2.Electronic voting machine1.Ballot System
Electronic voting machines are currently used for vote casting. These systems
allow the user to cast his vote reducing possible errors like wrong candidate
selections and loss of votes, reducing manual work during counting. Still these
have the drawbacks.

SYSTEM
1.Queue for Vote 2.Travel to Vote 3.Elederly people

5. PROPOSED SYSTEM
• Enabling the voter to vote with absolute confidentiality, nobody will
ever know what he/she voted.
• Enabling the voter to vote from anywhere in the globe, wherever he/she
will be, and without needing any special Network, nor equipment ,nor a
personal computer(PC).
• Enabling only the voter to vote, avoiding the possibility to “sell a vote”.
Vote at
•Any Time
•Any Where
•Any Mobile

6. • Uses Speech recognition technique to handle user requests and response.
• The system is designed as such to be interactive and user friendly.
• The voter is allowed to cast their vote or to know the results depending
upon their choice of selection.
• The system authenticates the user using security information’s like
biometric id, voter id, year of birth, pin code.
FEATUERS OF PROPOSED
SYSTEM

7. • In India all earlier elections be it state elections or centre elections a voter
used to cast his/her vote to his/her favorite candidate by putting the stamp
against his/her name and then folding the ballot paper as per a prescribed
method before putting it in the Ballot box. This is a long, time-consuming
process and very much prone to errors.
• This method wanted voters to be skilled voters to know how to put a
stamp, and methodical folding of ballot paper. Millions of paper would be
printed and heavy ballot boxes would be loaded and unloaded to and from
ballot office to polling station.
• A vote once recorded in an EVM cannot be tampered with, where as in the
ballot paper system the votes marked and put into the box can be pulled out
and destroyed.
INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

8. .
• The followings are requirements that should be considered for secure and
trustworthy e-voting.
- The relation between voter and vote content should not be revealed.
- The result of a poll should be retained as a secret before counting the
ballot.
- A voter can cast his vote just one time.
- Only an identified person by an e-voting device can participate in e-
voting.
- Other people excepting a voter himself should not know the vote content.
- It is not permitted to rig the ballot.

9. • IVRS:
The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System serves as a bridge between
people and computer databases by connecting the telephone network with
the database.
The IVR system uses pre-recorded or computer generated voice responses
to provide information in response to an input from a telephone caller.
• VOICEXML:
VoiceXML (VXML) is the W3C's standard XML format for specifying
interactive voice dialogues between a human and a computer.
OVERVIEW OF MOBILE
TECHNOLOGY

10. VoiceXML ARCHITECTURE

11. VXML COMPONENTS
• PSTN -Public Switched Telephone Network
The network which is used for connecting telephone calls. PSTN is the
world's collection of interconnected voice-oriented public telephone
networks, both commercial and government-owned.
• TTS-Text To Speech Engine
Text to speech is a way of playing dynamic text to user where as the .wav
file will play only static (recorded) message.
For example if you want to play standard greeting message "Welcome to
Mobile Voting" then we can play greeting .wav to the customer. If we want
to play the current balance of your bank account then it is better to go with
TTS. Just pass the text and it will convert that to voice and that will be
played to the Voter.
VXML COMPONENTS

12. • JSP may be viewed as a high-level abstraction of Java servlets. JSP pages
are loaded in the server and operated from a structured special installed
Java server packet called a Java EE Web Application, often packaged as
a .war or .ear file archive.
• JSP allows Java code and certain pre-defined actions to be interleaved
with static web markup content, with the resulting page being compiled
and executed on the server to deliver an HTML or XML document.
• JSP syntax is a fluid mix of two basic content forms: scriptlet elements and
markup. Markup is typically standard HTML or XML, while scriptlet
elements are delimited blocks of Java code which may be intermixed with
the markup.
JSP OVERVIEW

13. • Using Java for outputting VXML offers you several
advantages.
 Flexibility.
 Reactivity
 Extensibility.
• For creating a dynamic VoiceXML, you include two types
of files:
 Static VoiceXML page
 Dynamic JavaServer Page

14. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

15. • Voting Device (Mobile/Land Phone):
In our scheme, the voting device corresponds to the mobile equipment
(ME), which consists of a SIM card.
• Authentication Centre (AC):
AC is an entity within the GSM network.AC generates the authentication
parameters and authenticates the mobile equipment. Apart from
authenticating the mobile equipment, AC is also an important information
distribution server in the proposed scheme. AC needs to be trusted to
transfer the messages as required.
SERVER MODULE DISCREPTION

16. • Verification Server (VS):
VS belong to the voting authority, who organizes the voting event. It
verifies the legitimacy of the voter and issues a voting token to the voter.
VS also publish a list of voter information.
• Collecting and Counting Server (CS):
CS is the server that collects and counts the votes to give the final
result. CS’s action need to be audited by all candidate parties.

17. In this section, we outline our mobile voting scheme.
• Voters Authentication Phase:
In this phase Election commission is responsible to verify the authenticity
of the voters. If the voter is authentic then only he will be allowed to
participate in the next steps of voting.
• Voting Phase:
In this phase, the voter dial a designated phone number and follow the
instructions using a password already provided.
 The voter selects the appropriate option to vote the particular party.
 The voter checks the signature and retrieves the VS- signed voter, voter
ID.
PHAGES OF MOBILE VOTING
SCHEMES

18. • Counting Phase:
Counting Phase At the scheduled time of counting CS decrypts the ballot
and checks whether the voting token is valid or not. If it is valid it will be
counted else it will be rejected.
• Security Analysis
 Authentication only the authorized voters can vote.
 Privacy all votes remain secret while the voting takes place and each
individual vote cannot be linked to the voter who casts it.

22. • White Box Testing:
 By using this technique it was tested that all the individual logical paths
were executed at least once.
 All the logical decisions were tested on both their true and false sides
• UNIT TESTING:
 This is the first and the most important level of testing. As soon as the
programmer develops a unit of code the unit is tested for various scenarios.
 As the application is built it is much more economical to find and eliminate
the bugs early on. Hence Unit Testing is the most important of all the
testing levels.
TESTING

23. • INTEGRATION TESTING:
 Since Integration Testing focuses on Integration of components and
components can be built by different developers and even different
development teams, it is important the right versions of components are
tested.
• SYSTEM TESTING(Black Box Testing):
 By the use of this technique the missing functions were identified and
placed in their positions.
 The errors in the interfaces were identified and corrected.
 This technique was also used to identify the initialization and termination
errors and correct them.

24. ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED
SYSTEM
• Improve accessibility to elderly people, disabled and blind peoples.
• Increased participation rate.
• Improve accessibility to people living abroad or travelling at voting time.
• Reduces voting costs.

25. • Electronic failures might occur with such a system.
• Other generation may not be comfortable in using the system.
DISADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED
SYSTEM

26. • This system allows the user to cast his vote with high level of
confidentiality and keep voters away from the possible threats like booth
capturing and it may increase the voter turnouts in remote areas and even
in urban areas.
• Since the system operates on IVR platform the voter session will be
interactive and user friendly which makes the user to feel in a very
comfortable zone. The system provides security features like checking the
unique identification number of the voter.
CONCLUSION

27. • As a measure of security features mobile devices allows the
user to make use of biometric information’s which are unique
to individuals.
For example voice biometrics can be used with voiceXML to
authenticate a user. Similarly finger prints can also be used
with mobiles that provide those options.
