2. AIM OF THE PROJECT:
As we know in urban areas now a day the voting system is getting most complicated only because of
the person’s identity.
They only have the voting card as a proof of identification. So, there are lots of chances of fake voting.
To avoid this we are developing this project which will store the identity of the voters using android
or web application This system will get OTP for login using voters ID and match verify stored
database.
After that OTP (One- Time Password) is generated and send to the voters registered mobile number.
Then the voter is validated and he is allowed to do the voting. This is very fast and helpful technique
to do the verification of the voters.
This will also reduce voter’s time to stand in queue for doing vote
3. Online Student Voting System Using Android App the advancement in technology has
revolutionized various aspects of our lives, including the way we conduct elections. In
the context of college elections, traditional methods of voting can be time-consuming,
inefficient, and prone to errors. To overcome these challenges, an Android app-based
college voting system has been proposed. Our proposed system is online college voting
system, that will store the identity of the voting using android application This system
will get OTP for login using Student_ID with linked mobile number. After that OTP
(One- Time Password) is generated and sent to the Student registered mobile number.
Then the Student is validated and he/she is allowed to do the voting. This is very fast
and helpful technique to do the verification of the voters. This will also reduce voter’s
time to stand in queue for doing vote.
ABSTRACT
4. EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing system is a manual and the paper based voting system, which is
voted on paper and counted manually. There are no specific websites dedicated
to colleges who can participate voting from any location . There are many
applications on e-voting for political parties, but there are only few web
applications which are used for voting, or general questions or college-related
topics questions. The main problem with existing system was time-consuming
which wants to take lot of your time for voting.
5. Dis-Advantages:
Limited Access: Not all students may have access to a mobile phone or reliable network
connectivity, particularly in remote areas or among economically disadvantaged groups.
This could lead to exclusion from the voting process.
Security Concerns: While SMS OTP provides a basic level of security, it is not foolproof.
OTPs can be intercepted or stolen, leading to potential fraudulent voting activities.
Privacy Concerns: Collecting mobile phone numbers for OTP verification raises privacy
concerns among students, especially if there is uncertainty about how their data will be
used or protected.
Technical Issues: Issues such as network congestion, delays in SMS delivery, or system
downtimes could affect the voting process, leading to frustration among voters and
potentially compromising the integrity of the election.
6. PROPOSED SYSTEM
In the first step the registration process is done by the Student through an
application. Then in the second step the application will start its process. Here we
use already existed database or centralized database, which contains Student’s
information with linked mobile number. Server sends the OTP (One-Time
Password) to the Student’s registered mobile number. Then Student enters that
OTP, then database again verifies that entered OTP by Student and if it is correct
that means it is valid user. After that the candidate’s list will appears. This list
contains the candidate name and in front of that name the button named ‘Vote’ is
provided. Student should have to press that button then only the voting is done
and the voting procedure is completed.
7. Advantages:
Convenience: Students can vote from anywhere, as long as they have access to a mobile
phone with network connectivity.
Increased Participation: By allowing students to vote remotely, participation rates may
increase as it removes barriers such as physical presence on campus.
Reduced Costs: Compared to traditional paper-based voting systems, an online system
can potentially reduce costs associated with printing, distribution, and manpower.
Efficiency: Vote counting can be automated, saving time and reducing the likelihood of
errors associated with manual counting.
Verification: SMS OTP provides an additional layer of security by ensuring that only
registered students with access to their mobile phones can vote.

10. CONCLUSION:
An online college voting system with SMS OTP verification offers numerous
advantages, including convenience, increased participation, reduced costs, efficiency,
and an additional layer of security. However, it also presents several disadvantages,
such as limited access, security concerns, privacy issues, technical challenges,
vulnerability to manipulation, complexity for some users, the risk of system failures,
and regulatory compliance requirements. To address these drawbacks, careful
planning, robust security measures, user education, and continuous monitoring are
essential. Additionally, providing alternative voting methods can help ensure
inclusivity and fairness in the voting process. Despite its limitations, with proper
safeguards in place, an online college voting system using SMS OTP verification can
contribute to making elections more accessible, efficient, and secure in educational
institutions.
