 ABSTRACT

The online voting system is a software application that allows voters to cast their
votes securely and conveniently over the Internet. This system aims to provide a
reliable, userfriendly, and efficient voting process, ensuring the integrity and
accuracy of the voting results.

The online voting system offers several advantages compared to traditional

paperbased voting methods. It allows voters to cast their votes remotely,
eliminating the need for physical presence at polling stations. This makes it
particularly beneficial for voters who are unable to attend in-person voting due to
reasons such as distance, disability, or time constraints.

This project comprises a full stack web application for implementing the online
voting system. The system consists of different modules, including user
registration, authentication, candidate selection, and vote casting. It also
incorporates security measures to protect the system from unauthorized access and
ensure the confidentiality and integrity of votes.

The system enables users to create an account and log in securely using their
credentials. Once logged in, users can navigate through the system and view the list
of candidates for different positions. They can then select their preferred
candidate(s) and submit their vote. The system ensures that users can only vote
once and that their votes remain anonymous.

For administrators, the system provides functionalities to manage user accounts,

candidate profiles, and voting data. Administrators can also generate reports and
monitor the progress of the voting process.

To develop this online voting system, a combination of front-end and back-end

technologies will be utilized. The front-end will be developed using HTML, CSS,
and JavaScript, while the back-end will be built using a server-side scripting

4
language like PHP or Node.js. A database management system, such as MySQL or
PostgreSQL, will handle data storage and retrieval.

In conclusion, the implementation of an online voting system offers a convenient

and secure means of conducting elections. This project aims to provide a
comprehensive solution that meets the needs of both voters and administrators,
ensuring transparency, efficiency, and accuracy in the voting process.

In order to overcome these challenges, we can extract useful information from big
data to an understandable structure using Data Mining. We can also use algorithms
that learn from this data and automatically predict further trends. This branch of
Artificial Intelligence is called Machine Learning and Artificial Neural Networks is
the approach we are using to implement this.
The stock market is a platform where an enormous amount of data exists and
constantly needs to be scrutinized for business opportunities. Therefore, we are
applying these aforementioned methods to simulate a brokerage system and analyze
the stock market while at the same time learning the fundamentals of investment,
without risking your own money.
