STRUCTURE OF THE PROJECT
One basic precondition for Voting System must be the feasibility of implementing the voting under such conditions that the principles underpinning the electoral system are not disregarded. Accordingly, the system must be at least as secure as corresponding traditional voting procedures. Another precondition is that the Voting System procedure must be simple and function smoothly for the voters. Its overall purpose is to enhance accessibility to voters.
The present form of voting in general elections is founded entirely on paper based and largely manual voting procedures. New technology with advanced vote-client machines (computer terminals used for voting) for elections may entail several advantages. It may, as mentioned above, enhance the voters’ scope for participating in the election. It also creates scope for more rapid tallying of votes and distribution of seats. This also enables the electoral administration to promptly announce the election results to a broader circle. The risk of error in vote-tallying can also be largely eliminated. The new technology also entails disadvantages that must be considered. One is the difficulty of guaranteeing ballot secrecy with absolute certainty.
Another is the question of how to guarantee the reliability of the system, i.e. that the system will in all situations function in the manner in which it is meant to function. Another disadvantage is the expense of development and operation. All in all, then, the primary considerations are security and Reliability.
The Commission presents an e-voting system for Internet (online) voting that should be capable of fulfilling these requirements. Before it is tested in an election, however, extensive trials should be carried out. Only after such Trials can a final decision is taken as to whether the procedure is applicable in a real election.

Disadvantage is the expense of development and operation. All in all, then, the primary considerations are security and reliability.
There is also a risk of the procedure tending to become
a mere expression of public opinion on election day, and to lose the gravity, Dignity and symbolic significance of the traditional act of voting. The Problem that must be solved first, according to the Commission, is that of how voters should authenticate their identity.
DATAFLOW DIAGRAMS
Data flow diagram is a structure analysis tool that is used for graphical representation of Data processes through any organization. The data flow approach emphasis on the logic underlying the system, by using combination of only 4 symbols. It follows a top down approach. A full description of a system actually consists of set of DFD s, which comprises of various levels. And initial over view model is exploded lower level diagrams that show additional feature of the system. Further each process can be broken down into a more detailed DFD. This occurs repeatedly until sufficient details are described.
TABLE DESIGIN OF BALLOT VOTE
Data dictionary consists of description of all the data used in the system. It consists of logical characteristics of current systems data stores including name, description, aliases, contents and organization. Data dictionary serves as the basis for identifying database requirements during system design. Data dictionary is a catalog, a depositary of the elements in the system.
The data dictionary is used to manage the details in the large system, to communicate a common meaning for all system elements, to document the future of the system, to locate errors and omission in the system. Data dictionary contains two types of descriptions for the data flowing through the system attributes and tables. Attributes are grouped together to make up the tables.
PROCESS LOGIC OF MODULES
E-Voting mainly having two functionalities. They are Administrator functionality and User Interface functionality.
Admin functionality in E-Voting is he will add Adding new parties details, delete and edit these parties details. Then admin add the States details remove and modified the details, and then admin add the state wise parliamentary and assembly details admin can be remove and modified this details, then admin add the voters details admin can remove and modified this voter details, then admin add the elections place details admin will allow the parliamentary and assembly for vote at glance, then admin add the nominee details of state wise and see parliamentary and assembly nominee lists. Maintaining separate tables that will store data various transactions done by the voters Requests for adding the vote generating customized chart that will display the status of political parties.User Interface functionality in E-Voting is he will be required to fill in the Voter id and password. Parliamentary/Assembly Details: They will able to view the current status of parliamentary or assembly according to state.
