The document proposes designing and developing a secure electronic voting system to replace the outdated paper-based system used for campus elections at Kalinga State University. Key features of the proposed system include automated voter registration to securely store voter information in a centralized database accessible to the election committee, and using personal computers for canvassing and counting votes, which would be faster, more accurate, and reliable compared to the current manual process. The proposed electronic system aims to address issues with the inefficient paper-based system and leverage advances in information and communication technologies for a more modern election process.

2. Abstract
The use of the decade-old election system to collect votes from the citizens is no longer
considered efficient due to the various issues and concerns. So time has arrived that the paper-
based primordial voting system which has already proven itself an inefficient and slow procedure
has to be changed. (Rahman et. al., 2004). The rapid advancement in information and
communications technologies has given rise to new applications that were impossible just few
years ago. One of these applications is e-voting. The term “e-voting” is defined as any voting
method where the voter’s intention is expressed or collected by electronic means. (Okediran et.
al., 2011)
The system that is being followed currently in the conduct of the Supreme Student
Council (SSC) election in Kalinga State University, from data collection procedure to counting
of the votes is a manual process. In this paper, the researchers are proposing an automated
electronic voting system. It starts with automated registration system that will provide a secured
database of the voters’ information. Voter’s personal information will be stored in the main
database which may be accessed by the election committee but not authorized to modify or
change the details.
Among the important features of this system is the use of personal computers in
canvassing and counting of votes that takes lesser time and less costly than the manual system.
So the result will be faster, more accurate and reliable.
