DEVELOPMENT OF A MOBILE APP E-VOTING SYSTEM FOR SUG ELECTION (CASE STUDY; FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC, MUBI)
Abstract
The modernization of electoral processes is a critical step toward fostering democratic participation and ensuring the integrity of student elections. This project addresses this need by developing a mobile app-based electronic voting system designed for Student Union Government (SUG) elections at the Federal Polytechnic Mubi. The system enhances security, streamlines the voting process, and promotes higher participation rates by providing a convenient and reliable platform for voters. The project includes a comprehensive review of existing e-voting systems and related literature, drawing insights from previous advancements in secure authentication and electronic voting technologies. The methodology involves system design, API integration, testing, and iterative refinements, with a strong emphasis on user-friendliness and robust security measures. The results of the implementation demonstrate significant improvements in the efficiency, transparency, and credibility of SUG elections. The system shows potential for wider adoption, serving as a model for similar academic institutions seeking to modernize their electoral processes. In conclusion, this Mobile App-based E-voting system represents a meaningful advancement in student election management. By combining innovative technology with a user-centric approach, the project strengthens democratic engagement and enhances the overall electoral experience for students at Federal Polytechnic Mubi.
