Online Voting System
Problem Statement For The Project :
Develop an android application that provides a new technique of casting votes
using mobile phones
Introduction to the topic:
ANDROID BASED ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM is an online voting technique. In this system
people who have citizenship of India and whose age is above 18 years of age and any sex can
give his 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 ANDROID BASED ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM a voter can use his voting right online
without any difficulty. He has to be registered first for him 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.
In the traditional system there was a need to go on the voting booth and cast a vote. People
from distinct places who did not have their voting cards cannot cast their votes. Also
authentication of the user was not good and appropriate. There was a lot of paper work which
was very time consuming. The results needed to be calculated manually which was very time
consuming process.
Therefore the proposed system is developed to remove the efforts needed in the traditional
voting process. The proposed system has an application developed on android phone via which
the user can cast his vote from anywhere on the face of the globe. The user registers by giving
his personal details which gets stored in the database at the server side. After the voting date is
fixed the user gets notification on the android phone via GCM (Google Cloud Messaging).
After that the user opens the application. The finger print authentication is done and then the
system will allow user to get into home screen. Then user opens the voting form he casts his
vote and then click on submits button and then logout. On the server side we can check the
results. The GCM is which sends notification to user’s android phone. The sqlite is the local
database of the user’s phone. If his internet connection is off then the notification and other
details get stored on his local server. When he starts his internet connection then this message
are retrieved from the GCM that is the local database of the android phone.

Conclusion:
This Online Voting system will manage the Voters information by which voter can login and
use his voting rights. The system will incorporate all features of Voting system. It provides the
tools for maintaining voters vote to every party and it count total no. of votes of every party.
There is a DATABASE which is maintained by the ELECTION COMMISION OF INDIA in
which all the names of voter with complete information is stored.In this user who is above 18
years register his/her information on the database and when he/she want to vote he/she has to
login by his id and password and can vote to any party only single time. Voting detail store in
database and the result is displayed by calculation. By online voting system percentage of
voting is increases. It decreases the cost and time of voting process. It is very easy to use and
It is vary less time consuming. It is very easy to debug
