D. Research Objective
The main aim of our project is to overcome the drawback
of existing voting system that to cast a vote voter has to go
to the polling booth in which he/she has registered. EVoting System will allow a voter to vote from anywhere
irrespective of the place and ward.
Our moto is to develop such a framework that is secure and
trusted, that verifies the valid user without any suspect. It
should support multi user environment system and keep
track of all the detail and description of the client. This
system will contain various reports and well managed
documents regarding the election process. One important

thing is that it should be able to handle and manage
extremely large amount of data and records.
The e voting system works as follows:
Objectives of Project:

5) Minimize costs to government
5) Form 8A (Transposition within assembly).

IV. CONCLUSION
Proposed methodology will enable voters to cast their vote
online through Internet. Voters will not be needed to go to
voting booth. They can vote from anywhere It will also
enable voters to register themselves online. The proposed
system is secure and faster than existing system. Problem
of fake voting is also eliminated.
The E Voting System will help to reduce human errors as
the whole system is automated.
