Software Requirement Specifications1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

We live in a democracy and voting is one of our fundamental duties as

responsible citizens of the country, but nowhere around the country a 100%

people come to vote during the elections in their territory. There have been

many reasons for that some of them are:

In the rural areas the influential people keep their men at the polling

booths to threaten the common man to vote for them

There are many portions of the country like the North East where

there is locally sponsored terrorism, at such places the security

conditions are also not very bright, so naturally people feel afraid to

come out of their houses and go to vote

Net savvy, new generation want a hassle free voting system. Also

the people in metros want a system through which they can vote for

their territory without traveling.

Voting is one of the fundamental duties of every citizen. But many

people do not go for voting thinking why to waste their time. Also a

number of malpractices take place at the polling booths.

Considering these problems, Online Polling System Is the only solution.

Online Voting system provides a convenient way of managing the voting

system over internet.

1.2 Scope

The web application is developed for conducting national elections.

It helps the election commission to register voters, register candidates,

select field officers, conduct an election, moderate an election and

decide the results.


6/31





It provides a hassle free environment to voters for practicing their right

to vote just by casting their votes online.

Different system users are created and they are assigned different

privilege levels. Thus, security is maintained.

Digital signature is implemented when the citizen applies for voter id

by filling the registration form. It is also implemented when a voter

casts his vote on the website.

The system maintains a centralized database to provide security to

information which can be accessed only by the admin (ECO).

The Election Commissioner will create the profiles for the candidates

using which the candidates will be able to campaign.

Current statistics regarding the results will be displayed

Chat and forum facility is available even for general public, who are not

logged on to the system.

FAQ section is also included for users benefit.

Java Based client system for ECO and FO.

1.3 Abbreviations and definitions

1.6 Overview

Overall Description will describe major components of the system,

interconnection and external interfaces.

Specific Requirements will describe the functions of actors, their

role in the system and constraints.


10/31





2. Overall Description

2.1 Product Perspective:

The software product is a standalone system and not apart of a larger system.

The system will be made up of two parts, one running visible directly to the

administrator on the server machine and the other visible to the end users, in this

case the voters, through web pages.

The two users of the system, namely the voters and the election authority(EA)

interact with the system in different ways. The Election Commission Officer and

Field Officer configures the provided java-client according to its needs. The

voters cast their votes using the web interface provided. These votes are

accepted by the system on the server.


11/31





The web pages (XML/JSP) are present to provide the user interface on customer

client side. Communication between customer and server is provided through

HTTP/HTTPS protocols.

On the server side web server is for EJB and database server is for storing the

information.

2.2 Software Interface:

Client on Internet: Web Browser, Operating System (any)

Web Server: WAS, Operating System (any)

Data Base Server: DB2, Operating System (any)

Development End: RAD (J2EE, Java, Java Bean, Servlets, JSP,

EJB), DB2, Linux, Web Server, Tivoli Server.

2.3 Hardware Interface:

12/31





2.4Communication Interface:

Client on Internet will be using HTTP/HTTPS protocol.

2.5 Product Functionalities:

Voting:

upload the data about him, carry out campaigns. He is provided with the

profile over the site, by the ECO, so that he can upload required data.

Ease Of Updation for manual voting, and secured voting:

The field officer /site officer is provided with the system in which

during the election process the FO is displayed with the screen on which

he can update the recently manually voted voters.


13/31





Secure transfer of user votes and user information

Digital Signature is implemented so that the vote casted by a voter is

safely transferred over the network.

2.6 User Characteristics:
