 Android Voting System
Abstract :

The android voting system is an android application that provides a new technique of
casting votes using mobile phones. This application is especially developed for
organizations, corporations and commercial businesses to get employees opinions
whenever there is any new policy implemented or any issue being investigated or during
controversies. The project provides an effective solution in resolving all the arguments that
occurs in organizations by considering all employees opinions.
Introduction:

The system has an admin login that has overall control over it. Admin feed the issues or arguments in the
system along with desired options. These questions can then be visible to all the employees through
android devices. Employees have to first create an account into the system for casting their votes. At the
end of the voting process the system counts all the votes casted and generates a brief report of the total
votes accounted for yes, no and neutral. Eventually, the report is made available to admin and he may
view the maximum votes casted for. Hence the system helps admin to receive appropriate response from
employees for the matters in question.

Existing System
1- In existing system, if you wish to vote for someone, then you have to go to the destination where
the voting procedure is going on and then only you can vote for him or her.
2- Existing system does not provide people the way in which they can get the details about the
nominees as well. They can’t get to know the history of the people for whom they are standing in
queue for giving their votes.
3- The problems of the existing manual system of voting include among others the following:
 Expensive and Time Consuming
 Too Much Paper Work
 Errors during data Entry
 Loss of registration forms

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION

1- Provision of improved voting services to voter through fast and convenient voting.
2- Reduction of the cost incurred by the organization during voting time in paying the very many
clerks employed for the sake of success of the manual system.
3- Check to ensure that the members who are registered are the only ones who should vote.
4- reinforce its transparency and fairness.
5- Increased turnout of Votes.

Proposed System

1- Proposed system is highly automated and greatly technical In this system, not even you can vote
via sitting at your own place but also you can learn about laws and regulations
related to voting.
2- Also not only this but you can access the profile of the nominees through which you can learn
about their history, their education, and their personal details and so on.
3- Using this online voting android based project, end users do not faces any difficulties as because
they don’t have to make registration before submitting their answers.

Overview of the System

1- The Android voting system is an application which is a new process of casting votes from any
place and at any time.
2- The proposed system is a flexible means of casting the votes irrespective of the place and time
of the day.
3- This technique is best suited for the modern day organizations where the management can get the
opinion of the employees regarding introduction of new policies or rules by taking votes through
this system.
4- So there are less chances of multiple voting by single voter and hence less chances of
manipulation in this system of voting.
5- The android voting system is an android application that phones.
6- This application is especially developed for organizations, corporations and commercial
businesses to get employees opinions whenever there is any new policy implemented or
any issue being investigated or during controversies. The project provides an effective solution
in resolving all the arguments that occurs in organizations by considering all employees opinions.

Advantages:
 The system can be used anytime and from anywhere by the employees.
 It excludes the use of manual voting process.
 Employees can keep themselves updated with all things going on in the organization.
 No one can cast votes on behalf of others and multiple times.
 Saves time and reduces human intervention.
 It makes employees happy as their opinions are considered for the matters in organization.
 Admin can get instant result.
 The system is flexible and secured to be used.

Disadvantages:
 Every Voter must have an android device for casting the vote.
 It requires a reasonable degree of literacy and numeracy to be used effectively
 Vulnerability to hacking
 Voter verified All fully-electronic (touch screen, internet) voting systems are subject to the
limitations and risks of computer technology.
 This includes the inability to detect the presence of hardware and/or software that could be used,
deliberately or inadvertently, to alter voting outcomes.

Modules of the System

Voter Module:
In this module, user who is going to give his or her vote have
to make his or her account in order to get access to the voting
system and into the modules which contains details about the Vote.
Admin Module:
Admin checks the data and the valid voter. Admin also gives the
result once the Voting is conducted. Only Admin is authorized
to check the Result.
Voting Module:
In this module, all the process related to voting and votes are given into this module. Voters can access
to this module via their personal account only.

 System Requirement Analysis

Functional Requirements

 The system will be able to allow the Voters to create an account.

 Allow registered users to login to the system.
 The system should authenticate users during login.
i.e the user should be what he/she claims to be.
 The system should allow an authenticated user to cast a vote.
 The system should send voting results to Voters.
 The system should allow the administrator (voting officer) to Manage Voters .

Non-Functional Requirements

 System will support response time for addressing severe issues in less time.
 system will provide documentation to inform users of system functionality and any change to the
system .
 system will provide friendly graphical Interface to ensure ease of use when end users utilize
system functionality.(Usability) .
 The system will be able to be integrated in future if need be .
 The application will be available all the time for Voters on Google play to download .

Use Case Diagram

 Use case diagrams are usually referred to as behavior diagrams used to describe a set of actions
(use cases) that some system or systems (subject) should or can perform in collaboration with one
or more external users of the system (actor)
 Each use case should provide some observable and valuable result to the actors or other
stakeholders of the system result .

 System Design
3.1 ERD : Entity Relationship Diagram
 An entity relationship diagram (ERD) shows the relationships of entity sets stored in a database.
An entity in this context is a component of data.
 In other words, ER diagrams illustrate the logical structure of databases.
 At first glance an entity relationship diagram looks very much like a flowchart. It is the specialized
symbols, and the meanings of those symbols, that make it unique.

Uses of entity relationship diagrams:

Database design: ER diagrams are used to model and design relational databases, in terms of logic and
business rules (in a logical data model) and in terms of the specific technology to be implemented (in a
physical data model.) In software engineering, an ER diagram is often an initial step in determining
requirements for an information systems project. It’s also later used to model a particular database or
databases. A relational database has an equivalent relational table and can potentially be expressed that
way as needed.

 Database troubleshooting:

ER diagrams are used to analyze existing databases to find and resolve problems in logic or
deployment. Drawing the diagram should reveal where it’s going wrong.

Database Diagram
1- The Database Designer is a visual tool that allows you to design and visualize a database to which
you are connected.
2- When designing a database, you can use Database Designer to create, edit, or delete tables,
columns, keys, indexes , relationships, and constraints.
3- To visualize a database, you can create one or more diagrams illustrating some or all of the tables,
columns, keys, and relationships in it.

 Application User Interface
User interface design is the overall design refers to human-computer interaction,
operational logic and stunning interface of the software. Good interface design can not
only make the application looks special, but also make the operations become more simple
and comfortable. It can fully display the positioning and elements of the ِ application.
Here are some basic Application user interface design principles that we should be aware
of.

Principle 1: Clarity:

Clarity is the most important Application user interface design principle, it means that
users can effectively use the interface

Principle 2: User-centered design:

Application UI designers should know about who is your target user and how to put
yourself in user’s shoes to consider about the design process. User is the one who will
experience your final product.

Principle 3: KISS (Keep It Simple And Stupid:)

KISS, which is the most basic Application user interface design principle. Users always
feel most comfortable when they can control something. User's habits and abilities have a
huge difference, they aren’t Application designers, and they cannot fully understand the
design principles and operations of the Application you have designed, what you do is to
reduce the burden on users, keep operations simple and stupid.

Principle 4: Consistency:

Consistency is the main principle of Application UI design. Consistent construction design

can leave a good impression on user’s mind; Consistent navigation design can guide users
to find their most needed information quickly and effectively;

Principle 5: Strong visual hierarchy:

Visual hierarchy is the key principle of Application user interface design and it can be
achieved when there is a clear viewing order to the visual elements on a screen.

 Conclusion
This is a simple visualization of the site's screens in the design, analysis and initial thinking of the
Application. Changes may be made to this design during the final implementation phase of the site. I hope
that my project will be on your satisfaction and God is the conciliator.
