Nigeria as a democratic nation in Africa uses conventional paper ballot election system for more than two decades now. Enquiry with proof shows that this conventional election system has lost popularity among the people as it has drawbacks, which call for replacement. Therefore, this paper aims in introducing Biometric electronic voting system, its step-by-step operation, and define a set of requirement to achieve the operation, which are better than conventional paper ballot system in terms of accuracy, security wise, and authentication.
