Abstract:
The process of efficient voting is a vital component in the proper functioning of our increasinglymodernized
society. The traditional way of conducting a voting process is not only timeconsuming,
but also prone to security issues and election rigging, as well as being outdated and
wasteful. For this purpose, Electronic Voting Machine or EVM was introduced which addressed
some of the issues while having limitations of its own, such as its scope of application and its
inherent limitation of being a mere electronic device, prone to malfunction and other mechanical
issues[1]. Hence, there is a need for a system that would build upon that concept as well as being
more compact, elegant and cost-effective, while at the same time capable of catering to a broader
range of populace, all at the same time maintaining fairness and impartiality throughout. The
Android-Based Smart Voting System that we propose will simplify the voting process by
considerably reducing the steps for voting and increasing overall throughput, keeping interaction
between voters and the system easy and understandable, as well as eliminating unnecessary and
costly hardware that have no overall impact on the final outcome, thus providing for a smarter
and more feasible solution.
