 ABSTRACT

It is an election system that allows voters to record a secret ballot

and have it tabulated electronically. Votes are stored so they can be
re-counted should the need arise.

Voting Management System can speed up election results and

lower the cost of conducting an election by significantly reducing
the number of people required to operate a polling place and
tabulate results. A primary concern with e-voting, however, is how
to store votes so they can be recounted if required.

“ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM” is an online voting technique. It is

based on the other online services like “ONLINE RESERVATION
SYSTEM” .In this system people who have citizenship of INDIA
and whose age is above 18 years of any sex can give his\her vote
online without going to any polling booth. There is a DATABASE
which is maintained by the ELECTION COMMISION OF INDIA in
which all the names of voter with complete information is stored.
In “ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM” a voter can use his\her voting
right online without any difficulty. He\She has to fill a registration
form to register himself\herself. All the entries is checked by the
DATABASE which has already all information about the voter. If all
the entries are correct then a USER ID and PASSWORD is given to
the voter, by using that ID and PASSWORD he\she can use his\her
vote. If conditions are wrong then that entry will be discarded.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION

2.1 Goals of proposed system

1. Planned approach towards working: - The working in the organization will be well planned
and organized. The data will be stored properly in data stores, which will help in retrieval of
information as well as its storage.
2. Accuracy: - The level of accuracy in the proposed system will be higher. All operation would
be done correctly and it ensures that whatever information is coming from the center is accurate.
3. Reliability: - The reliability of the proposed system will be high due to the above stated
reasons. The reason for the increased reliability of the system is that now there would be proper
storage of information.
4. No Redundancy: - In the proposed system utmost care would be that no information is
repeated anywhere, in storage or otherwise. This would assure economic use of storage space
and consistency in the data stored.
5. Immediate retrieval of information: - The main objective of proposed system is to provide for
a quick and efficient retrieval of information.
6. Immediate storage of information: - In manual system there are many problems to store the
largest amount of information.
7. Easy to Operate: - The system should be easy to operate and should be such that it can be
developed within a short period of time and fit in the limited budget of the user.

2.2 Background
ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM is a voting system by which any Voter can use his\her voting rights
from any where in India. ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM contains-:
● Voter’s information in database.
● Voter’s Names with ID.
● Voter’s vote in a database.
● Calculation of total number of votes.

Various operational works that are done in the system are:-

 ● Recording information of the Voter in Voter database.
● Checking of information filled by voter.
● Discard the false information.
● Each information is sent to ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA.

2.3 Project Requirements

Hardware Requirements (Processor RAM Disk Space)
Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, Higher 128 Mb or Higher 130 Mb

Software Requirements (Operating System Database)

Win-98, Win-XP, Linux, My SQL

2.4 User Characteristics

Every user should be:
✔ Comfortable with Internet Browser.
✔ He must have brief knowledge of voting system.
✔ He must also have basic knowledge of English too.

2.5 Constraints
✔ GUI is only in English.
✔ Login and password is used for identification of Voter.

2.6 Definitions of problems

• Not User Friendly: The existing system is not user friendly because the retrieval of data is
very slow and data is not maintained efficiently.
• Difficulty in report generating: We require more calculations to generate the final result so
it is generated at the end of the session. And the voter not get a single chance to change his\her
vote.

• Time consuming: Every work is done manually so we cannot generate report in the middle of
the session or as per the requirement because it is very time consuming.
 CHAPTER-3
FEASIBILITY STUDY

Depending on the results of the initial investigation the survey is now expanded to a more detailed
feasibility study. “FEASIBILITY STUDY” is a test of system proposal according to its workability,
impact of the organization, ability to meet needs and effective use of the resources. It focuses on
these major questions:
1. What are the user’s demonstrable needs and how does a candidate system meet them?
2. What resources are available for given candidate system?
3. What are the likely impacts of the candidate system on the organization?
4. Whether it is worth to solve the problem?
During feasibility analysis for this project, following primary areas of interest are to be considered.
Investigation and generating ideas about a new system does this.
Steps in feasibility analysis

Eight steps involved in the feasibility analysis are:

● Form a project team and appoint a project leader.
● Prepare system flowcharts.
● Enumerate potential proposed system.
● Define and identify characteristics of proposed system.
● Determine and evaluate performance and cost effective of each proposed system.
● Weight system performance and cost data.
● Select the best-proposed system.
● Prepare and report final project directive to management.

3.1 Technical feasibility

A study of resource availability that may affect the ability to achieve an acceptable system. This
evaluation determines whether the technology needed for the proposed system is available or not.
● Can the work for the project be done with current equipment existing software technology
& available personal?
● Can the system be upgraded if developed?
● If new technology is needed then what can be developed?
user requirement. The technical needs of the system may include:
Front-end and back-end selection
An important issue for the development of a project is the selection of suitable front-end and back-
end. When we decided to develop the project we went through an extensive study to determine
the most suitable platform that suits the needs of the organization as well as helps in development
of the project.
The aspects of our study included the following factors.

Front-end selection:
1. It must have a GUI that assists employees that are not from IT background.
2. Scalability and extensibility.
3. Flexibility.
4. Robustness.
5. According to the organization requirement and the culture.
6. Must provide excellent reporting features with good printing support.
7. Platform independent.
8. Easy to debug and maintain.
9. Event driven programming facility.
10. Front end must support some popular back end like Ms Access.

According to the above stated features we selected PHP as the front-end for
developing our project.
Back-end Selection:
1. Multiple user support.
2. Efficient data handling.
3. Provide inherent features for security.
4. Efficient data retrieval and maintenance.
5. Stored procedures.
6. Popularity.
7. Operating System compatible.
8. Easy to install.

According to above stated features we selected MY SQL as the backend.

The technical feasibility is frequently the most difficult area encountered at this stage. It is
essential that the process of analysis and definition be conducted in parallel with an assessment
to technical feasibility. It centers on the existing computer system and to what extent it can
support the proposed system.
3.2 Economical feasibility
Economic justification is generally the “Bottom Line” consideration for most systems. Economic
justification includes a broad range of concerns that includes cost benefit analysis. In this we
weight the cost and the benefits associated with the candidate system and if it suits the basic
purpose of the organization i.e. profit making, the project is making to the analysis and design
phase.
The financial and the economic questions during the preliminary investigation are
verified to estimate the following:
● The cost to conduct a full system investigation.
● The cost of hardware and software for the class of application being considered.
. The benefits in the form of reduced cost.

● The proposed system will give the minute information, as a result the
performance is improved
● This feasibility checks whether the system can be developed with the available funds. The
Online voting system does not require enormous amount of money to be developed.
This can be done economically if planned judicially, so it is economically feasible. The cost
of project depends upon the number of man-hours required.
3.3 Operational Feasibility

It is mainly related to human organizations and political aspects. The points to be

considered are:
● What changes will be brought with the system?
● What organization structures are disturbed?

● What new skills will be required? Do the existing staff members have these
skills? If not, can they be trained in due course of time?

The system is operationally feasible as it very easy for the End users to operate it. It only needs
basic information about Windows platform.

3.4 Schedule feasibility

Time evaluation is the most important consideration in the development of project. The time
schedule required for the developed of this project is very important since more development time
effect machine time, cost and cause delay in the development of other systems.
A reliable Online voting system can be developed in the considerable amount of time
