A SECURE WEB BASED APPROACH IN MANAGING ELECTIONS IN KENYA

Abstract

The National Online Electoral Management System provides online voters registration forms for citizens where legally adult citizens are registered and allowed to log in as the voters. There is also a dashboard from which administrative privileges is exercised. Each registered user has a password for logging in as well as another One Time Pin layer for more security. The system allows preliminary voting, and the results graphically represented in varying types of charts, which is provided on a need basis. The system computes and gives the election results for all the positions and can be queried to provide a detailed report for the entirety of the election currently in place. The main objective of this system is therefore not limited to design, develop and implement an efficient; user friendly, interactive web based electoral management system. The methodology that will be used is the waterfall Model.
