Online Election System Using Python

Democracy is an important matter in most modern societies. One of the most important activities in a democracy is the election of representatives. It is also a very delicate process that is subject to various disturbances, such as inactive citizens, fraud attempts, etc. The problem of voting is still critical in terms of safety and security.

We have designed an Online Election System in Python to tackle the existing problem of elections. It is a web-based voting system that will help to manage elections easily and securely. This voting system can be used for casting votes during elections. In this system, the voter does not have to go to the polling booth to cast their vote. They can use their personal computer to cast their votes. The system can be used anywhere. It is not just employed for national elections; it may also be used to choose a corporation president or society secretary as well.

The admin can log into the system using their credentials. They have the access to add, update, view and delete elections. They will have to add candidates as well. The admin can also check the election results. They can view the election details along with voter lists. They can check candidates’ statistics and the winner of an election.

The user would need to register first to log in. They can manage their profile and change their password as well. They can view the list of ongoing elections and check the details. They can view the candidate details and cast their votes as per their choice. If the user has already voted, they can’t vote anymore. In the results, they can view the list of elections that are not active. They can also check any election details, candidates’ statistics and winners. In this system, the front end involves Html, CSS and JavaScript and the back end involves Python. The database: used is MySQL Database and Django is used for the framework.
