The Problem And Its Scope

INTRODUCTION
The online voting method provides a platform for the voter to select their preferred candidate for
government and make that choice known. The public's confidence in the online voting procedure is crucial.
Online voting systems are built on top of internet registration systems and other online services. This
technique allows registered and enrolled students to cast their votes online. All voter names and full
information will be preserved in a database maintained by the organization in charge of elections. The
electronic tabulation introduces a novel voting mechanism in which each candidate's symbol is manually
noted before being electronically tabulated. Punch card, mark sense, and digital pen voting systems are the
three current variations of electronic voting systems.
Online voting processes may only be made trustworthy if they adhere to strict security standards for
secrecy, confidentiality, and honesty. Secrecy and confidentiality imply that all voters cast thoughtful,
private ballots for their preferred electorates and that all voters are aware of their preferred elector.
Electronic voting systems are more accurate, convenient, flexible, private, verifiable, mobile, and time-
consuming than traditional voting methods, and they also offer several characteristics that are different from
old voting techniques. The System is capable of overcoming these disadvantages. Any voter may use their
right to vote under this system from anywhere in the nation. Voters can securely cast their ballots from
anywhere in the nation without physically going to a polling place. This makes voting brave in the face of
violence and raises the turnout rate.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Elections are a critical process in democratic systems, and the application of information
technologies to their management is a significant step toward realizing effectiveness and efficiency not only
in the results of the election process itself, but also in the financial implications that the process brings. One
basic feature of students unionism is the right to choose their leaders through the voting process, and one
basic feature of democracy that cuts across all divisions of people is the act of voting. Democracy thus
encourages individual freedom according to the rule of law, so that people can behave and express
themselves as they see fit.
Research on the influence of the technology in schools today has not been given much attention, thus
the aim of this research is to assess the impact of online voting on the students' academic performance. This
study will also serve as a reference for researchers who are interested in conducting a study related to this
undertaking.
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
The development and introduction of new voting technologies generally is lacking serious evaluation
from social and form a scientific point of view. There is a need the functioning of voting technologies and
the effect on participation and outcomes of the democratic process theory that a developing technology will
have social consequence as social constructionist, we are interested in engaging the immediate users as well
as others who will be affected on online voting the aim of our research is to provide fundamental and
applied knowledge about the effects on online voting to improve social choice.
According to Petitpas (2021), using online voting tools and election voting systems to collect your
group's input in a methodical and verifiable way can assist you in making crucial decisions. A software
platform called an online voting system enables organizations to conduct votes and elections in a secure
manner. High-quality online voting systems strike a balance between voting event security, accessibility,
and other requirements.

Review Of Related Literature And Studies
This chapter includes ideas, opinions, research findings, generalizations, published or unpublished
theories and discussions on related literature and studies both foreign and local, which provides relevant
facts about the effects of mobile legends towards the academic performance of the students. That helps in
familiarizing information that is relevant and similar to the present study.
Online voting have become one of the most important aspect for students or teenagers and even
adults all around the globe. Allowing access to the virtual world with unlimited possibilities, online voting
compulsively attract many people. In fact, they have become an integral part of human society. In other
words, by providing virtual fun and entertaining environments (Demirbileka & lema Tamer, 2010), and
having characteristics such as being interesting and exciting, online voting create a sense of enjoyment of
learning. They not only have become one of the most significant recreations for all age groups, but also they
have potentials to be used for educational purposes as a new strategy (Prensky, 2003; Tuzaun & et al., 2009;
Grimley & et al., 2011). Therefore, online voting can no longer be seen as mere entertainment tools. Today
the effects of voting online are emphasized more than ever. As technology have become a tool to
communicate, teach, and influence attitudes and behavior, numerous studies have suggested that they have
effects on achievement as well as creating interest and commitment in learning (Tuzaun & et al., 2009; Kim,
Park, & baek, 2009).
Online voting has emerged as a popular and successful source of entertainment, especially for the
students. It refers to the votes that are used over some forms of computer websites, typically on the internet.
These platform are online, in which you can vote in just one tap of your fingers, by using your smartphones.
It is normally platform independent, relying on the web browser and appropriate plug-in. Studies of
Abdolkhaleghi et al. (2006); Ramezankhani et al. (2008); Roe and Muijs (2000); and Russell (2006) also
showed that rate of voting online has negative correlation with student achievement; while other research
(Durkin and Barber, 2002) showed that there is no negative relationship between online voting and
educational attainment. They found that online voting physically impacts the active participation of the
students because the student is too involved in the said voting to do votes or prepare academically. There are
also others that have found decreased the performance in relation to involvement in voting online. Anderson
and Dill (2007) studied voting online and aggression and suggested that not only does voting have an impact
on performance directly, but it also triggers a higher level of aggression, which is often linked to problems in
school and decreased the participation of the students.

grade 12 humms students in medina college Ipil Inc. The researchers used correlational design under
quantitative method of research to determine the relationship between mobile phones to the active
participation of the students. Purposive Sampling Technique used to select the respondents of the study since
it only focuses to the students who are inclined in online voting, a total of ninety (90) students are the
respondents of the said study. Researchers used questionnaires as an instrument to gathered necessary data
for this study.

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

The study was conducted to determine the effects of online voting towards the active participation of the
selected students and its relationship. After the data were tabulated, analysed and interpreted the following
findings emerged.
1. Demographic profiles of the respondents in terms of:
1.1 Age. The research had a total respondent of 60. Majority of the respondents (65%) of 16 years
old and the least (45%) or 17 years old – 18 years old.
1.2 Sex. Out of 60 respondents, majority of the respondents (75%) or 15 are male and the least 25%
or 5 are female.
1.3 Year Level. Majority of the respondents (100%) are Grade 12 students.
2. What are the effects of online voting towards the active participation of the students?
As a whole it revealed that the respondents are “Don’t Agree” on the online voting by the total
weighted mean of 3.86. “Not everyone can afford cell phones just to vote” was the major effect of online
voting.

3. Is there significant relationship between voting online and the active participation of students?
 Pearson, Correlation and Coefficient r was used to determine the significant relationships between
the Age, Sex, Year Level, and the difficulty of voting online of the respondents.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the above-mentioned findings, the researchers conclude the following:
In terms of significant relationship, it reveals that there’s no significant relationship. Thus, the
hypothesis is accepted that there is no significant relationship between respondent’s demographic profile and
the active participation of students.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings and conclusions, the researchers hereby present the following recommendations:
1. The researcher recommend for follow-up research could include the Psychological and Sociological
effects of online voting towards the active participation of grade 12 Humms students.
