Objective:

The objective of the project is to develop a system through which the government and authorities can conduct online polling. The purpose of the system is to replicate the processes of manual voting system as a software system. The system can be augmented to the present manual ballot system.

Existing system:

The present system is a manual system with traditional ways of conducting the polls. The system is fraught with laborious mechanisms right from announcement of polls and until the results are announced. Voters need to approach the concerned authorities for getting their voter ID card. Then on the polling day, voters need to travel to the polling booth to cast their vote. Fraudulent activities are difficult to prevent. Candidates can influence voters. Safeguarding the ballot boxes is tedious. Efforts of police, polling officers and government machinery are needed.

Proposed system:

The proposed system is a web based system, which provides all features and functions necessary to conduct online polls.

Users of the system:

General Public
Candidates
Administrators (Election Commission Officers)
Field Officers
