Description
The Internet has caused an evolution in how people socialize, work, and do
business. The emergence and improvement in cloud computing and web
technologies make interactions and remote processes possible. This
advancement has presented an opportunity for the people and their
representatives to meet during the voting process. Voting is making a choice
or decision within a particular group. However, the conventional voting
process that uses the paper-based approach faces the challenges of multiple
voting, overvoting, cost, high voting fraud, and delay in declaring election
results due to long counting times. Various methods have been proposed to
overcome the multiple challenges prevalent in the traditional voting system.
This paper proposes an antibot-based web voting platform that enables voters
to vote within any location. It uses the hash technique and the antibot
checking features to enforce security and voters’ confidentiality. PHP and
HTML languages were used to implement the front-end of the system. SQL
database and the Apache server were used for the back-end. On
implementation and testing, our system shows good security enhancement
and a reduction in the time consumed for counting and declaring election
results.
