This document summarizes a final year project that designed and implemented a web-based political party membership and campaign management system for Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), Tanzania's dominant ruling party. The system allows members to register online, pay membership fees via mobile money, and receive campaign notifications by SMS. It also includes modules for events, posts, payments, notifications, and generates reports and statistics. The project aimed to facilitate faster and more affordable information sharing between the party and its members compared to previous manual methods. The system was tested to validate user permissions and event registration. In conclusion, it was recommended that the system could also be used on mobile platforms and to manage members for other organizations beyond political parties.
