The document discusses an e-voting system project that aims to provide a secure and user-friendly online voting system. It outlines the existing paper-based voting system and proposes an online voting system where voters can cast their votes from anywhere in India through a database that stores voter information and votes. The proposed system is designed to accurately record and retrieve voter information and votes in a planned, reliable, and redundant manner. It requires hardware like a PC and Windows OS along with Java programming language to develop the online voting software.

1. E-VOTING SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
The project is mainly aimed at providing a most secured and user friendly online voting system.
• Internet voting will allow the casting of electronic ballots from virtually any location
around the world.
• Elections may be organized in many different ways. Paper-based elections make use of
paper ballots, while automated elections make use of some kind of voting machines that
automate the voting and/or tabulation procedures.
• When the voting machines are actually implemented by computers, we talk about
electronic voting.
• Online voting systems are much more formal than online polling systems, because they
seek (or should seek) to accurately reflect the voters' preferences.
• The present report focuses on online (electronic) voting systems. If the network used is
the Internet, this fact may be emphasized by using the term Internet voting instead.
EXISTING SYSTEM: paper-based voting systems originated as a system where votes are cast
and counted by hand, using paper ballots. With the advent of electronic tabulation came systems
where paper cards or sheets could be marked by hand, but counted electronically. These systems
included punched card voting, marksense and later digital pen voting systems.
Most recently, these systems can include an Electronic Ballot Marker (EBM), that allow voters

2. to make their selections using an electronic input device.
A direct-recording electronic voting machine records votes by means of a ballot display
provided with mechanical or electro-optical components that can be activated by the voter
(typically buttons or a touchscreen); that processes data with computer software; and that records
voting data and ballot images in memory components. After the election it produces a tabulation
of the voting data stored in a removable memory component and as printed copy. The system
may also provide a means for transmitting individual ballots or vote totals to a central location
for consolidating and reporting results from precincts at the central location. These systems use a
precinct count method that tabulates ballots at the polling place. They typically tabulate ballots
as they are cast and print the results after the close of polling
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
1. ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM is a voting system by which any Voter can use hisher
voting rights from any where in India. ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM contains-:
•Voter’s information in database.
•Voter’s Names.
Voter’s vote in a database.
Various operational works that are done in the system are:-
•Recording information of the Voter in Voter database.
•Checking of information filled by voter.
•Discard the false information.
•cach information is sent to ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA.
2. Planned approach towards working: - The working in the organization will be well
planned and organized. The data will be stored properly in data stores, which will help in
retrieval of information as well as its storage.
2. Accuracy: - The level of accuracy in the proposed system will be higher. All operation
would be done correctly and it ensures that whatever information is coming from the
center is accurate.
3. Reliability: - The reliability of the proposed system will be high due to the above stated
reasons. The reason for the increased reliability of the system is that now there would be
proper storage of information.
4. No Redundancy: - In the proposed system utmost care would be that no information is
repeated anywhere, in storage or otherwise. This would assure economic use of storage
space and consistency in the data stored.
5. Immediate retrieval of information: - The main objective of proposed system is to
provide for a quick and efficient retrieval of information.

3. 6. Immediate storage of information: - In manual system there are many problems to
store the largest amount of information.
7. Easy to Operate: - The system should be easy to operate and should be such that it can
be developed within a short period of time and fit in the limited budget of the user
