Voting System

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1. 1 B ACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Students Union is asked to produce beyond its capacity. It would be implementful to incur a ballot (democratic) dodging to ensure that the Student Councils rulings ar not lost in an overload of demands and those scholarly persons union workload priorities match educatee priorities. One of the most crucial f pretendors for a voting formation to be successful is to exhibit a right to vote Protocol that buttocks prevent opportunities for hoax or for sacrificing the voters privacy.The suffrage Protocol that will be invented and implemented for this voting body will combine the advantages of existing protocols and techniques, while at the similar time it will aim at eliminating most of the identified deficiencies and problems. The voting trunk includes three actors elector, the voting frames operator, and the administrator. Eligible voters aim to testify themselves, assisted by the Administrator, before the elect(i p)ion day.The system ensures that hold on registered voters scum bag vote and vote only once on the resources day, and collects the cast votes and tally the results of the election. Voter privacy is somehow maintained and vote tampering is prevented in this system. 1. 1. Historical background Since the San Miguel subject proud trail started to elect their SSG officers, they capture been using manual voting system, where they have to theatrical role more time just to prepare the materials for the election.The election will start by observance the advert of name of the candidates, giving the exact number of sample ballots in every break rooms, and disposing one ballot calamity in each class rooms. The San Miguel study High take always elect officers every tertiary calendar week of February for every year just to ensure that there will be person to watch the students during the vacation. 1. 1. 1 Organizational Chart expect vermiform appendix A 1. 1. 3 Organizational Function President-the highest-ranking member of an presidencyVice President-an official rank downstairs a president, who can take the presidents place if necessary. Secretary-somebody elected or appointed to keep records of the meetings of an organization such as a club, society, or committee, and to write or answer letters on its behalf. treasurer-somebody who manages the finances of an organization, usually the chief financial officers. Auditor-somebody who checks accounts or conducts an audit of an organization.PIO -somebody who make sure that the public, the media and every organization involved in the crisis are constantly informed on the progress being made to resolve the emergency at hand. Project Manager-somebody who matches available resources (time, silver and people) against business project aims Sergeant at Arms-somebody appointed to keep edict within an organization such as a legislative body or court of law, and to perform various another(prenominal) duties such as making arrest. Re applyatives-somebody who speaks, acts, or votes on behalf of others. 1. 2 preyives of the muse 1. 2. 1 General objective of the study To create an automatize voting system for San Miguel National High schooltime, to promote student use of technology in the election work on for the schools Student Council, thereof making their digital inclusion possible and viable, and to show that technology can facilitate the student participation in school purport and prepare them to become conscious and responsible citizens of the greater society. 1. 2. 2 Specific objective of the study * To diminish the time consume during the student council system. * To permit only worthy voters to vote and ensure that each eligible voter can vote only once. To reduce the manual procedure of task and to prevent compassionate error for someone to prepare the election each year. * The system should allow and assist voters to cast their votes quickly, in one session, and with minim al equipment or special skills. 1. 3 SCOPE AND DELIMITATION This proposed system is designed to provide fast and accurate students council election of San Miguel National High School. This voting system is undefendable in storing voters registration as well as calculates their votes for finalizing the winners of the election. All computations during the election are make in a reasonable metre of time.It will also provide a printed result of the election. 1. 4 Significance of the study An election is a decision-making process by which a population chooses an someone to hold formal office. Elections rely heavily on manual tallying and canvassing of votes thus making them vulnerable to assure and manipulation. To ensure a credible and vapourific electoral process, the modernization of the electoral system through computerization shall be supported to ensure the credibility of survey and correct the deficiencies in the electoral system.It is exceedingly fast, allowing obtaining final results in a matter of minutes. It has a very complete and user-friendly interface for system operators and as well as the voters. Furthermore, the challenge is to lift the students appreciation of their vote as a means to reform the administration and receive better services from it. This type of voting system encourages the students to promote suffrage. 1. 5 Summary of the study The proposed system will lessen their effort and time in reading, storing, and calculating of the students votes.It will be easier for COMELEC officer to conduct election in their school. It will provide accurate result of voting and fast type of automated election for the student council in San Miguel National High School. CHAPTER II CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK 2. 1 Theories used in analyzing the system The current voting management in students council election is manual, thus resulting in time consuming on part of the electoral officer. Everything need to be through with(p) on paper. All files are on t he envelope and transferring of files needs an effort of the electoral officers. We are now in age of the echnology. We should be able to use technology to a much greater extent it is in the current manual system. This encourage the proponents to conduct an inter regard, research and study to have an idea in making a system that can be used to easily store, calculate and finalized the result of automated election without the effort of election officer and the voters. The researchers finally come up with the Student Council Voting governing body which provides the LAN links to transfer and transmit the information of votes with high security and accuracy. 2. 2 Review of related studies Based on what Alecks P.Pabico said, Six old age ago, the idea of automated elections for student council posts in the University of the Philippines in Diliman was unimaginable, at least(prenominal) for me. It wasnt necessarily because we couldnt muster the technology and logistics, but there was j ust now n either a need nor a clamor for paperless voting. A lot of things have changed since then, and automated elections are no longer a thing of the noncurrent in UP Diliman. Now on its second year, and notwithstanding minor glitches in the system, electronic voting has proven to be a worthy progression in one of the basic democratic processes in modern society.Alecks got to UP a little past 2 p. m. last February 24, the day of the student council election this year. As a registered graduate student, he had made sure to drop by the campus to cast votes, first time to participate in the automated system on a university-wide scale. There was already a long queue outside the designated voting center at the College of Arts and Letters. Some students were waiting for their call to be located on the slant, while others were waiting for their turn at the computer terminals. There were no paper ballots or ballot boxes in sight. 2. 3 Findings on related studies and theories Accordin g to Alecks P.Pabico (a writer of the investigate motifing Magazine), for the more important aspects of the electoral process from voter registration, voting, vote counting to canvassing touches of contemporaneity have been an elusive as replies with substance from candidates. Yet for the most part the problem stems not from a lack of available technological solutions. A large computerized voting system encompassed the three major phases of the elections registration, voting and tabulation. Pilot tested in council elections in universities, it has proven to be an effective safe-guard against fraud and manipulation corresponding dag-dag bawas. . 4 Terms Adopted in the Study 2. 4. 1Technical harm Automated election system a system using appropriate technology for voting and electronic devices to count votes and canvass/consolidate results. estimator literacy-defined as the knowledge and ability to use computers and technology efficiently. info a collection of facts, figures, and statistics related to an object.

CHAPTER III ARCHITECTURIAL DESIGN 3. 1 The Existing arranging The existing system of San Miguel National High School when having a Student Supreme Government (SSG) election, all proceedings like voters registration and voting, is done manually. The election is held during the 3rd week of February for every year.To be one of the candidates for the election the student must have a grade of at least 85% and above. The student who is running for president must be a 3rd year student. During the election, the SMNHS COMELEC will prepare a sample ballots and a ballot box for each class room. To vote, the students have to write the names of the candidates for every position that they want to elect. For the validation of votes, every student will have to put feel marks on the sample ballots. After the election, the COMELEC, alon g with the SSG adviser, will count the votes one by one in front of the entire student. . 1. 1 Data Flow Diagram See appendix B 3. 2 Problem Identifications of the Existing System This section presents all the problems identified by the researchers after meeting place all data by means of interviewing the SSG Adviser of San Miguel National High School. 3. 2. 1 fork outation of the Problems The following are the problems identified by the researcher base on the gathered data. 3. 2. 1 . 1The process of counting the votes one by one is kind of time consuming process. 3. 2. 1 . 2The votes cannot be secured or can be falsifies. 3. 2. 1.

I t is included also the maintenance of the system in order to empty the redundancy of the voting and to keep the good proceeding of the system for the student of using automated election. The implementation of this proposed system though conditions will also be presented to insure it accuracy, capability in reaching the intended target, effective for producing a desire voters in the election, integrity and to further check the errors. . 2 Program Specification The Visual Basic 6. 0 was used by the system to develop the software programs. Visual Basic 6. 0 offers a file handling performance needed by the system and it is integrated with Microsoft Access 2013 on which the proposed design the database management system. 5. 3 Program Testing After all the modules of the program have been finished, the proposed system test is to see if the output is performed very well for the satisfaction of the user and to avoid the errors that will occur during the election day.Although the proposed system is simulation, the test showed that San Miguel National High School voting system performed the high standard, accuracy, and the reliability of the system. 5. 4 Security and Back Up plans The proposed system has own password for the intended user to protect the system from unauthorized access information. This system also provides an option to create back up copies of information on the system and place it in secured place outside of the company. Authorized personnel are responsible to keep the back up files so the in the case of system loss, regeneration is possible. . 5 Maintenance Plan The back up files should be made in order to maintain the system from possible loss of important data and damages programs. These files are most significant when unexpected hardware failure results in damages program file and loss of data, so the user should at least make two (2) copies of all files every data processing for a better maintenance of the system. 5. 6 User Training In order to have an effective operation of the system, the proposed system suggest that the user should be trained on how to interest with the system to ensure the integrity of the system.The training of the student to use the system is help by the intended administrator who knows the system. This Automated SSG election system is user friendly to ensure the success implementation. CHAPTER IV CONCLUSION AND testimonial 6. 1 Conclusion As other School and establishments, San Miguel National High School together with their existing system, faced various problems. San Miguel National High School still utilizes the some manual procedure in preparing for their student council election.We, the researchers formulated the objective of the study To find out the flow and functionality of the present semi-automated system and likewise. Propose and present an automated Student Voting Council system to the sufficient and more lessen of preparing for the coming student election. To cope up with the problems , the researchers initial step was to study and conduct some interview to school (e. g. SSG Adviser, Officers, and Students). We analyzed the present system so as to locate the various limitations therein.Observations were also done in order to find out the conditions and steps for the voting system. Elections rely heavily on manual tallying and canvassing of votes thus making them vulnerable to control and manipulate. To ensure a credible and transparent electoral process, the modernization of the electoral system through computerization shall be supported to ensure the credibility of polls and correct the deficiencies in the electoral system. To eliminate many ineffective features of the present system, the researcher come up with proposed system modeled basically to counter act the above limitations.Some steps that made the process quit long eliminated as the automated program was sufficient enough. Computations were accomplished by the computer itself while files were kept in or der and gathered with reliable security. The study revealed that utilizing computers will in the long run be financially beneficial to the School. Based on the findings and data gathered, the researchers have come up with the following conclusions 1. The existing system of San Miguel National High School when having a Student Supreme Government (SSG) election, all transactions like voters registration and voting, is done manually. . The existing system generates many problems such as redundant voters, time consuming, heavy workload (esp. SSG Adviser). And difficulty in modify and editing the files of the voters. 3. That there is need for an enhancement of their system due to the problem of their existing system, a new system is entirely required to the substitute the present process that is quit inferior. Voting can be made available in the same day of election. The COMELEC will not be busy the week before the election to prepare all the ballot of every student.The day of the Elect ion they can easily print the winner of the election signed by SSG adviser. 4. That the new system would meet the limitations of the existing manual system. The proposed automated SSG voting council system is effective because the computation and manipulation of files are done by the computer, thus eliminating redundancy, voters records will be refrained these may be possibly eliminated. 5. The researchers also recommend this study to the students as a guide in doing the same study in other public or private purposes. 6. 2 RecommendationsThe researchers recommend that the proposed system be implemented as to put an end may enormous work shouldered, by the voters in the COMELEC of San Miguel National High School. In implementing this system, the COMELEC can work harmoniously have more quality time spent for other tasks, and system will be freed from deficiencies. The researchers believed that the proposed system offers quality services without spending much time and effort. It is als o recommended that the school comply with the requirements of the proposed system so that difficulties may be possibly eliminated.
