1. Introduction
1.1. About ONPOLL
The ONPOLL software developed by CETTECHNOCRATES is online national
polling software. It derives its name from online, national and polling and thus the name
ONPOLL. It is unique in its own respect with the various unique features provided. It is
designed so as to automate the whole process of Online National Polling. By using this
software we can reduce the manpower and paper work i.e. involved in the process of online
national polling.
1.2. Purpose

ONPOLL manages the complete Polling procedure of a nation with minimal amount of
paperwork & by using minimum manpower as well as effectively managing the data of users.
The online system also extends to the voters who are geographically scattered all over the
world. It is also designed to easily integrate with other systems such as online banking
system, online library management system, school online chatting system etc.
1.3. Scope

Maintain the details of the polling and areas coming under that particular nation.
Generate day to day reports.
Selling of application forms online for new voters.
Maintain the details of applicant voters.
Allocate polling centers for applicant voters.
Send hall tickets to students to their account.
Publish schedule list for any future plan online.
Verify the I.D. of applicant voters in the polling with the respective areas.
Constantly update the status of polling.
Report the statistics of polling.
Maintain the details of admitted voters.
Generate the various reports that are required throughout the polling procedure.

1.7. Overview

Overall Description will describe major components of the system, interconnection,
database design, use-case model and the external interfaces


Specific Requirements will describe the functions of actors, their role in the system,
flow of events for each use-case and constraints


2. Overall Description
We have to create a website which provide online polling ,online registration for the voters
either they have voter id or not ,if they dont have voter id then in this we provide them voter id
which is unique for every applicant.
It provide online voter id which will be verified by the field officer (address & identity validation)
and after receiving the field officers report only the registration will be validated and a voter id
will be issued (a photograph have to be uploaded).you can also think about any other secure
method like digital signature.
It allows access to the following
General Public
Candidates
Administrator(Election Commission officers)
Field Officers

2.6. User Characteristics

All users of the system are expected to have basic knowledge of using a computer as
well as using the internet.



2.7. Constraints

Applicants must have Internet connection so as to interact with the System.
The certifying authority has a system in place to verify the voters id, address, valid
age used for communication with the other systems(There must be a webservice).
Each user is identified by a user id and password.
In case of Online Polling, respective software must be present which conducts the
polling and exports the result in an xml form to the system.
The feature of giving Higher Option during Polling to the voters is out of scope of the
System
Certain information like the Polling schedule ,Centers and Result are assumed to be
obtained from the respective Election Commission Officer.
Databases like list of candidates, candidates marks of polling are assumed to be
already present and it should be unique. No provision is made in the software to add
or edit these details.
