Project Title: “ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM.”

Application Type: WebSite

Introduction:

Online Voting is a web-based voting system that will help you manage your elections
easily and securely. This voting system can be used for casting votes during the
elections held in colleges, etc. In this system the voter do not have to go to the polling
booth to cast their vote. They can use their personal computer to cast their votes.
There is a database which is maintained in which all the name of the voters with their
complete information is stored. The System Administrator registers the voters by
simply filling a registration form to register the voters. After registration, the voter is
assigned a secret voter ID with which he/she can use to login to the system and cast
his/her vote. If invalid/wrong details are submitted, then the person is not registered
to vote. After the user successfully registers them selve’s, a link is sent on their
respective E-mail IDs. The link is a key for the activation of the account of the user.
The account is activated only after the user clicks on that link. The site will be
activated only on the day of voting. Once the user logs in, they will be provided with a
One Time Password (OTP) which has to be entered by the user before casting his/her
vote. The password will be destroyed after casting of their respective vote. A receipt
of the vote will be sent to the user on their respective E-mail IDs. The advantage of
online voting is that the voters have the choice of voting at their own free time and
there is reduced congestion. It also minimizes on errors of vote counting. The
individual votes are submitted in a database which can be queried to find out who of
the aspirants for a given post has the highest number of votes.

Background and present state of the problem:

In every democratic setting with persons of differing and inconsistent opinions,

decisions must be made between several options. This happens in business
enironment, educational environment, social organizations, and mostly in
governance. One of the ways of making such a decision is through voting. Voting is a
formal process of expressing individual opinions for or against some
motion. In the governance sector of many orga-nization this process is always used
as a means of selecting or clecting a leader. One of the key areas where voting is

office or of accepting or rejecting a political proposition by voting.

Traditional voting system

 Inefficient

 Takes time and human resources

 Does not give an instant poll result

 Hard to track who voted and who don’t

Online voting System

 Instant result

 Easy to keep track of voters

 Use of Internet

Justification of the project:

The online voting system shall reduce the time spend making long queues at the polling
station during voting. It shall also enabol the voters to vote from any part of the globe as
explained since this is an online application available on the internet. Cases of vote
miscounts shall also be solved since at the backend of this system resides as well developed
database using MYSQL that can provide the correct data once its correctiy queried. Since
the voting process shall be open as early as possible, the voters shall have ample time to
decide when and whom to vote for.

Objectives with specific goals:

The aim of this project is to design and implement a low cost automated real-time O-voting
system.

Requirements & Environment Details:

 Software Requirements:
 Operating System: Windows 7,10,11
 Backend: MySQL server
 Browser: Chrome, Mozilla Firefox
 Hardware Requirement:
 Intel Pentium or and processors with speed minimum T4300,(2.10Ghz)
 Minimum 50MB hard disk
 Accelerated graphics card
 minimum 1GB hard disk
 Better performance
