Abstract

The word “vote” means to choose from a list, to elect or to determine. The main
motto of voting 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 voters during election, insecure or
inaccessible polling stations, inadequate polling materials and also inexperienced
personnel.

This online voting/polling system seeks to address the above issues. It should be
noted that with this system in place, the users, citizens in this case shall be given
ample time during the voting period. They shall also be trained on how to vote
online before the election time.

1. Introduction

“ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM” is an online voting technique. It is based on the other

online services the “Online Reservation System”. In this system people who have citizenship
of INDIA and whose age is above 18 years of any can give his/her valuable vote online
without going to any polling booth.

In “ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM” a voter/user can use his/her voting right online without
any difficulty. He\She has to fill up a Registration Form to register himself\herself online. All
the entries is checked by the DATABASE which has already all information about the voter.
If all the entries are correct then a USER ID and PASSWORD is given to the voter, by using
that ID and PASSWORD he\she can use his\her vote. If conditions are wrong then that entry
will be discarded.

1.1 Motivation & Overview

The Online Voting System (OVS) also known as E-Voting is a term encompassing
several different types of voting embracing both electronic means of counting votes.
Electronic voting technology can include punched cards, optical scan voting systems and
specialized voting kiosks.

The advantage of online voting over the common “queue method” is that the voters
have the choice of voting at their own free time and there is reduced congestion. It also
minimizes on errors of vote counting. Online voting is an electronic way of choosing leaders
via a web driven application. The individual votes are submitted in a Database which can be
queried to find out who of the aspirants for a given post has the highest no. of votes.

With the “ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM”, a voter can use his\her voting right online
without any difficulty. He\She has to register as a voter/user first before being authorized to
vote. The registration should be done prior to the voting data to enable data update in the
Database. With system in place also, if high security is applied, cases of false votes shall be
reduced. Peoples are getting more used to work with computers to do all sort of things,
namely sensitive operations such as shopping and home banking and they allow people to
vote far from where they usually live, helping to reduce rate.

1.2 Objective
The most crucial factor for a system like E-Vote to be successful is to exhibit a Voting
Protocol that can prevent opportunities for fraud or for sacrificing the voter’s privacy.

The Voting Protocol that will be designed and implemented for the E-Vote system
will combine the advantages of existing protocols and techniques, while at the same time it
will aim at eliminating most of the identified deficiencies and problems. The related attributes
that the E-Vote system will fully support, and against which it will be extensively tested and
validated. These attributes can be also considered, according to, as a set of criteria for a good
electronic voting system that can easily enjoy the trust and confidence of the voters and
process organizers.

About PHP and My-SQL

PHP

PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development but also
used as a general-purpose programming language. Originally created by “RasmusLerdorf” in
1994, the PHP reference implementation is now produced by The PHP Development
Team.[5] PHP originally stood for Personal Home Pagebut it now stands for the recursive
acronym PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.

PHP code may be embedded into HTML or HTML5 markup, or it can be used in
combination with various web template systems, web content management systems and web
frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter implemented as a module in
the web server or as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) executable. The web server
software combines the results of the interpreted and executed PHP code, which may be any
type of data, including images, with the generated web page. PHP code may also be executed
with a command-line interface (CLI) and can be used to implement standalone graphical
applications.

The PHP language evolved without a written formal specification or standard until 2014,
leaving the canonical PHP interpreter as a de facto standard. Since 2014 work has gone on to
create a formal PHP specification.

My-SQL

MYSQL is an open-source relational database management system, . The MYSQL

development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General
Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. MYSQL was owned and
sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MYSQL AB, now owned by
Oracle Corporation.

MYSQL is a central component of the LAMP open-source web application software stack.
LAMP is an acronym for "Linux, Apache, MYSQL, Perl/PHP/Python". Applications that use
the MYSQL database include: TYPO3, MODx, Joomla, WordPress, phpBB, MyBB, and
Drupal. MYSQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale websites, including Google.

History of MYSQL :MYSQL was created by a Swedish company, MYSQL AB, founded by
David Axmark, Allan Larsson and Michael "Monty" Widenius. Original development of
MYSQL by Widenius and Axmark began in 1994.[27] The first version of MYSQL appeared
on 23 May 1995. It was initially created for personal usage from MYSQL based on the low-
level language ISAM, which the creators considered too slow and inflexible. They created a
new SQL interface, while keeping the same API as MYSQL. By keeping the API consistent
with the MySQL system, many developers were able to use MYSQL instead of the MYSQL
antecedent.

MYSQL is written in C and C++. Its SQL parser is written in yacc, but it uses a home-
brewed lexical analyzer.[18] MySQL works on many system platforms, including AIX,
BSDi, FreeBSD, HP-UX, eComStation, i5/OS, IRIX, Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows,
NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, OS/2 Warp, QNX, Oracle Solaris,
Symbian, SunOS, SCO OpenServer, SCO UnixWare, Sanos and Tru64. A port of MySQL to
OpenVMS also exists.[19]

The MYSQL server software itself and the client libraries use dual-licensing distribution.
They are offered under GPL version 2, beginning from 28 June 2000, or to use a proprietary
license.

Support can be obtained from the official manual. Free support additionally is available in
different IRC channels and forums. Oracle offers paid support via its MYSQL Enterprise
products. They differ in the scope of services and in price. Additionally, a number of third
party organisations exist to provide support and services, including MariaDB and Percona.

MYSQL has received positive reviews, and reviewers noticed it "performs extremely well
in the average case" and that the "developer interfaces are there, and the documentation (not
to mention feedback in the real world via Web sites and the like) is very, very good".[25] It
has also been tested to be a "fast, stable and true multi-user, multi-threaded sql database
server".
