THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN E-VOTING SYSTEM FOR TERTIARY INSTISTUTION; FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ADO-EKITI SUGELECTION AS CASE STUDY.

The word “vote” means to choose from a list, to elect or to determine. The main goal of voting (in a scenario involving the citizens of a given country) is to come up with leaders of the people’s choice.The implementation of advanced technologies in election have become more effectual, beneficial and valuable to eliminate the fraud attempts in voting, to get the accurate voting results and to raise the voter turnout. There are various types of E-Voting System that have been introduced and implemented, but they have different vulnerabilities. So this project work propose a type that deals with the design and development of an Electronic Voting System with multiple facets that amplify security and transparency. The proposed voting system allows the voter to login, access the contesting candidates and select a candidate to vote while the voter submits a picture providing confidential identification. Once the voter completes the voting process, the voter can then navigate to the election tab to see his/her vote added to the vote tally under the candidate selected to vote. The vote counting process will be done automatically after the completion of voting time and that makes the voting process efficient, fast, and secure.
