PollX—Polling Assistant
摘要
India is a sovereign, socialist, and secular country where democracy is a form of government in which citizens exercise power by voting. Polling is the survey of a particular group of people who cast votes in an election. The existing election process is carried out using ballot paper which leads to the use of a huge amount of papers, cutting down of trees, and requires more labor and this process is comparatively slow. Along with this, there are few systems that support online voting, but these applications have few drawbacks and lack of features. The present system of conducting elections and processing polling consumes considerable manpower and time with a lot of dependencies for handling election booths, polling stations, and processes. This article presents a prototype to develop the mobile application for instantaneous communication to display vote count and present graphical analysis of polling data. It will display the male, female, and total vote count of each polling booth to their respective zonal officers through a mobile application for the purpose of saving time and the rapid appearance of data. PollX Assistant is a cross platform application which creates flexibility for officers to access the application on multiple operating systems. It gives simplicity, user-friendly navigation and provides security in the form of confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation to the polling data. It shares data faster between different officers, automates various tasks, and generates reports and graphs. This model would help to have a faster and secure communication between officers and to keep proper track of vote counts. PollX Assistant is a fast, secure, and reliable alternative to existing systems.
