ABSTRACT

The word “vote” means to choose from a list, to elect or to determine. The main goal of voting (in a scenario involving the citizens of a given country) is to come up with leaders of the people’s choice.

Most countries, Kenya not an exception have problems when it comes to voting. Some of the problems involved include ridging votes during election, insecure or inaccessible polling stations, inadequate polling materials and also inexperienced personnel.

This online voting/polling system seeks to address the above issues. It should be noted that with this system in place, the users, citizens in this case shall be given ample time during the voting period. They shall also be trained on how to vote online before the election time.

1. INTRODUCTION

“ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM” is an online voting technique. In this system people who have

citizenship of Kenya and whose age is above 18 years of age and any sex can give his\her vote

online without going to any physical polling station. There is a database which is maintained in

which all the names of voters with complete information is stored.

In “ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM” a voter can use his\her voting right online without any

difficulty. He\She has to be registered first for him/her to vote. Registration is mainly done by

the system administrator for security reasons. The system Administrator registers the voters on a

special site of the system visited by him only by simply filling a registration form to register

voter. Citizens seeking registration are expected to contact the system administrator to submit

their details. After the validity of them being citizens of India has been confirmed by the system

administrator by comparing their details submitted with those in existing databases such as those

as the Registrar of Persons, the citizen is then registered as a voter.

After registration, the voter is assigned a secret Voter ID with which he/she can use to log into the system and enjoy services provided by the system such as voting. If invalid/wrong details are submitted, then the citizen is not registered to vote.

2. REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

• Registration of the voter is done by ELECTION COMMISION OF INDIA.

• ELECTION COMMISION OF INDIA can change the information any time if required.

• Registration of the Voter depends upon the information filled by the user.

• Voter is given a unique ID and PASSWORD.

• In the DATABASE information of every voter is stored.

• Database shows the information of every user.

2.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:

• MYSQL DBMS-it allows combination, extraction, manipulation and organization of

data in the voters’ database. It is platform independent and therefore can be implemented

and used across several such as Windows, Linux server and is compatible with various

hardware mainframes. It is fast in performance, stable and provides business value at a

low cost.

• HTML -Hypertext Markup Language-This is currently the core of the web world, it is

a language used to makeup web page. It is the glue that holds everything together.

Although HTLM was used for the implementation of the OVS, it is highly compatible

with eXtensible HTML (XHTML) which is designed to be a replacement of HTML made

to handle data and is also portable between different browsers and platforms with little or

no alterations in code. Macromedia Dreamweaver is a prefer tool for designing HTML

pages and that is the tool used in coming up with this OVS system.

• PHP coding-This is for advanced user who find PHP codes easy to work with.

• Testing is done via WAMPSERVER.

• Web browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Google chrome, Opera and Internet Explorer

8

• Reporting Tool i.e. through Data Report.

2.2 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7 Professional:

• Processor: 800MHz Intel Pentium III or equivalent

• Memory: 512 MB

• Disk space: 750 MB of free disk space

Use case Diagram is a collection of use cases, actors and relationships that exists between them.

Use-case diagrams graphically depict system behavior (use cases).

These diagrams present a high level view of how the system is used as viewed from an outsider’s (actor’s) perspective.

A use-case diagram may depict all or some of the use cases of a system.

7. TESTING

Traditional software testing procedures were used for the web-based OVS where testing took

place throughout the development process.

Before the system is distributed, it will have to be thoroughly tested.

Testing will need to be carried out in erroneous conditions, e.g. the mobile phone is not in

range of a server, the database back-end is unavailable or there are no questions stored in the

database.

8. CONCLUSION

21

The main aspect behind ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM is that it enabled us to bring out the new

ideas that were sustained within us for many for many days. This project offers the voters to cast

easily through internet. Vote counting is also made easy by the ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM

since it’s just a matter of querying the database. ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM is used by a

number of countries today. Developing a good system is critical to the success of the system to

prevent system failures and to gain wide acceptance as the best method available. A good

ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM system requires ten characteristics which this system already has.

These are:

Accuracy Convenience Reliability

Verifiabilit

y

Flexibility Consistency

Democracy Mobility Social Acceptance

Privacy

In analyzing, designing, implementing, and maintaining standards, we considered these

characteristics as the foundation. These standards were made national. OVS will be an

inexpensive, and less time consuming method once a system exhibiting national standards and

the above mentioned characteristics is implemented.
