Election Voting using SMS

Abstract

implemented in various different sectors and levels of society, ranging from national level (government elections) to the more basic selection of class monitor in schools. All the tasks of selecting a leader/representative are mostly accomplished with the help of voting as it requires the consensus of all the people involved in the activity. But voting can be a tedious procedure and the motive of this project in general is to resolve this issue by conducting a voting session with the help of an Android/Web based application to make it easier to access and conduct the voting procedure. An application like this helps digitizing the traditional voting system and thus helps in overcoming the possibility of fraudulent voting helping in the conduction of a fair and reliable voting session. We hope to accomplish this by the use of Firebase, in which we allocate each member participating in the voting with a distinct ID corresponding to their phone number, so that no violations are made during the process. The use of such system can efficiently be used to increase the vote count and completely mobilize and digitize the voting mechanism.
