1.6 Overview: The SRS will include two sections, namely:

-I- Overall Description:
-I- Specific Requirements: This section will describe the

functions of actors, their roles in the system and the constraints faced
by the system.
2.0 Overall Description:
2.1 Product Perspective:
The product is an election conducting tool with a simple GUI. The product is developed using
Java. The product is stand-alone, however it requires Java Virtual Machine (JVM).The
requirements are based on the requirements that JVM/JRE needs in order to function
properly.
2.2 Software Interface:

The “Electronic Voting System” software will interface with a local SQL database for writing and verifying vote-
records. Commands for interfacing, connecting and writing data entries will be the same as any standard SQL
client-server application.
Front End Client:

-I- Web Server:
-I- Data Base Server:
4- Back End:

2.3 Hardware Interface
None.
2.4 Product Functions
The product has a server back-end which takes care of authenticating the users, maintaining
necessary data structures. The GUI at the server's end enables creating the polls on behalf of the
client. The users must connect to the server to authenticate their identification against the password
and then vote using the GUI at their end.
2.5 User Characteristics
Users are considered to be technically novices. The minimum requirement of being able to use a
computer is expected. The user has to click against the favorable candidate on the GUI.
2.7 System Architecture

The system architecture defines the key components of the proposed system together with
the interactions between these components (Figure 5.1)

Event:
If the voter is not identified in three attempts, the process stops and the voter needs to contact the election
conducting authority to restart the process.
