Electronic voting system
Abstract
Using the decade old election system to collect votes from the citizens is no
longer considered efficient due to the various recurring errors. So time has
arrived that the paper based primordial voting system which has already
proven itself an inefficient and slow procedure is changed immediately. The
system that is being followed currently, from data collection procedure to
counting of the votes is a manual process. Here we are proposing an
automated electronic voting system. It starts with automated registration
system that will provide the secured database of the voters’ information.
Voter details will be stored against their finger prints in the main database.
The election commission authority is authorized to access the details but
they aren’t authorized for modifying or changing the details. Modification of
the voters’ information requires the fingerprint of the particular voter. So
the system will help to minimize the corruption done by others, and hopefully
corruption may be diminished at some point of time. In this system Voter will
select his/her preferable candidate by providing his or her opinion on a
touch screen where all candidates’ voting sign is displayed. Four layered
network system will be used here for sending the votes from client to the
main database there are three application server, and a client. Among them
one application server will work as dispatcher. The encrypted votes will be
sent from the client to the dispatcher through an application server and this
layer will send those votes to main database through another application
server. They will be counted there automatically which will take lesser time
than the manual system. So the result will be faster, more accurate and
reliable.
