Potential voters face difficulty when registering to be legitimate voters, some of these difficulties includes: the long distances to be traveled for registration process, the long queues at the registration sites, the short time duration provided for registration, updating and viewing the voter register. In an effort to make the voter registration and voting process easier, this project report outlines the implementation of the electronic voting system based on current literature on voter registration and voting process, web security and latest software application. The electronic voting system allows the voter to register electronic and ensure the existence of his/her name on the voter register. Furthermore, it allows the voter to cast his/her vote and check for election results updates. Although the electronic voting system focused on the GULU UNIVERSITY Electoral Commission (UEC), it is important to note that it can be implemented for other electoral commissions in other Universities worldwide. The electronic voting system was evaluated and validated in terms of usability and feasibility. The electronic voting system is both usable and feasible, though fixes are recommended to meet the limitations. Trends in the quantitative data and logical inference based on the context of the evaluation suggest that the electronic voting system might help the electoral commission to produce more accurate voting process.
