Real-Time Election Voting and Results Display System (REVORDS)

Abstract

Advancements in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) should be leveraged to provide requirements for secure, real-time voting and results processing/distribution in any democratic society that craves for free, fair and credible elections. Traditional voting systems frequently fraught with issues of fraud, processing of votes cast as well as delays in release of election. The aim of this paper is to have credible elections by creating a comprehensive and secure system that enables voters to cast their ballots online, while also simultaneously providing real-time access to election results. The system's key components include an easy-to-use online web application that enables voters to safely cast their ballots, a reliable backend system for processing and verifying votes, and a platform for displaying results in real time that is available to the general public and relevant authorities. To protect the security and integrity of every vote, the voting process uses multi-factor authentication and encryption measures to reduce the possibilities of manipulation, and prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, the system uses cutting-edge data analytics and visualization capabilities to give voters and election officials access to dynamic, real-time election results.
