Software Requirements Specification

1.0 Introduction:

Online National Polling Software version 1.0 is designed to Improve current voting status and to facilitate comfortable and easy polling.

1.1 Purpose: We live in a democracy and voting is one of our fundamental duties as responsible

citizens of the country, but nowhere around the country a 100% people come to vote

during the elections in their territory. There have been many reasons for that some

of them are:

• In the rural areas the influential people keep their men at the polling booths to

threaten the common man to vote for them.

• There are many portions of the country like the North East where there is locally

sponsored terrorism, at such places the security conditions are also not very bright,

so naturally people feel afraid to come out of their houses and go to vote.

• Net savvy new generation want hassle free voting system. Also the people in

metros want a system through which they can vote for their territory without

travelling. Keeping in mind these situations and to improve the state of democracy in

the country Online Polling System can be thought as a solution, in conjunction with

the ongoing current manual voting system.

1.2 Scope: The Scope of the Online National Polling includes:

i. Online registration for the voter id card which will be verified by the field officers

(address and identity validation) and after receiving the field officer's report the

registration will be validated and a voter id will be issued (a photograph will have to

be uploaded).

ii. Those already having a voter id card can register for the online voting system,

they will use their voter id as their user name and a separate password will be used

for secure authentication.

iii. The election commission will be able to use the site to let the candidates register

for their nomination on the site and their officers will validate it. Candidates can run

their election campaign through forums and chat-room.

iv. A detailed profile of all the candidates constituency wise will be maintained so

that voters can always know about the candidates of their area.

v. Once registered when ever polling is done in any area that areas' people will be

able to vote for their favourite candidates.

vi Duplicate voting (online & offline) is not happening.

vii. The system would show the current statistics as well on the web site about how

many votes which candidates have got.

viii. Later when the voting ends the administrator can add the manual polling results

to the database to calculate the final results which will immediately be flashed on the

site.

ix. Candidates can to modify selected portions of their profile after registration for

nomination like the promises they make about the things to do after winning the

election, their previous works, their experiences and a comprehensive about me.

WASCE: (WebSphere Application Server Community Edition) Web Server DB2: IBM Database. 1.6 Overview: The SRS will include two sections, namely: -I- Overall Description: This section will describe major components of the system, interconnections, and external interfaces.

-I- Specific Requirements: This section will describe the functions of actors, their roles in the system and the constraints faced by the system.

2.0) Overall Description: The software requires certain tables to be presented already as a prerequisite. Tables like records contain information about rooms , general manager , agents , supplier and employees working in respective hotels. 2.1) Product Perspective:

The web pages (HTML/JSP) are present to provide the user interface on client side. Communication between client and server is provided through HTTP/HTTPS protocols.

Admin is provided with a client so that he can create and manage action in

the system

Client software is provided with the privileges and restrictions to the actors.

The server communicates to external databases via internet.

2.4) Product Functions:

Field Officers will be able to view the forms in the standard

format, for example form for voter ID registration will look same

as manual form (i.e form6) looks like.

Forms for all the users will be filled automatically from the

database and we will try to ask for minimum information for filling

those standard forms. For eg: for filling candidate form(i.e form

2A) voter will have to enter just his voter id and other extra

information like criminal records and general information will be

filled automatically from database by referencing vid.

Possible validations will be applied at the time of form submission

only to minimize headache for field officers and election

commissioner.

It will automatically calculate number of votes in each

constituency and display results and graph for each candidate

accordingly.

We will eliminate those online votes whose entry is done

manually (i.e if a voter has voted manually). We will ask field

officer to enter manual votes and voter ids from which the voting

has being done manually and eliminate online vote of duplicate

entries.

To make sure that registration is done by right person we will ask

for voter ids of 2 relatives and their part number and serial

number which they specified in their registration form(2A).

When a voter selects the type of election , all the constituencies of

that election appear before him and on selecting a particular



Meki


constituency , the list of all candidates standing from that

constituency appears.

Whenever the Field Officer accepts or reject a voter id request ,

an email is sent to the voter.When the request is accepted,a voter

id along with initial password is mailed and in the case of rejection

a message is sent. Same is the case with election commissioner.

2.5) User Characteristics: All users of the system are expected to have basic knowledge of using a computer as well as using the internet.

2.6) Constraints:

People must have internet connection so as to interact with the system.

Each customer is identified by a particular username and password

The database is daily updated.

In database some tables are to be present before starting.

Credit card payment not included.

Limited to HTTP/HTTPS.
