0 Introduction
In order to solve the problem of student covering the distance from their
hostels, classrooms etc. to the polling booth and wasting quality study time
on queue during student election the technology of Remote (e-Voting)
system comes into existence. Remote electronic voting system make the
casting and counting of votes more convenient and efficient, even making
the electoral procedures simple and reduces the mistake of ballot
examination.
The result of this project is aimed at eliminating time wasting and stress
which is associated with voting process and problems associated with
voting such as violent behaviour and harassments of student at the polling
booth
Student on campus has the dream to achieve good academic success and they
understand quite well that this will be possible on how they manage their time.
Majority of the student will find it difficult to give away some of their time to
visit the polling booth, waiting on queue to cast their vote during the Lagos
State University Student Election and majority of them will prefer not to
involve themselves in the election.
The paper proposed by Suwamaru (2014) mentioned “that the use of mobile
phones as cost effective and secure voting medium through the use of short
message service”. With the use of mobile phones at election it is glaring that the
use of ballot papers, ballot boxes etc. will be eliminated and not only that the
number of workers needed will dramatically reduce therefore increasing cost
effectiveness. It is also secure as it has been stated by him in the sense that
voters can now vote from his/her privacy. Mobile phone offers student
opportunity to vote from the privacy of their hostels without fear of being
harassed.
Student with disabilities will also find it difficult to go through the stress of
leaving their hostel to the polling booth. Report and experience of harassments
during the Tasued election.
1. Student with some disability who would have loved to participate in the
TASUEDSU election will find it very difficult to cast their vote.
2. Student who were unable to visit the polling booth for some reasons will
decrease turn-up of voters during the election
“in democratic society, voting is used to collect and reflect peoples opinion and
making a trusted and accepted committee of representatives for successfully
running of the country” (Abhishek et al. 2010). Democracy is defined as a
political system ruled by the people either directly or through elected
representative. Commonness way to get an elected representative is through
election (the people deciding a representative through voting). Nigeria as a
country is a democratic nation hence this is the kind of government expected to
be practiced in TASUED. Tai Solarin University of Education Student Union
election should be democratic in nature since the institution is conceived by
Nigeria.
The model in use is called the iterative waterfall model while the proposed
system designed used is the Jacobson methodologies. Jacobson methodologies
(Object Oriented Software Engineering) OOSE cover the Entire life cycle and
stress trace ability between the different phases, both forward and backward. It
makes use of case diagrams; these diagrams are used to understanding system
requirement.
The Use case Description contains how and when the use case begins and ends,
the interaction between the use case and its actors, how and when the use case
will need data stored in the system or will store data in the system, exception to
the flow of events, how and when concepts of the problem domain are handled.
By using the use case model, we will find the External users, External users are
the users who interacts with system in order to exercise their voting task. Every
single use case should describe one main flow of events. An exceptional
additional flow of events could be added.
The following are the diagrams in Jacobson methodology:

4.0EXPECTED RESULT
The voter will interact with the database through the online of his/her mobile
phone.
During the Election Day, registered student will receive a text message
containing a secret code from the database server.
The secret code will be required when the voter is sending his/her votes for
validation purpose. After the voters has sent his/her vote to the database server.
The database server will send a confirmation message to voter that their vote
has been received and counted or not eligible if the particular student has voted
before.
At the end of the Election Day the result of the election and the winner will be
sent to student through SMS or over the voting platform.
5.0 CONCLUSION
During the implementation of this system current system and electronic remote
e-voting system was compared and the results indicate that the remote e-voting
system has greater advantage.
