Abstract

Voting process is at the center of every democratic society. Conventional electoral processes can be laborious and time consuming particularly in the third world nations. Accuracy, integrity and Security of voting processes are also of great concern in these countries. Furthermore, countries all over the world are now exploring the e-voting system in their electioneering process, for it has stunning advantages over conventional paper voting, including security for casting votes, accuracy and analysis of votes. With electronic voting, the problems with the traditional system of voting (ballot paper) such as transparency of the electoral process, securing polling stations and the man power needed, all these issues will be mitigated. Electronic voting system could help increase the efficacy and transparency of electoral processes and support free and fair election. However, the implementation of e-voting system has also been characterized with flaws and associated risks.

Thus, this paper seeks to address the problem associated with the adoption and implementation of e-voting systems in developing countries. The paper delve into various e-voting Architectures, security protocols and the implementation in developed countries with a view to providing a framework for implementing a faster and secured e-voting System in developing countries.
