ABSTRACT

The Online Voting System is a web based application. The system has a centralized database to keep
records of all the Voters and Candidates and Final Results. This Online Voting System is based on SMS
sending to voters, to confirmation of Vote. This web based system is time saving, work load reduced
information available at time and it provides security for the data. During the election, the election
commission of India has introduced a new method of polling by online voting system (OVS). The election
commission will maintain this website. This is a simple, safe and secure method that takes minimum of
time.

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. Most
countries, India not an exception have problems when it comes to voting. Some of the problems involved
include ridging votes during election, insecure or inaccessible polling stations, inadequate polling materials
and also inexperienced personnel.

 ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM

EXISTING SYSTEM

The voting system currently being used by the association is a paper based system, in which the voter
simply picks up ballots sheets from electoral officials, tick off who they would like to vote for, and then
cast their votes by merely handing over the ballot sheet back to electoral official.
The electoral officials gather all the votes being cast into a ballot box. At the end of the elections, he
electoral officials converge and count the votes cast for each candidate and determine the winner of each
election category.

DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing manual Voting system consumes more time for Vote Casting. Voter has to wait for vote
polling station to vote for a right candidate. The election officers has to be check the voter , this voter can
vote in this booth then check voter ID present in voters list of booth those are information will be present
then the voter can vote in that booth. The voter had to stand in the queue to cast his vote. All the work is
done in paper ballot so it is very hard to locate a particular candidate; some voters cast their votes for all
candidates. To overcome of all these problems we have to implement a web application, which is helpful
for Voting from anywhere.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

Here we are proposing a web application for voting process that is Online Voting System through SMS.
The online voting system will manages the
Voter’s details, Candidate details. The main feature of the project includes voter’s information and
candidate information; voter can login and use his/her voting rights. The system can manage the
information data very efficiently. The proposed system is more reliable, faster, accurate and easy to handle
compared to existing manual system. It helps to computerize everything and reducing the errors as
compare to manual voting system

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

1. It Maintains all The Information of all the Candidates and Votes.

2. It checks Voter have Voted or Not.

3. You can see All the Information Related to any Voting System Online.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

A. STUDY OF THE SYSTEM:

The objective of the system is a replacement of the traditional system that is in existence. This smart system
reduces the time for voting and also the system is reliable, and faster. In this system the voter username and
password will be sent through SMS. The voter cast their votes enter the confirmation OTP sent their mobile
number. Database maintained by this system usually contains the Voters information, Candidate information,
the final Result of total votes.

B. PROBLEM ANALYSIS:
The existing manual Voting system consumes more time for Vote
Casting. Voter has to wait for vote polling station to vote for a right candidate. The election officers has to be
check the voter , this voter can vote in this booth then check voter ID present in voters list of booth those are
information will be present then the voter can vote in that booth. The voter had to stand in the queue to cast
his vote. All the work is done in paper ballot so it is very hard to locate a particular candidate; some voters
cast their votes for all candidates. To overcome of all these problems we have to implement a web
application, which is helpful for Voting from anywhere.
