This document outlines a proposal for developing a distributed algorithm for an electronic voting system in Zambia. The aims are to reduce queues during voting, allow people to vote from any polling station, and enable citizens abroad to vote from embassies. The requirements include verifying voter identification and ensuring each voter only votes once while maintaining anonymity. Research questions focus on whether the system would reduce queues and costs while increasing accessibility compared to other algorithms. Related work examines similar systems used in other countries. An overview of the proposed methodology, user cases, network infrastructure, and schedule is provided.

4. Aims
The main aim of the project are to develop a
distributed algorithm for Electronic Voting :
1. Reduce the size of the queues during voting.
2. Allow people to vote where ever there are so
long there is a Polling station.
3.Allow people living in foreign countries to vote
from the Embassy.

5. Introduction
Electronic voting is a way of casting votes
through electronic means. In order to provide
free and fair Elections for the people, The
Electoral Commission of Zambia needs to
develop a new way of providing Electoral
services to the people that is safe, easy to use
and learn , fault-tolerant, less time consuming
and robust system. The Research in Electronic
Voting is very important for the progress of
democracy.

6. Specification Requirements
1. System that allows citizens in foreign countries to
vote so long there is an Embassy. And Monitors
and Administrators should aid the process of
voting in all countries.
2. All registered voters should only vote once.
3. The Identification cards have to be verified by a
monitor and administrator.
4. The voter has to authentication him/her to the
system in order to vote.
5. No one can link a cast vote to any of the voters.

7. Research Questions
1. Will the implementation of the Distributed
Voting System Reduce the size of the queues
during Voting?
2. Is a Distributed voting Algorithm better in
terms of reducing costs, increasing
accessibility and less time consuming than
other algorithms used in voting?

8. Related Work
1. A system similar was used in the recent
Elections in Kenya.
2. The United States of America ,India
, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates and china.
3. It is also been developed in Namibia and
Zambia.
