ONLINE SOCIETIES ELECTION VOTING SYSTEM FOR APU STUDENT DEVELOPMENT USING E-LEARNING METHODS IN MALAYSIA IT INDUSTRY

In this paper, the research will be more focusing on The methods for voting and elections system for universities, there are two method for casting vote and that is link based and paper based voting system. A voter usually goes to access the given link to vote after register or goes to the voting stations after direct person-person verification with some IDs, the voter is allowed to vote. The voter is then given a ballot which allows a single vote. Once the ballot is used, it cannot be used again. However, this ballot must also be anonymous. The ballot must identify the voter as being permitted to vote, but not reveal their actual identity, and the voter must also be given assurances of this. Traditional polling methods trust a lot of parties during the election. The current methods require an attacker interact directly with the voting process to disrupt it. The existing method is a paper-based method consist of many problems. Firstly, most of the students think it is a waste of time to go and cast the vote because it is time consuming and it does not provide the accurate statistics on voting history. The manual voting consumes almost 4-6 hours (approximately) for every voter which is surely not bearable. (J. M. Nzoka, N. M. Muthama, and N. M. Mung’ithya) The existing system has a problem of fraud and chances of manipulation of the result. Also, there are some disable and duty-bond people who do not have access to voting booth. To overcome all the problems mentioned above, an online election and voting system for APU is proposed. (Fabio Muniz 2016) Mostly, polling place is assigned in the classes. This is often based on several factors, including the number of voters in each precinct, size/location of the polling place facilities and the expected voter turnout for each polling place. Voters must have their student ID card for casting vote. In this paper we proposed Online Societies Election Voting System will have some deliverables. Such as, admin will be able to add and delete the students/voters and candidates. Candidates will be able to select the position and add their campaign to get the votes. Lastly, voters can view the candidates list and their campaigns to decide who to vote. The web application would be efficient, the process will be shorter, it will be less time consuming and cost-free system.
