1. INTRODUCTION AND ITS BACKGROUND
Background of the Study
Technological advancement has paved its way to a whole new world. Modernization
allows organizations to achieve greater levels of productivity, efficiency and service delivery.
Overly simplified and uncomplicated jobs and business nowadays have become achievable.
Many fields are using automation to stay competitive, they create new products and services
to make life easier and innovative. Indeed, technology is such a great help in our society for
it discovers a lot of new knowledge, tools, materials and systems.
The modern times has various kinds of systems that affect everyday life. Some
examples include transaction processing systems, decision support systems, knowledge
management systems, learning management systems, database management systems and
office information systems. To add to this long list is automated electoral voting systems.
In relation to this, election is an event that occurs occasionally in almost every part of
the world. It is a formal decision-making process which represents democracy where its
main purpose is to allow the voters to express their political views by making choices -
between parties and/or candidates. Electoral voting system has been a game-changing
innovation because of a long history of fraud and flaws in elections prior to the computer
age.
In life there is no greater pursuit than having the right to be heard. This gives the
citizens the opportunity to voice out their needs and provide the new guidelines for future
government action. Past elections had been done the traditional way, that is, in the form of
paper ballots. It is considered convenient because of the use of familiar types of writing

implement, either by pen or pencil. On the other hand, it also has many disadvantages
including but not limited to susceptibility to fraud, lengthy procedures, computing errors,
and intensive use of human and material resources. New technology for elections poses
several advantages. First, it encourages more voters to participate and exercise their rights.
It also speeds up the election process closing the windows of opportunity for unscrupulous
people to alter results to favor their own candidates. Furthermore, it enables the electorate
to monitor ongoing results until the very last vote is cast. Real-time result is just a click away.
The new technology may not be perfect, but it is a continuing effort for innovation.
Thus, the researchers proposed a “Voting System for AMA Computer College
Batangas” to answer the school’s need for a reliable, advanced, accurate and secured system
and resolve stressful issues brought about by the elections. The automated voting system is
an attempt to prevent delayed results, eliminate human error, save resources and keep track
of records among other things.
Current Situation
As of today, AMA Computer College Batangas elections is considered to be flawed, due
to the manual and unorganized way of voting.
The process has been exhausting resulting to dissatisfied students and stressed
personnel in-charge. There are several issues encountered by the school during the electoral
process. First is the issue of time management. Due to the manual process, it takes a lot of
time for students to cast their votes causing the delay of announcing the results. Moreover,
the tabulation itself is stressful as it is time-consuming because ballots are counted manually.
This, in turn, can lead to miscalculation due to human error. The school also wants to

eliminate using too much resources. Traditionally, paper, ballot boxes and ink pads etc. are
needed. Misuse of materials is inevitable because some students tend to make mistakes while
writing on the ballot. Lastly, there are times that ballots are even altered because of the lack
of security. With these in mind, the researchers decided to conduct this study and develop a
Voting System for AMA Computer College Batangas using PHP and MySQL.
1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Purpose of the study
The study aims to help the students exercise their rights to elect the student council
officials in an efficient manner, to significantly reduce the time and effort spent in counting
votes, and to secure election results. Objectives of the Study The objectives are divided into
general and specific as listed below:
General Objective
The main objective of the study is to promote the integrity of AMA Computer College
by designing a Voting System to ensure efficient and accurate results of the student council
elections.
Specific Objectives
By the end of the research project, the proponents should be able to:
To create a fully-functional voting system that also provides a standardized
registration of students and candidates.
To ensure accurate tallies of votes and other election-related information.

To incorporate a user-friendly interface for ease of use and accessibility.
To ensure an efficient progression of the election process and produce
reliable election results.
To ensure data integrity and prevent election fraud by way of tampering
results, casting multiple votes, etc.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
Scope
Generally, the study focuses on the development of an automated voting system for
the student council election by the college and senior high school students of AMA Computer
College Batangas. It is designed to be deployed via a local area network. The system allows
only the admin to register students using their USN. This task which involves a large number
of student data is made easier by the use of CSV. The admin will then provide a unique
password to each of the student-voters.
The admin can create teacher admins to help hasten the registration/activation of
student accounts. Without the activation from the admin/s, the students will not be able to
access the system. This is an added security enabled by the system to prevent students from
using USN other than his or hers. Only after activation users can cast their votes. A student
can vote only once with the system. Any succeeding attempts to vote using his or her USN
will result to an error message informing the user that the voting token has already been
used up for that account. The admin also manages, edits, deletes and updates all the
candidates and students. The system has high security features to reduce false votes.

Limitations
This system is designed for the AMACC Batangas branch only. It does not support
open forums.
1.2 PROJECT EXECUTION SUMMARY
This section provides a description of the AMACC Batangas Student Council Voting System
for SHS and College from a management perspective and an overview of the framework
within which the conceptual system design was prepared. If appropriate, include the
information discussed in the subsequent sections in the summary.
1.2.1 System Overview
The proposed system was implemented using several languages including: HTML
(Hyper Text Markup Language) and CSS (Cascaded Style Sheet) to create the registration
forms and to build the website layouts. The other languages used were PHP and MYSQL,
which allowed the creation of the system databases and enabled data to be stored, edited
and retrieved from the databases.
The voting system designed was based on open list voting; where voters can choose
to give their votes to a specific political group or to a specific candidate.
In the navigation bar of the website there is a small description about the client which
is AMA, the developers and the voting system. The voting system can be logged on to three
different user accounts: as Administrator, College and Senior High. The Administrator
accesses the system using a given user-name and password. All system databases are
protected by a password which is known only by the system administrator. The

administrator is responsible for manipulating the voters’ and candidates’ information. In the
registration process, the main admin can make multiple teacher admin in order to fasten the
registration/activation of the students. All student voters and candidates should be
registered in the database before the election date
On the day of the election, The Administrator will generate a unique password for
each batch of student. These passwords will be used by the students along with their USN to
access their account.
The student voters are allowed to vote only once. When the voter selects a specific
candidate and clicks the Vote command button, the vote will be added successfully. If the
students tried to access or vote twice it will only appear as error. The proposed voting system
efficiently counts the total number of votes for each candidate. With this automation, the
results and the reports can be easily viewed by the admin in a span of time.
1.2. 2 Design Constraints
Design can be divided into architectural (preliminary) design and detailed design. In
the architectural design phase, the overall design for the software was developed, allocating
all the requirements to software components. In detailed design, the architectural design
was expanded to the unit level. Constraints and system resource limits were re-estimated
and analyzed, and staffing and test resources were validated.
1.2.3 Future Contingencies
In this paper, the proposed system basically focuses on voting system that will prove
handy in the future. As the numbers of smart-phone users are rising exponentially, most of

the world population will own a smart phone. So, there’s a possibility that a system will work
on smart phones using the finger print scanning functionality embedded in the voters. In this
system, a user can create their own unique voting ballot.
1.3 DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION
The voting system designed was based on open list voting; where voters can choose
to give their votes to a specific political group or to a specific candidate.
1.4 POINTS OF CONTACT
AMACC Batangas will provide a person or team that handles all request for a
particular SC voting facilitator, service desk, and location.
SC facilitator
SC facilitator will facilitate the voting event of AMACC Batangas and assess the voters
for smooth voting process.
Service Desk
An IT department offers a service desk that can handle any service support request.
IT inquiries, problems, administrative requests or security concerns about voting.
Locations
AMACC Batangas offers a laboratory room for the voting event.

1.6 GLOSSARY
The terms listed below are defined operationally and conceptually to give further
information about the study:
CSS. Stands for Cascading Style Sheets, it is designed primarily to enable the
separation of presentation and content. It is most often used to set the visual style of web
pages and user interfaces. CSS was used by the developers to separate layouts, colors, and
fonts as well as to categorize the commands.
CSV. It is a comma-separated values file which allows data to be saved in a table
structured format. CSVs look like a garden-variety spreadsheet but with a .csv extension. It
was used in the system to add or edit large amount of data.
Database. It is a collection of information that is organized so that it can be easily
accessed, managed and updated. Database was used to store large amount of data needed by
the system.
HTML. Short for Hypertext Markup Language, it is a language used for the
specification for structural mark up. HTML was used by the developers to create forms in the
server-side for entering, updating and viewing the system in a user-friendly environment.
Java Script. It is a programming language used, in context of web sites, to implement behavior
function to a page on client side. It was used by the developers to make the website dynamic,
interactive and user- friendly.

LAN-based system. It is a group of computers and associated devices that share a
common communications line or wireless link to a server. LAN is used to link different
computers in one room and make it only limited to the client.
MySQL. It is an open source relational database management system. It runs as a
server and allows multiple users to manage and create numerous databases. MySQL was
used by the developers in creating and managing the files or databases and manipulating the
information of the system.7
PHP. It is a widely used, general-purpose scripting language that was designed for
web development to produce dynamic web pages. PHP was used by the developers because
it is easy to manage and can be mixed into HTML files.
XAMPP. It is a simple, lightweight Apache distribution that makes it extremely easy
for developers to create a local web server for testing and deployment purposes. XAMPP is
used as our local server while developing PHP sites.
2. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
In this section, describe the system and/or subsystem(s) architecture for the AMACC
Batangas Student Council Voting System for SHS and College.
2.1 System Hardware Architecture
Specification. The system requirements for the LAN-based voting system, classified into
hardware and software requirements, are specified below to ensure that the system will
function correctly. The system requires an Internet browser to run the system. The hardware

requirement is a laptop or equivalent machine with the used and recommended

2.3 Internal Communications Architecture
PHP and MySQL were used to develop the front end and back end applications
respectively. The system operates using XAMPP server platform which supports
components for the following packages used in the system: Apache, MySQL and PHP. The
Apache web-server operates the full software. PHP is a scripting language that can
manipulate information stored in the database and generate dynamic web pages against it.
The system networks will be isolated to ensure voters are not able to access to
internal services, and segment most critical AMACC voting components in different
networks. By this way:

1) Voters are only able to connect to the Front-End, which will be managing the
voter’s requests to the Authentication Service and the Vote Collector Server.
2) Return Code Generators will not be connected to the Public Network Domain,
and they are only connected to the AMACC voting Collection Domain through a specific VPN
to the Vote Collector Servers.
3) Each one of the components from the AMACC voting isolated Domain
(cleansing, mixing, and counting) shall be isolated from any other components from any
domain.
3. FILE AND DATABASE DESIGN
The MySQL database manager uses PhpMyAdmin for its graphical interface and is an
open-source database which stores files requested by the browser.
The database design is one of the delicate activities of the development of software.
In brief, this database was designed using MySQL with the help of relational model approach.
The following Entity Relationship Diagram were designed to store the respective values as
follows:

ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM
3.1 Database Management System Files
The database design is one of the delicate activities of the development of software. Hence
it occurs in two steps. We began by developing a logical database model which describes
data using a notation that corresponds to the data organization. In brief, this database was
designed using MySQL ver. Mysqlnd 5.0.12-dev 20150407 with the help of relational model

approach. The following relational tables were designed to store the respective values as
follows:
1. ci_sessions.sql
This table created for data storage of session where data was use for session handle
every page.
2. College/senior_part_list.sql
This relational table is responsible for storing of all the college and senior high party
list created by the admin as per the request of the vendors.
3. College/senior_candidates.sql

This relational table is responsible for storing of all the list of college and senior high
candidates created by the admin user.
4. College/senior_position.sql
This relational table is responsible for storing candidates position and also storing
the collated results of all the elections cast, and then allow the system to retrieve them on
demand.

5. voting_event.sql
This relational table is responsible for handling votes of students in order to compute
the results of SC voting events in AMACC Batangas.
5. users.sql and password.sql
User Master table contains the lists of all user accounts ever created in the system. It also
serves as a data source for authenticating user credentials.

3.2 Non-Database Management System Files
This is the AMACC Batangas SC voting system for SHS and College main file that
encompasses the entire database.
TABLE:
A table is a collection of data related to a single topic and a database is a collection of
tables. Like AMACC SC voting database may comprise a no. of tables such as users,
candidates, party list, position, voting event, and results.
RECORDS:
AMACC Batangas SC voting system record is the information related to one entity. A
table is made up of a no. of rows or records. Each record or row of SC candidates’ details
table would contain data of a specific party list.
FIELDS:
Field is the individual sub component of one record. Each database table of AMACC voting
is partitioned into one or more fields. Fields are different categories within a table.
The FIELD NAME is a program variable associated with this field. This name should be
meaningful and a single token(no blanks).

4. HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE
Human-machine interface of AMACC Batangas SC voting system provide a graphic
depiction among the elements of a system. It is a methodology used in system analysis to
identify, clarify, and organize system requirement.

4.1 Inputs
The inputs include all the resources and technical knowledge to develop the system.
One of the inputs identified were published and unpublished works from different sources
such as books, past studies of undergraduate students and the Internet. A questionnaire
served as a guide when identifying the requirements of the proposed system. Evaluation
form was also essential to evaluate the software product.
The proponents also applied development tools that are free and opensource. Since
the website contains dynamic pages, it is necessary to use PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
(PHP) which is embedded into HTML. In addition, MySQL was used for the back-end
application.
The researchers used the Iterative model to convert the requirements
into a final working system. This is explained full in figure 4.1.1.
Conceptual Framework of AMACC Voting System
Figure 4.1.1

4.2 Outputs
Data Flow Diagram (DFD). The DFD captures the main components of the information
system and represents the flow of data between them. More specifically, it is a graphical
technique that depicts the flow of information and the processes involved in transforming
inputs to outputs. It is conceptual rather than technical in the level of abstraction
components are presented. This is explained full in figure 4.2.1.

5. DETAILED DESIGN
These sections provide the information needed for an AMACC Batangas SC voting
system development team to actually build and integrate the hardware components, code

and integrate the software modules, and interconnect the hardware and software segments
into a functional product. Additionally, this section addresses the detailed procedures for
combining separate COTS packages into a single system. Every detailed requirement should
map back to the FRD, and the mapping should be presented in an update to the RTM and
include the RTM as an appendix to this design document.
5.1 Hardware Detailed Design
System Hardware Specification - Detailed specifications of the non-COTS hardware
components of the system, including hardware characteristics, design, and construction.

5.2Software Detailed Design
Identification of all COTS hardware and software products and communications
services used in the development and/or operation of the voting system, identifying the
name, manufacturer, and version used for each such component, including:
 Operating systems
 XAMPP
 MySQL Database
 Web Server
 Internet Browser
This is explained full in figure 5.2.1.
Software Detailed Design of AMACC Voting System

5.3 Internal Communications Detailed Design

AMACC SC voting interfaces among internal components, and interfaces with external
systems. For components that interface with other components for which multiple products
may be used, the TDP shall provide an identification of:
 File specifications, data objects, or other means used for information exchange
 The public standard used for such file specifications, data objects, or other means
This is explained full in figure 5.3.1.

6. EXTERNAL INTERFACES
Based to the LAN-based voting system as shown in Figure 6.1, there are two
interfaces, the admin and the student. According to this theory, the system provides a
convenient interface and environment for the election administrator and the students for
the improvement of the voting process and data keeping.

Program Flowchart. A flowchart is a diagram that depicts a process, system or
computer algorithm. They are widely used in multiple fields to document, study, plan,
improve and communicate often complex processes in clear, easy-to-understand
diagrams. Flowcharts use different shapes to define the type of step, long wit
connecting arrows to define flow and sequence.




6.2 Interface Detailed Design
The following are the sample screens of the individual interfaces that comprise the
web application.

7. SYSTEM INTEGRITY CONTROLS
Integration Testing. It is a logical extension of unit testing. In its simplest form, two
units that have been previously tested are combined into a component and the interface
between them is tested. A component, in this sense, refers to an integrated aggregate of more
than one unit. In a realistic scenario, many units are combined into components, which in
turn aggregate into even larger parts of the program.
During the integration testing, the developers were able to examine the different
aspects of the system working as a whole: user interface, data entry, logic, validation,
architecture, and database. To carry out the software product’s integration testing, the full
working system was tested against its database in a simulated service-oriented architecture.
The application was accessed from different laptops with preinstalled XAMPP server. All the
links in the system correctly directed the user to the target windows, the design and layout
remained consistent throughout the system and the codes were functioning properly as well.
Data entry was performed by submitting forms that have been filled with data to check the
consistency between the data entries and the resulting state of the database. By testing
through data entry, the developers were able to confirm that the back-end application
successfully received and processed inputs and returned the precise result of computation
and data manipulation to the client application. In conclusion, information flowed correctly
from one module to another.
The system ensures data integrity and prevents election fraud by way of tampering
results, casting multiple votes by a single user, etc.
