Abstract:

On-line Voting System is a web based

system that facilitates the running of elections and

surveys online. Users are individuals who interact

with the system. All user interaction is performed

remotely through the user's web browser. Users

are provided with a online registration form

before voting user should fill online form and

submit details these details are compared with

details in database and if they match then user is

provided with username and password using this

information user can login and vote. If conditions

are not correct entry will be canceled.

It contains

two level of user’s administrator level and voter

level where each level has different functionality.

challenges.

The use of insecure Internet, well documented cases of incorrect implementations and
the resulting security Breaches have been reported recently. These challenges and
concerns have to be resolved in order to create public trust in online voting.

B. Problem Statement

Online Voting System provides the online registration form for the users before
voting and makes the users to cast their vote online. The system is to be developed
with high security and user friendly.

C. Research Objective
The main objective of this study is an important step towards streamlining this effort
is to develop a framework and identify necessary properties that a secure and trusted
online voting system must satisfy to reduce discovery redundancy. Such a framework
will allow us to evaluate as well as compare the merits of existing and future
candidate online voting schemes. System should support multi-user environment.
System should be fully automated. System should provide concrete security features
like creating users and assigning privileges to users of the system. System should be
capable to keep track of all the detailed descriptions of the client and the whole details
of services offered by the client organization.

V arious outputs (reports) should be available online any time. System should be able
to handle extremely large volumes of data (i.e. large database support).

D. Scope of Study

The scope of the project is that it will use the ID and password created by user to
register him/her in the voting site, through this all the details of voter are saved in
database.

I. INTRODUCTION

The aim of electronic voting schemes is to provide a set of protocols that allow voters
to cast ballots while a group of authorities collect votes and output the final tally.
Problems with voting machines extend from the quality of the locks, to the need for a
printed audit trail, to the hacking of the communication links. Although voting makes
many people to believe that voting is the perfect application for technology, but in
reality applying it is hard. For a voting system to be ideal, four attributes must be
satisfied: anonymity, scalability, speed, and accuracy.

A. Problem Background

In the recent years there are many literature on online voting has been developed.
While online voting has been an active area of research in the recent years, efforts to
develop real-world solutions have just begun posing several new

Advanced technology: It is an advanced technology used now a day. It increases the

internet knowledge of the users which is very necessary for current generation.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

A. Background

This software is being developed for use by everyone with a simple and self
explanatory GUI. This is software that can be used by people to vote in an election.
All the user must do is login and click on his favourable candidates to register his
vote. The development and testing is done on Ethernet. While online voting system
has been an active area of research in recent years, the use of insecure Internet, well
documented cases of incorrect implementations reported recently. These challenges
are to be resolved so that public should cast their vote in secure and convenient way.
Proposed online voting system is a voting system by which any Voter can use his/her
voting rights from anywhere in country. Online voting system contains:

1. a) Voter’s information in database.

2. b) Voter’s Names with ID and password.
3. c) Voter’s vote in a database.
4. d) Calculation of total number of votes.

Various operational works proposed in the system are: Recording information of the
Voter in database. Checking of information filled by voter. Discard the false
information. Each information is sent to election commission.

B. Existing System

Remote voting is exercise into two different ways. Proxy voting: The person who is
unable to be physically present authorized other person on behalf of him Close
envelope ballet: In this the person cast is voter, enclosed in an envelope and post to
register post. The problem with this system is that not always the ballets are riched in
time. The proxy person may exercise other ballet then the one synthesised the person.

C. Proposed System

In propose system remote and user’s can exercise.

In the proposed system we can get the result without manually counting. The
computerized counting is simple.

D. Product Functions
The product has a server back-end which takes care of authenticating the users and
maintaining necessary data structures.

E. Overview of Data Requirements

The internal memory requirement will be constant or linearly dependent on the

number of users depending on the provision of changing the vote at a later time. The
external data about the candidates (with photographs) and the posts or the poll
questions and the answers will be given as input only at the server end.

F . Constraints

Login and password is used for identification of Voter.

III. SALIENT FEATURE

Online voting is software system through which a voter can give votes through
registering themselves on the voting website. all the information in sites which has
been entered are stored in database for each page in the website have its own database
table. It deals with design, build and test a online voting system that facilitates user
(the person who is eligible for voting), candidate (Candidate are the users who are
going to stand in elections for their respective party), Election Commission Officer
(Election Commission Officer who will verify whether registered user and candidates
are authentic or not) to participate in online voting. This online voting system is
highly secured, and it’s design is very simple, ease of use and also reliable.

A. Home

It is the welcome page of the website, having all the feature options of the website.

B. Registration

This is the register page, where the voter,

voting booth and additionally registering himself/herself for voting in advance, proxy
vote or double voting is not possible, fast to access, highly secure, easy to maintain all
information of voting, highly efficient and flexible.
The using of online voting has the capability to reduce or remove unwanted human
errors. In addition to its reliability, online voting can handle multiple modalities, and
provide better scalability for large elections.
