E-Voting System

As the name suggests, the e-voting system is an application that needs to be implemented for casting of votes by the people from anywhere in the world and at anytime. All of you have experienced the current voting system that is in practice. People go to the polling places, stand in long queues and caste their valuable votes. This is a hectic and a tiring task. Some people who stay abroad will not be able to cast their votes since only for the sake of casting votes they need to come to their hometown. The e- voting system will benefit such people who will not be able to cast their votes.

The features that can be included in the e-voting system are as follows:

People database management: The details of the people like name, age, poll booth and many other details can be stored in the database through this application.
Online vote: The people can cast their votes through the online mode.

We see many old people who will not be able to walk come to the polling places to cast their votes. People living abroad will be having a desire to cast their votes but it will not be possible for them to do so. At all these situations, the e-voting system comes into picture where no one will be having a reason to waste their valuable votes. This application will help the government to work better but also provides a chance for the people to enjoy a modern way of voting system. This application can be also applicable to the voting that take place in schools and colleges where the students can cast their votes through this application. This e-voting system can also be implemented in the organizations where the employees will be able to cast their votes regarding the new policy or rule that should be followed by everyone.
