1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This Software Requirements Specification describes the functional and nonfunctional

requirements of the On Line Voting for the KASAMA General Elections. This document is
intended to be used by the members of the project team that will implement and verify the
correct functioning of the system.
1.2 Intended Audience and Reading Suggestions
The intended audience for this SRS and other related documents are the users of this
software program particularly the KASAMA student organization, the students of MSU-IIT
and Professor Manuel Cabido.
1.3 Project Scope
The On Line Voting System will allow the students of MSU-IIT to vote in the KASAMA
General Elections through the use of a desktop computer connected to the MSU-IIT Wide
Area Network (WAN) or through the internet. This System will reduce the hassles of
manual voting and also deliver a more accurate and credible election results because it
eliminates the errors that are created by the manual tabulation of votes. In addition, the On
Line Voting System reduces the cost in producing Election ballots.

2. Overall Description
2.1 Product Perspective
The Online Voting for the KASAMA General Elections is a new system that replaces the current
manual election process in the KASAMA General Elections. The diagram in Figure 1 illustrates the

ultimately connecting to the Internet fully automating the KASAMA General Elections.
2.2 Product Features
The Registered User/Voter logs in to the Online Voting System and lets him cast his vote through
the computer. The System will then tabulate all the electronic votes after voting period and show the
complete results of the Election.
2.3 User Classes and Characteristics
Voter A voter is a Student of MSU-IIT, Tibanga, Iligan City, who wishes to

exercise his right to vote in the KASAMA General Elections. There are
more than 10,000 students of MSU-IIT and at least 60% are expected to
participate in the KASAMA General Elections.
System A System Administrator is a Student or Faculty of MSU-IIT who is

Administrator authorized to oversee the On Line Election process.
2.4 Operating Environment
