| Summary: | This paper addresses the vital importance of fair and transparent elections as the
foundation of a robust democracy, crucial for representing citizens' voices and fostering trust
in the electoral process. In Bangladesh, the pursuit of fair elections faces significant
challenges, including transparency issues, accountability concerns, and instances of voter
fraud. This analysis presents a novel approach that combines Quranic principles with
biometric voting technology to address the challenges faced by the current voting system.
Taking inspiration from Islamic values, particularly those that emphasize justice, equality,
and accountability, the proposed framework intends to improve the democratic aspect of evoting
in Bangladesh. By incorporating biometric authentication mechanisms, such as
fingerprint or iris scanning, this framework seeks to ensure the integrity of the voting process
while adhering to Quranic and Prophetic principles of fairness and transparency. This study
explores the feasibility and implications of implementing such a system within Bangladesh's
electoral landscape through a multidisciplinary approach that bridges Islamic scholarship,
technological innovation, and political theory. By leveraging the potential of biometric voting
technology guided by Quranic principles, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse
on electoral reform and democratization in Bangladesh, offering valuable insights into how
technology and ethical considerations can intersect to strengthen democratic governance. |
