ABSTRACT

Election system have functionality to perform task such as candidate application, voter application procedure, voting online, means all the task will be conducted online. Election system will provide the solution for different user like voter, candidate, and election commission. Election System is mainly divided in different modules which are voter, Administrator, candidate & Reports (Result). ELECTION SYSTEM will also have special features of analyzing candidates on basis of the detailed record of the candidate which includes features such as criminal records, attendance in the assembly, social works performed and many more details.

2. INTRODUCTION

Need of Election System:India is a constitutional democracy with a parliamentary system of government, and at the heart of the system is a commitment to hold regular, free and fair elections. These elections determine the composition of the government, the membership of the two houses of parliament, the state and union territory legislative assemblies, and the Presidency and vice-presidency. Elections in India are events involving political mobilization and organizational complexity on an amazing scale. In the 1996 election to Lok Sabha there were 1,269 candidates from 38 officially recognized national and state parties seeking election, 1,048 candidates from registered parties, not recognized and 10,635 independent candidates. A total number of 59, 25, 72,288 people voted. The Election Commission employed almost 40, 00,000 people to run the election. A vast number if civilian police and security forces were deployed to ensure that the elections were carried out peacefully. The direct cost of organizing the election mounted to approximately Rs. 5,180 million.

Problem Definition:Implementation of Election System for India with Election Forecasting capability. The Election System aims at implementing the process of election online. It consists of a website which has the option of registration for Candidates standing up for the election as well as the voters. Not only can candidates register
4

themselves but they can also notify every voter of their rallies. The voter, who also can register gets to vote for his favorite candidate. All of the registration, login related processing is validated at the Election Commission. Each voter/candidate whilst registering gets to choose the region that he is from/representing. Accordingly when they login, they will be automatically routed to that region specific domain. Every region has a Administrator who in turn is chosen by the Election Commission. The main responsibility of the EC is to ensure that all Administrators are properly installed in every region and that all Administrators are properly adhering to their responsibilities. The Administrators on the other hand have the responsibility of ensuring that all candidates that are registered within their region are authorized and also act as a buffer between the candidates and the voters by notifying the rallies of candidates in the form of Latest News to the voters. The Administrator also has the responsibility of seeing to it that only the voter having a voter ID card is able to vote, thus also ensuring that a voter who votes once will not be allowed to do so any further.

5. REQUIREMENTS PHASE

11

Election system is implemented by the following hardware and software requirements:HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS;SERVER MACHINE and CLIENT MACHINE having following minimum configurations: TWO PCs WITH WINDOWS 2000 SERVER OPERATING SYSTEM HAVING 2.0GB RAM NETWORK ADAPTER CARDS FOR HIGH SPEED ETHERNET LAN HIGH SPEED INTERNET CONNECTION SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: WEB BROWSER WITH EMAIL ACCOUNT. LANGUAGES- ASP, .NET. *MOZILLA is recommended for proper view. *.NET is preferred over ASP because it is faster and more modularized and easy in implementation. Also .NET is simple and easy to use. Constraints: Person should have basic Internet Literacy. Updating of voter profile should be done before every election. Site may get slow because of large population will access to ELECTION SYSTEM

12

6. ANALYSIS PHASE

13

 Analysis Phase involves the process of extracting the needs of the system and analyzes what the system must do to satisfy user requirements. The goal of analysis is to understand the domain of the problem and system responsibilities by understanding how the user will use the system.

5.4 USE-CASE ANALYSIS:

A use case analysis is the most common technique used to identify the requirements of a system (normally associated with software/process design) and the information used to both define processes used and classes (which are a collection of actors and processes) which will be used both in the Use case diagram and the overall Use case in the development or redesign of a software system or program. The use case analysis is the foundation upon which the system will be built. A use case analysis is the primary form for gathering usage requirements for a new software program or task to be completed. The primary goals of a use case analysis are: 1. Designing a system from the users perspective, communicating system behavior in the users terms, and specifying all externally visible behaviors.

2. Another set of goals for a use case analysis is to clearly communicate: system requirements, how the system is to be used, the roles the user plays
14

in the system, what the system does in response to the users stimulus, what the user receives from the system, and what value the customer or user will receive from the system.

ELECTION SYSTEM has different modules which are voter, candidate, election commission, reports.

Voter: Voter can perform different functions which are updating profile, voting see candidate profile. The democratic system in India is based on the principle of universal adult suffrage; that any citizen over the age of 18 can vote in an election (before 1989 the age limit was 21). The right to vote is irrespective of caste, creed, religion or gender. Those who are deemed unsound of mind, and people convicted of certain criminal offences are not allowed to vote.

There has been a general increase in the number of people voting in Indian elections. In 1952 61.16 per cent of the electorate voted. By 1996 the turnout for the general election was 57.94 per cent. There have been even more rapid increases in the turnout of women and members of the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, who had tended to be far less likely to participate in elections, and voting for these groups has moved closer to the national average. Voting Procedure: 1) Voter will be login b y voter_id to voter screen. 2) Verification of voter will be done by the face reorganization. 3) If successful Voter will allowed to vote. Otherwise voter should enter valid id, password and face should properly scan.

Candidate:-

Any Indian citizen who is registered as a voter and is over 25 years of age is allowed to contest elections to the Lok Sabha or State Legislative Assemblies.
18

For the Rajya Sabha the age limit is 30 years. Candidates for the Rajya Sabha and Vidhan Sabha should be a resident of the same state as the constituency from which they wish to contest.

Every candidate has to make a deposit of Rs. 10,000/- for Lok Sabha election and 5,000/- for Rajya Sabha or Vidhan Sabha elections, except for candidates from the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes who pay half of these amounts. The deposit is returned if the candidate receives more than one-sixth of the total number of valid votes polled in the constituency. Nominations must be supported at least by one registered elector of the constituency, in the case of a candidate sponsored by a registered Party and by ten registered electors from the constituency in the case of other candidates. Returning Officers, appointed by the Election Commission, are put in charge to receive nominations of candidates in each constituency, and oversee the formalities of the election.

In a number of seats in the Lok Sabha and the Vidhan Sabha, the candidates can only be from either one of the scheduled castes or scheduled tribes. The number of these reserved seats is meant to be approximately in proportion to the number of people from scheduled castes or scheduled tribes in each state. There are currently 79 seats reserved for the scheduled castes and 41 reserved for the scheduled tribes in the Lok Sabha.

Political parties:Political parties are an established part of modern mass democracy, and the conduct of elections in India is largely dependent on the behaviour of political

19

parties. Although many candidates for Indian elections are independent, the winning candidates for Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections usually stand as members of political parties, and opinion polls suggest that people tend to vote for a party rather than a particular candidate. Parties offer candidates organizational support, and by offering a broader election campaign, looking at the record of government and putting forward alternative proposals for government, help voters make a choice about how the government is run. Political parties have to be registered with the Election Commission. The Commission determines whether the party is structured and committed to principles of democracy, secularism and socialism in accordance with the Indian Constitution and would uphold the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India. Parties are expected to hold organizational elections and have a written constitution. The Anti-defection law, passed in 1985, prevents MPs or MLAs elected as candidates from one party forming or joining a new party, unless they comprise more than one-third of the original party in the legislature

Administrator:Administrator is the person who actually manages particular section. In this Administrator perform different functions retrieving data, maintain area database.

Election Commission:ELECTION COMMISSION is higher body, which conduct elections. ELECTION COMMISSION assigns Administrator to particular region. An independent Election Commission has been established under the Constitution in order to carry out and regulate the holding of elections in India.

20

The Election Commission was established in accordance with the Constitution on 25th January 1950. Originally a Chief Election Commissioner ran the commission, but first in 1989 and later again in 1993 two additional Election Commissioners were appointed. The Election Commission is responsible for the conduct of elections to parliament and state legislatures and to the offices of the President and VicePresident. The Election Commission prepares, maintains and periodically updates the Electoral Roll, which shows who is entitled to vote, supervises the nomination of candidates, registers political parties, monitors the election campaign, including candidates funding. It also facilitates the coverage of the election process by the media, organises the regions where voting takes place, and looks after the counting of votes and the declaration of results. All this is done to ensure that elections can take place in an orderly and fair manner.

Reports:There are different Reports like Forecasted results, Actual Results of the voting, candidate list as provided by various Parties, voter list.

7. DESIGN PHASE

22

During design phase, the model is evaluated into actual objects that can perform the required task. There is a shift in emphasis from the application domain to implementation. The classes identified during analysis provide a framework for the design phase. System design develops the architectural detail required to build a system or product.

Explanation Of E.R. diagram:-

Work done

A person can be a voter, candidate and admin. So, all the personal details will be the attributes of person. A person stays in a particular constituency. The constituency comprises of stay of residence of a particular person. In case of voter, he will be having his voter id, username and password. In case of candidate, he will be having candidate id, work done, assets and his party name. In case of admin, he will be belonging to a particular constituency which will be allotted by the Election Commission. Now a person can view candidate profile, vote a candidate that belongs to his constituency.

33

 A candidate will be standing for Elections from a particular constituency. Admin will get the results of each and every candidate belonging to a particular constituency and will provide the results to Election commission once voting procedure is completed.

9. SECURITY

54

Figure 13

As shown in the diagram we have implemented a two tier security.

In the first tier the user will be registering in an ARC center. There

he will be checked and frisked of all his documents such as Passport, Unique ID and PAN Card. Thus we have taken care that the voter doesnt register with FAKE

IDs or doesnt register twice.

55

After registration the user can login from anywhere and vote any

time till the time for voting expires. In the second tier we have taken care of the issue incase the user

does lose his username or password to another person. If Tier 1 is breached, then in tier 2 there is an option of Get voting

number which is nothing but a randomly generated number that is sent to his email address. Thus even if an unauthorized user gets hold of another users

username and password, he is still required to know the password of the victims email address. Thus Tier 2 takes care of the breaching done in tier 1 and thus voter

can vote without worrying about security.

10. TESTING PHASE

57

TESTING:10.1 UNIT TESTING In this stage of testing every webpage was individually build and after a successful build it was run in the browser. The errors reported were fixed back and the testing was performed recursively until the web page gave result as per specified in the requirements document by making appropriate changes in the .css and .aspx files of the respective web pages.

10.2 INTEGRATION TESTING In this we started with linking two pages at a time and then running them in the browser .The approach followed was top down, breadth first approach of integration testing. The modules which would run simultaneously were integrated at the same level and dependent modules were integrated subsequently thus integrating all the web forms into one single website. At every stage database connectivity was tested and the SQL queries used in the code file were individually tested and integrated in the system only after they gave desired results. 10.3 VALIDATION TESTING

The beta testing was conducted by selecting a few people and providing them with our website. The problems encountered by them were reported to us at regular intervals and our project team fixed those problems and made the necessary changes in the User Interface to make it more comfortable and user friendly. 10.4 REGRESSION TESTING

58

Regression testing was performed whenever a new module was added to check that the system still compiles with its specified requirements and that the addition of a new module did not have any unintended effects on the existing system. Thus the compatibility of different components in the system was checked.

11. CONCLUSION

59

 Election System is system which will help the different users like voter, candidate, Administrator & election commission to perform their respective task inefficient way. The most important benefit by the use of our ELECTION SYSTEM is it will reduce costs which spend on off line election system and to provide easy way to participate in election procedure by online voting.
