The document describes an online voting system developed by the State Election Commission of Gujarat, India. The key objectives of the online voting system (OVS) are to authenticate voters, ensure the integrity and non-traceability of votes cast, and maintain the reliability and availability of the voting system while minimizing costs for the government. The system allows voters to cast their votes online from their homes or e-polling booths using a computer with internet connectivity and required software. It involves a three step process of online registration, account activation, and online voting on the election day by logging in and selecting candidates on the ballot paper.
