Web-Based Online Voting System for Secure Digital Elections

Online voting systems have been increasingly significant in recent times, especially in relation
to the digital transformation process within electoral procedures. In this study, we provide an overview
of our web-based online voting system. Our system enables users to register, cast votes, and check vote
status without restrictions on geographical distance, as long as the users are using devices connected to
the internet.
The functionality provided by the system includes user registration and login, authentication of the users,
vote casting and verification of the status, and finally, candidate management by the system
administrator who will declare results after the voting process is completed. Our system is built with the
use of HTML and CSS for the design of the graphical user interface, PHP for the backend and MySQL
for database management. Users are only permitted to cast one vote per election, which reduces
possibilities of double counting of votes. Results declaration is done exclusively by the administrator,
ensuring confidentiality of the results before their declaration.
