1 CHAPTER: 1
INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM
7
1.1 Introduction
Over the last few years, there have been a number of election observers who have suggested
electoral organizations should introduce electronic voting at State and Local Governmentelection
processes. Several countries have experimented with casting votes over the Internet, but today,
no nation uses. The Administrator’s effort is much reduced because now he can easily announce
the result by doing any mistake.In this voting system each voter will be provided with a specific
voter-id and a password through which access for the voting can be granted. If once the access is
granted for a voter-id then the access is denied for logging in till the voting system is refreshed
for the next election. Similarly the administrator will be provided with a special id through which
he can view the status of the election.This system is designed to minimize the errors of vote
counting. The individual votes are submitted in a database which can be queried to find out who
of the candidates for a given post has the highest number of votes
1.2 Purpose
Internet voting systems are appealing for several reasons which include People are getting more
used to work with computers to do all sorts 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 absenteeism rate. The main purpose of this system is to reduce the complexity
and cost of the election process and also voters can vote their candidate without any difficulty.
8
1.3 Objectives
The specific objectives of our project include:
1. Reviewing: Reviewing the existing/current voting process in our Country.

2. Validation: Validating the system to ensure that only legible can vote.
3. Performance: The size of the election should notaffect performance.
4. Skills: The system should allow and assist voters to cast their votes quickly, in one
session, and with minimal equipment and special skills.
5. Information: To deliver information about elections, candidates and their parties.
6. Privacy: No voter is allowed to see the votes of any other voter.
7. Flexibility: The system should allow a variety of ballot formats and it should be
customized to the specific characteristics of the voting processes.
8. Policies: No rules and regulations should be changed after the election has been started.
9. Efficiency. All computations during the election are done in a reasonable amount of time
and voters are not required to wait on other voters to complete the process.
1.4 Existing Solution

The problems of the existing manual system of voting include:
1. Expensive and Time Consuming.

2. Too much paper work.
3. Errors during data entry.
4. Loss of registration forms.
5. Short time provided to view the voter register.
9
1.5 Proposed Solution

The new implemented voting protocol has following solutions:
1. The Voter
The voter which can be found at home, in a working station, in a special polling station or
any other device have the function of performing the Authentication and voting.
2. The Administrator
The administratorperforms the function of voter and candidate registration, authorizationand
validation of voter, database and counting and the result.
3. Public transparency
Public transparency is done by the administrator (publication of Voter ID key, etc.).
4. Security and Privacy
These two factors are considered to be the most important part of any system. In case of
Voting system the casting of votes should be monitored and kept secrets.

Software Requirement Specification (SRS)
11
2.1 Introduction:
This is the important chapter of our documentation as in it we will describe the functional and
non-functional requirements of the system. In this chapter we will describe the user and system
requirements. System requirements are more detailed requirements and may include more
technical information.Requirements should be explained in such a manner that it would be easy
for the user to understand it properly.
2.1.1 Purpose:
The purpose of this chapter is to make the functional and non-functional requirements of the
Online Voting System easy to comprehend. It also servers making the functionality clear to the
users. Voting is considered to be the most important part of any developing Country. The voting
criteria in Pakistanis not fair and the declaration of result takes a lot of time. Our system is
designed in such a way that user can voting easily while sitting at home without going to any
polling stations. Voter will be provided with full rights to cast his/her vote to the deserving
candidate. Casting of vote should be kept secret. Voter will be provided by a unique username
and password for the voting and he/she can log-in for casting vote. All the entries will be
checked by the DATABASE which has already all information about the voter. If all the
entriesare correct than voter will be allowed to vote otherwise permission will be discarded.
2.1.2 Intended audience and reading suggestions:
The intended audience of this document is the potential end user. The SRS chapter is used to
provide all the information related to the system in a very easy and affected manner that every
user who is interested in voting can use it easily. All the functional and non-functional
requirements are explained in it which are the main parts of any system. Getting attention from
the user is our first priority so all the things are explained very easily which makes our system
user-friendly. The chapter also serve as a reference guide to the developers of the system.
12
2.1.3 Scope:
The software produced will be an online voting system. The main objective of this software is to
increase the overall voting percentage. It will maintain the database of all the eligible citizens
and candidates. It will manage all the account details of the voters such as citizen name, date of
birth, their constituency area, region, state, login id and password of the voter from one central
location.
2.2 Overall Description

2.2.1 Product Perspective:
This software product is a standalone system and not a part of a larger system. The system will
be very fast and efficient. Before the Election Day the system will be used for general purposes
such as viewing candidates, profiles and past year’s election results. The voters will reach the
system through web pages by using web-browsers such as Mozilla, Internet Explorer and Google
Chrome. On the Election Day another independent system will be used for voting operations.
This system will be adapted to the computers at the polling stations. The voters can cast their
votes using the interface that are provided at these machines. These votes are accepted by the
system on the server. Voters information will be kept save during registration. Providing security
to the user’s information is ours Product main goal.
2.2.2 User Characteristics:

Following are the characteristics of user
 The user should have a basic knowledge of how to use a web browser and navigate
through web pages.
 The users should be aware that they have to keep their user-id and password conﬁdential.
 User should have brief knowledge of voting rules and regulations.
 One should know English language.
 Every user should be comfortable withinternet browser.
 User should be concerned about fair voting.
13
2.2.3 Constraints:
 User should know how to use internet

 User can vote only one candidate.
 A user cannot be registered twice.
 Login and password is used for identification of Voter.
 Admin should add only those candidates who are eligible for elections.
2.3 Specific Requirement

2.3.1 Product Function:
The online voting system provides the real time information about the voting criteria. The main
purpose of this project is to reduce the manual work and to save time. This system is capable of
managing the voters, candidates, updating or deleting the voters and candidates, providing every
voter a user name or password, calculating results. There are two admins in our project one is
sub-admin and other is super-admin. They will be controlling the voters and the candidates. The
voters and candidates information can be fetched from the database. The valid users are allowed
to view their information and are allowed to cast vote.
2.3.2 User classes and characteristics:
Users of online voting are those who wants result in less time in orderto fulfil this requirement
system should be fast, easy to understand and free of errors.
Project is divided in to main classes
Customer: They are the one who actually uses the system. They are divided into main three
categories
o Owner
o Admin
o Voters
Developer: The team of Online Voting System are the developer. They can perform the cruds
operations and can use the System. It’s their responsibility to check whether the system is
working properly or not.
14
Designer: Those who have designed the websitefor online voting system. They can only edit,
change the design of the website. They know how to attract users by their design.
Implementer: Those who puts functional requirements in to practice. They only performs those
functional requirements which are given by the developer. They cannot expand the functions of
the system without the permission of the developer.
OVS Users: Those who only uses the system for voting. They are not allowed to edit or change
anything.
2.4 Operating Environment:
The browsers through which the voters access the server should have minimal support for
cookies and encrypted transactions.The product will be operating in windows environment. The
Online Voting Systemshould operate in all famous browsers, for a model we are taking
Microsoft Internet Explorer,Google Chrome,and Mozilla Firefox. Also it will be compatible with
the IE 6.0. Most of the features will be compatible with the Mozilla Firefox & Opera 7.0 or
higher version. The only requirement to use this system would be the internet connection.
2.4.1 System Features:
 OVS provides easy login so that voters can vote or register easily.
 OVS provide total anonymity to voters.
 OVS provides a website for the elections where a user can see all the latest updates of
elections.
 OVS contains multiple admins one for controlling voters and one for candidates.
 Strong authentication system so that no one except the Admin can get access to it.
 Separate registration forms for the voters and candidates.
 OVS is Free of errors and provides complete security. As security is the main issue facing
in many systems.
15
2.5 Non-Functional Requirements:
i. Performance Requirements:The system is expected to have reasonable short time

response. The voter should be able to login and should be able to get response for his
requests in 2-3 seconds.
ii. Network Connectivity:Network Resources needs to be reliable. This system uses
internet connectivity to be able to communicate with the web services and relies heavily
on network connectivity. Network can be monitored and errors can be reported when
there is a network connectivity issue.
iii. System Maintenance: System will be used be using some additional components. Each
of these components might need an update or changes. Applying these changes during the
maintenance should be relatively easy.
iv. Usability: It is expected that the user should be able to vote online easily. Administration
of the page also should be user friendly. User should complete voting in a few minutes.
Website shouldprovide an online help to the user if needed.
v. Reliability: The system should be reliable. Security is a major concern for an online
voting system. Process used in this system should be secure enough to be able to meet the
requirements mentioned for e-voting. It requires database connections and network
connections. Changes can be done in the databases to store the votes. All changes needs
to be confirmed and if the transfer is complete the confirmation should be displayed. The
changes should be monitored.
vi. Supportability: It should support all the browsers.Future enhancements or improvements
canbe considered during the design and development.
vii. Security: The system should provide basic security features like password and
authentication. All the passwords generated and communicated to the users should be
stored in the server onlyin an encrypted form for login management to prevent misuse.
Additional security features like voter anonymity and threshold schemes should be added
as a software important feature.
16

people, analysts and many more. So before designing a system the architecture is made with
different perspectives in mind. The most important part is to visualize the system from different
viewer’s perspective. The better we understand the better we make the system.

State Transition Diagram

A state diagram is a type of diagram used in computerscience and related fields to describe the
behavior of systems. State diagrams require that the system described is composed of a finite
number of statessometimes, this is indeed the case, while at other times this is a
reasonable abstraction. Many forms of state diagrams exist, which differ slightly and have
different semantics.
