The proposed project is an e-voting application for Abu Congregation elections at Ahmadu Bello University, aiming to address issues with the current manual voting system, such as inefficiency and inaccessibility. The application seeks to enhance election processes through improved security, user-friendliness, and inclusivity, including features for voters with disabilities and off-campus individuals. Utilizing a structured software development lifecycle, the project intends to deliver a reliable platform that boosts voter confidence and participation in the electoral process.

4. INTRODUCTION
In our world, elections are a fundamental process for selecting leaders and decision-makers in any organization or society.
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) in Zaria is one of Nigeria’s oldest and largest universities.
Currently, ABU relies on paper ballots for its congregation elections, which are often criticized for being slow, insecure, and
inefficient.
In the digital era, e-voting enhances elections by improving efficiency, transparency, accessibility, and participation.
The application of technology boost voter turnout and confidence in the election process by guaranteeing security and
accessibility.
The development of this system is intended to address existing challenges and create a more streamlined and effective
electoral process at ABU.

5. Problem
Statement
The current voting system at Ahmadu Bello
University faces several challenges that hinder
its effectiveness and credibility
• The manual voting process is time-consuming
• Invalid vote by voters can also lead to vote waste.
• Physical voting requires voters to be present at specific
locations
• Conducting paper-based elections requires significant
resources
These problems prompted the development of
a more efficient, secure, and accessible e-voting
system for ABU congregation elections

6. AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of this project work is to create easy to use, reliable and secure e-
voting application that will meet the electoral demand of Ahmadu Bello
University Congregation election. The objectives in achieving the aims
are:
• To create a user-friendly e-voting application that facilitates Congregation elections within
the university.
• To develop application that will be used to accommodate all voters, including those with
disabilities and those off-campus.
• To conduct a usability testing with a diverse group of voters to collect feedback and
improve the application's functionality.

7. LITERATURE REVIEW
Kalaiyarasi et al. (2020) developed a smartphone-based e-voting system using Android Studio, XML,
Java, MySQL, and Firebase, reducing voting time and fraud but missing discussion on security
vulnerabilities and accessibility, aligning with SDG 16.
Sherine et al. (2022) created a secure e-voting app for students with captcha, OTP, and fingerprint
authentication, preventing phishing and enabling remote voting, though improvements are needed
in real-time result display and notifications, aligning with SDG 16 and SDG 9.
Yanti et al. (2023) developed an Android-based e-voting application for village head elections using
the Waterfall model, promoting transparency and efficiency but lacking detailed cybersecurity
measures and accessibility considerations, aligning with SDG 16 and SDG 9.

14. Conclusion
The main objective of the E-Voting Mobile Application
development process was to create a safe, effective, and easy-
to-use platform for electronic voting. Using a thorough
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process, the
application was created, put into use, and tested to ensure that
it satisfied the requirements of both election officials and
voters.
