Purpose
We live in a democracy and voting is one of our fundamental duties as responsible citizens of the country, but nowhere around the country a 100% people come to vote during the elections in their territory. There have been many reasons for that some of them are: In the rural areas the influential people keep their men at the polling booths to threaten the common man to vote for them There are many portions of the country like the North East where there is locally sponsored terrorism, at such places the security conditions are also not very bright, so naturally people feel afraid to come out of their houses and go to vote Net savvy, new generation want a hassle free voting system. Also the people in metros want a system through which they can vote for their territory without traveling. Voting is one of the fundamental duties of every citizen. But many people do not go for voting thinking why to waste their time. Also a number of malpractices take place at the polling booths.

Considering these problems, Online Polling System Is the only solution. Online Voting system provides a convenient way of managing the voting system over internet.

1.2

It provides a hassle free environment to voters for practicing their right to vote just by casting their votes online. Different system users are created and they are assigned different privilege levels. Thus, security is maintained. Digital signature is implemented when the citizen applies for voter id by filling the registration form. It is also implemented when a voter casts his vote on the website.

The system maintains a centralized database to provide security to

information which can be accessed only by the admin (ECO). The Election Commissioner will create the profiles for the candidates using which the candidates will be able to campaign. Current statistics regarding the results will be displayed Chat and forum facility is available even for general public, who are not logged on to the system. FAQ section is also included for users benefit. Java Based client system for ECO and FO.

1.3

2.1

Product Perspective:

The software product is a standalone system and not apart of a larger system. The system will be made up of two parts, one running visible directly to the administrator on the server machine and the other visible to the end users, in this case the voters, through web pages. The two users of the system, namely the voters and the election authority(EA) interact with the system in different ways. The Election Commission Officer and Field Officer configures the provided java-client according to its needs. The voters cast their votes using the web interface provided. These votes are accepted by the system on the server.
