mELECTION

Project Area of Specialization Software EngineeringProject Summary

In the world of smartphones and computer systems, we have almost everything automated with different artificial intelligent devices and IoT devices. During COVID-19 we faced lots of problems and our rest of the daily life activities have been shifted to the Internet. 

Due to the lockdowns, social distancing, and quarantine almost everywhere, people stay at home and doing their jobs and other activities from home (more precisely work from home). So, the idea came to my mind during the pandemic that there must be a such system from online voting so that people can vote from their home or where else they're with unique ID card numbers and personal information. 

The system must be reliable, secure, and efficient to handle millions of votes at the same time. It should be as simple as a common citizen could vote from his mobile. According to the current PTA reports, there're more than 90 Million users of smartphones and 80 Million users of simple mobile phones. According to the statistics, the number of smartphone users in the country is increasing dramatically.

We will include all the non-functional requirements (NFR) such as:

• Reliability
• Availability
• Accessibility
• Security and Privacy 
• Ease of use
• Performance 
• Recoverability
• etc.

Therefore, we can try and build such an efficient and effective system that could be used in Pakistan and in other countries (we'll provide services only like Uber/Creem or Foodpana, etc.).

We know the system is tremendously large, critical, and hard to build, but I believe "Nothing is impossible if you really want to do something for humanity". That's it for now!

Project Objectives

• The core objective of the system is to provide such a reliable and secure system that would be accessible for everyone during lockdown or pandemic situations. We don't know how much time COVID-19 would take to leave us.
• Every-time in Pakistan, the opposition claimed that the winning party buncoed during Elections. After using such a system we'll make a clear election. 
• When we have technologies why we don't use them to save and money? 
• The one issue is also occurring in every election that how citizens of Pakistani live in foreign countries to vote? we have a realistic solution for this problem too.

Project Implementation Method

We have mentioned accessibility and availability (24/7) whenever needed. SO, the system simply implemented for all the available operating systems for mobile phones (iOS, Andriod, and Harmony OS) and also a web version of the same features. 

As for concern with implementation languages, we'll go with a cross-platform programming language (React Native or Flutter). Both of these fully supported the different operating systems and know as develop once run anywhere.

Secondly, we'll implement the proper SDLC (Software/System Development Life Cycle) and other Development processes. 

Benefits of the Project

As far as concern with benefits of the projects there are many:-

• Time & Resources Saving
• Reliable and Secure
• No need of counting each vote 
• Simple use of CNIC card numbers 
• No need for millions of people that manage the election polls.
• Saving tons of papers and plastic boxes to reduce pollution (climate change)
• Minimize the fights during election days
• Many more ....

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

It will be in the form of a product (Application), that could be easily installed on any smartphones and website access. 

It will get your CNIC number (that is unique of every citizen) and get its information by dividing the province then into the district, area, and family background. Only a single person can vote and saved virtual database(s). All the information and data will be encrypted by the highest encryption rules. 

Many things that aren't mentioned here (privacy and interface purposes), so that's why I hide lot of information.
