An online voting system

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an online voting system that would ease the process of voting at Uganda Martyrs University. The current system is manual and requires students to move to the polling station in order to cast their vote. In this process, the students have to provide their initials to the voting officials at the polling stations and once provided, the voting officials verify the information provided and the students are given ballot papers in order to complete the process of voting . This process is time consuming and tiresome. The online voting system therefore provides an easier way of voting that does not require ones’ physical presence in order to cast their vote.
