in Bihar panchayat elections, verifying 5M+ voters. The system ran on standard Android phones in areas with no internet connectivity.
What hardware is needed for election face recognition?
Any commodity Android phone with 1GB+ RAM and a front camera. No specialized biometric terminals or expensive hardware. Election workers use the same phones they carry daily.
