1.0 INTRODUCTION
The need for a good voting system for students is necessary because for a year, the elected
leaders act as a bridge that connects the student body and the management or the
administration of a particular school whereby, they communicate to the management on
behalf of their fellow students and they communicate to the students on behalf of the
management at times. In an age where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, the
need for efficient and secure processes extends to our educational institutions. As stated by
Miller and Zeng, “Digital voting systems enhance student participation by providing a
convenient and accessible platform for students to cast their votes. The LACASU(Laws
Campus Student Union) online voting system is a system that will empower students to
exercise their right to vote conveniently and securely from anywhere. Studies have shown
that individuals who vote in their first election are more likely to continue voting throughout
their lives (Campbell, Green, and Monson, 2010).
The main objective of the project is to develop an online voting system that will be more
accessible, efficient, and secure allowing students to cast votes online and ensuring students
that their opinions are heard and counted accurately.

The implementation of an online student voting system offers numerous advantages,
including increased accessibility, efficiency, and accuracy in the voting process. This system

long queues to cast a vote and they are not restricted by a given location.
