Abstract:
Using the decade old election system to collect votes from the citizens is no longer
considered efficient due to the various recurring errors. So, time has arrived that the paper
based primordial voting system which has already proven itself an inefficient and slow
procedure is changed immediately. The system that is being followed currently, from data
collection procedure to counting of the votes is a manual process. Here we are proposing
an automated electronic voting system. It starts with automated registration system that
will provide the secured database of the voters’ information. Voter details will be stored
against their finger prints in the main database. The election commission authority is
authorized to access the details but they aren’t authorized for modifying or changing the
details. Modification of the voters’ information requires the fingerprint of the particular
voter. So, the system will help to minimize the corruption done by others, and hopefully
corruption may be diminished at some point of time. In this system Voter will select
his/her preferable candidate by providing his or her opinion on a touch screen where all
candidates’ voting sign is displayed. Four layered network systems will be used here for
sending the votes from client to the main database there are three application servers, and
a client. Among them one application server will work as dispatcher. The encrypted votes
will be sent from the client to the dispatcher through an application server and this layer
will send those votes to main database through another application server. They will be
counted there automatically which will take lesser time than the manual system. So, the
result will be faster, more accurate and reliable.
