Abstract

One basic feature of democracy is that it cuts across all divides of people in the act of election. It also encourages individual freedom according to the rule of law; hence people may behave and express themselves as they choose. This paper examines the development and implementation of and Electronic Voting System (EVS) that enables voters to cast their votes online and also enables the officials to register voters and print out the results of the votes casted. It equally provides security such that voters can only vote once with their identification details. The system therefore eliminates common fraud, speed up the processing of results, increase accessibility and make voting more convenient for the citizenry.
