INTRODUCTION:

Online voting systems are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and
accessibility. Traditional voting methods often require physical presence at polling stations,
which can be inconvenient for voters, especially those with mobility issues or living in remote
areas. Online voting systems aim to overcome these challenges by allowing voters to cast
their votes remotely using electronic devices such as computers or smartphones.

The project "Online Voting System" aims to develop a secure and user-friendly platform for
conducting elections online. This system will allow eligible voters to cast their votes from
anywhere, provided they have an internet connection. The project focuses on ensuring the
integrity and confidentiality of the voting process while maintaining a user-friendly interface
for voters.

Overview of Online Voting:

Online voting, also known as e-voting, is a voting process that allows voters to cast their
ballots electronically. This can be done through the internet, using a computer or mobile
device, or through a telephone voting system. Online voting systems are designed to
streamline the voting process, increase voter turnout, and reduce the costs associated with
traditional paper-based voting methods.

Importance and Need for Online Voting Systems:

The traditional paper-based voting system has several limitations, including long queues at
polling stations, logistical challenges in remote areas, and the potential for human error in
vote counting. Online voting systems offer a solution to these challenges by providing a
convenient and secure way for voters to cast their votes from anywhere.

Scope and Objectives of the Project:

The scope of the project includes designing and implementing a secure online voting platform
that meets the requirements of a modern voting system. The objectives of the project are to:

- Develop a user-friendly interface for voters to cast their votes online.

- Implement security measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the voting
process.
- Ensure the system is scalable and can accommodate a large number of voters.
- Provide a reliable and efficient system for tallying and counting votes.
- Conduct thorough testing and evaluation to ensure the system meets the requirements of a
secure online voting platform.

In conclusion, the Online Voting System project aims to revolutionize the way elections are
conducted by providing a secure, convenient, and accessible platform for voters to exercise
their democratic right to vote.

ABSTRACT:

The Online Voting System project aims to revolutionize the traditional voting process by
providing a secure, convenient, and accessible platform for voters to cast their votes
electronically. This system allows eligible voters to vote remotely using their computers or
smartphones, eliminating the need to physically visit polling stations. The project focuses on
ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of the voting process while maintaining a user-
friendly interface for voters.

Key features of the Online Voting System include:

- User authentication and registration to verify the identity of voters.

- Ballot generation and distribution based on voter eligibility and location.
- Secure transmission of votes over the internet to prevent tampering.
- Tallying and counting of votes in a transparent and efficient manner.
- Provision for auditing and verification of election results.

The project's objectives are to develop a user-friendly interface, implement robust security
measures, ensure scalability, and conduct thorough testing and evaluation. The Online Voting
System project aims to enhance the democratic process by providing a modern and reliable
voting platform.

2. Overall Description:

2.1 Product Perspective:

The Online Voting System will be a standalone application that interacts with users through a web
interface. It will be hosted on a web server and accessed by users through a web browser. The
system will be developed using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a server-side
language (e.g., PHP, Python).

2.2 Product Features:

- User registration and authentication
- Ballot generation and distribution
- Secure transmission of votes using SSL
- Tallying and counting of votes
- Auditing and verification of election results

2.3 User Classes and Characteristics:

The system will have two main user classes:
- Voters: Eligible individuals who will cast their votes using the system.
- Administrators: Election officials responsible for managing the voting process.

3. Specific Requirements:

3.1 External Interface Requirements

3.1.1 User Interfaces
The system will have a user-friendly web interface that allows voters to cast their votes and
administrators to manage the voting process.

Design:

1. Architectural Design:

1.1 Overview
The Online Voting System will be designed using a client-server architecture. The client-side
will consist of web browsers that users will use to access the system, while the server-side
will consist of web servers that host the application and handle the business logic and data
processing.

1.2 Components
- Client-side: Web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.)
- Server-side: Web server (Apache, Nginx), Application server (Node.js, PHP), Database
server (MySQL, PostgreSQL)

1.3 Communication
Communication between the client and server will be facilitated using the HTTP protocol.
Secure communication will be ensured using SSL/TLS.

2. Database Design:

2.1 Database Schema

The database will consist of the following tables:
- Users: Stores information about registered users (voters, administrators).
- Candidates: Stores information about candidates in the election.
- Ballots: Stores information about generated ballots for each voter.
- Votes: Stores information about votes cast by users.
- Audit Logs: Stores information about system activities for auditing purposes.

2.2 Relationships
- Users to Ballots: One-to-One
- Users to Votes: One-to-Many
- Candidates to Votes: One-to-Many

3. User Interface Design:

3.1 Voter Interface

The voter interface will include the following pages:
- Registration Page: Allows users to register as voters.
- Login Page: Allows registered users to log in to the system.
- Ballot Page: Displays the ballot for the user to cast their vote.
- Confirmation Page: Displays a confirmation message after the vote is cast.

3.2 Administrator Interface

The administrator interface will include the following pages:
- Login Page: Allows administrators to log in to the system.
- Dashboard: Provides an overview of the election process.
- Candidate Management: Allows administrators to add, edit, or remove candidates.
- Audit Log Viewer: Allows administrators to view system activity logs for auditing
purposes.

7
4. Security Design:

4.1 Authentication
User authentication will be implemented using a username-password combination. Two-
factor authentication may also be implemented for added security.

4.2 Data Encryption

All data transmitted between the client and server will be encrypted using SSL/TLS to
prevent eavesdropping.

4.3 Access Control

Access to different parts of the system will be controlled based on user roles (voter,
administrator) to prevent unauthorized access.

CONCLUSION:

In this project, we have developed an Online Voting System that aims to revolutionize the
traditional voting process by providing a secure, convenient, and accessible platform for
voters to cast their votes electronically. The system includes features such as user
registration, ballot generation, secure transmission of votes, and tallying of votes, all of
which are designed to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the voting process.

The key difference between our system and existing systems lies in its accessibility and
security features. Our system allows eligible voters to cast their votes remotely using the
internet, eliminating the need to physically visit polling stations. This not only makes the
voting process more convenient for voters but also increases voter turnout. Additionally,
our system implements strong authentication mechanisms and data encryption to ensure
the security and integrity of the voting process, addressing concerns about tampering and
fraud that are often associated with traditional paper-based voting methods.

Overall, the Online Voting System developed in this project represents a significant
advancement in the field of election technology, offering a modern and reliable voting
platform that meets the highest standards of security and accessibility.

• E-voting: Electronic voting, also known as e-voting, is a voting process that allows voters to cast
their ballots electronically, typically over the internet.
• SSL/TLS: Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are protocols that
provide secure communication over a computer network, such as the internet.
• HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative,
hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication on the World
Wide Web.
• GUI: Graphical User Interface is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with
electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators.
• SQL: Structured Query Language is a domain-specific language used in programming and
designed for managing data held in a relational database management system.
• PHP: PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web
development. It is often used to create dynamic web pages.
• Node.js: Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment that
executes JavaScript code outside a web browser.
• MySQL: MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) based
on Structured Query Language (SQL).
• PostgreSQL: PostgreSQL, also known as Postgres, is a free and open-source relational database
management system emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.
• Selenium: Selenium is a portable framework for testing web applications. Selenium provides a
playback tool for authoring functional tests without the need to learn a test scripting language.
• JUnit: JUnit is a unit testing framework for the Java programming language. JUnit has been
important in the development of test-driven development and is one of a family of unit testing
frameworks.
• Apache JMeter: Apache JMeter is an open-source software designed to load test functional
behavior and measure performance. It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server,
network, or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load
types.
