COLLEGE VOTING SYSTEM

The VOTE PLUS objective is to provide a system which manages the election activity done in a college or a school and its calculation of total vote which is very huge. The users will consume less amount of time when compared to manual paper work through the automated system. The system will take care of all the election activity like voting, adding the candidates name, result, counting of votes in a quick manner. Data storing is easier. It will be able to check the number of votes for each candidate. Paper work and manual work is reduced. The system is user friendly and easy to use. All the votes will be stored in the database and it avoids any miscalculation. Scope: This project is helpful to computerize the voting activities, modification in any candidates name and it is very helpful in calculating the votes implied for each candidate. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The VOTE PLUS software is based on an election activity for each student voting for a particular candidate he wishes to.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: Processor: Intel dual core or above Processor Speed:1.0GHZ or above RAM: 1 GB RAM or above Hard Disk: 20 GB hard disk or above

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: Language: Microsoft Visual Studio Database: Ms Access

CONCLUSION: Vote plus software developed for a school or to a college has been designed to achieve maximum efficiency and reduce the time taken to handle the Election activity. It is designed to replace an existing manual record system thereby reducing time taken for calculations and for storing data. The system uses VB .Net as front end and Ms Access as a backend for the database. The system is strong enough to withstand regressive yearly operations under conditions where the database is maintained and cleared over a certain time of span. The implementation of the system in the organization will considerably reduce data entry, time and also provide readily calculated reports.
