For a developing country like India, maintaining an efficient administration within affordable budget is a big challenge. The application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based E-Governance can facilitate the administration in much efficient and cost effective manner compared to the traditional method of administration. Since an efficient administration is dependent on the collection of opinion of its participants (i.e the voters), flawless voting mechanism becomes the primary pillar of governance. But in the present days of busyness, many people stay away from their voting constituency due to various compulsions, thereby giving rise to number of uncast votes to a significant level. In order to solve this problem, in this paper authors have extended the concept of multifaceted smart card oriented E-Governance system to propose bio-metric authentication based E-Voting system, where Bluetooth fingerprint scanner will be paired with the voter’s smart phone to implement the proposed concept. This propose system will use a mobile application to input user identification number using the Multipurpose Electronic Card (MEC) based E-Governance system. In case of successful authentication, the voter will be allowed to caste the original vote, else it will be barred. Hence, this approach will prevent the malicious tendency of proxy voting using advanced authentication system. Since this proposed E-Voting system have to handle huge data traffic during its implementation, its database should be designed at first to reduce data redundancy and inconsistency as much as possible. Hence, in this paper, authors have designed its database system using Data Flow Diagram (DFD), Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) to demonstrate the relationship between its primary entities and tables.
