CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND STUDY
Every academic year in Multimedia University of Kenya is one of the most fundamental critical functions
to the student community takes place. The election of the students leaders is held at March of each
academic year in a bid bring fresh in the running of the student organization.
The methods of campaign, election and post-election processes have been all same since the inception of
the student organization. These methods are in every right acceptable but fall short in this age information
and Technology, in that they are slow, entertain rigging to some degree and not so friendly to the
environment.
Bearing in mind just but the few reasons outlined above, the need for a more fast and robust
election/voting system was idealized thus the need for an online voting system.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
1.1.2 Problem definition
As the statistics shows that the percentage of polling on the day of elections is not satisfactory as majority
of student are not coming to vote and thinks is just as a waste of time. The manual voting system takes
long time as there is a lot of paper work first and then human efforts is also there for counting of the
votes.
The voting of the college elections will be done online such that there is no need to come at the college on
the time of elections and the student can vote from the home or from any other place with internet
coverage. A USER ID and PASSWORD will be provided to every student of the college so that on the
time of elections they can easily login on the election link and use his/her vote.
1.1.2 Justification
Web based solutions can be accessed anywhere as long as there is connectivity. Bearing in mind the
expensive Multimedia University intranet and the unlimited internet offered by the institution a webbased election system would come in handy to facilitate free and fair elections.
The system would be centrally placed and only be active during the election period. The system will
incorporate verification of students, voting for the candidates and a real-time tally of the votes.
Since it is web-based it can accessed from anywhere, be it campus, in the hostels and even at home.
