Abstract
Voting is key in maintaining the structure of society. Voting aids in making a choice
in situations where there are multiple options pertaining to a decision being made. The most
popular form of voting is the paper-ballot system where voters cast their votes by imprinting
their fingerprints on special ballot papers. However, with the rise in technology which seeks
to make life better, there have been various attempts to automate the voting process to reduce
time spent on casting votes and counting results to determine the winner. This project seeks
to build a voting application on smartphones using Ashesi University College as a case
study. This application makes use of certain functionalities such as registering and verifying
users. The application also makes use of security features that prevent users from voting
more than once. This application will cater for general and special elections that go on
during the school year where the manual process falls short.
