Product Overview

This is an attempt to make voting easier and user friendly. It not only adds up the vote in the database but also check for the user identity therefore preventing fake votes. The user must have his voter ID card for verification and their voter choice. The server connection connects to the voters database which is distributed and retrieves the data based on the voter ID no. The voter is then allowed to vote his candidate with their respective button. Therefore in order to bring a solution to this, we have developed an online voting system in which the user need not have to wait a long time in poll booth as it only needs a click from the user to his candidate and not worry about fake voting in his/her name and automatically reducing the overcrowd in those areas. Initially the users voter id is given as a keyword to check for the identity of the user in the voters database connectivity is made and the voter id is searched and the data respective to that voter ID is retrieved. Once the ID is verified with the users card, the voter is allowed to enter into the polling system where he will be provided with a button respective to each candidate and click on it indicating his vote to that person. If the users ID is not found or the user has voted already in the database he/she is not allowed to vote and the process proceeds the same to upcoming person.
