DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ONLINE VOTING METHODS FOR THE INTEGRATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE NIGERIA ELECTORAL SYSTEM

Abstract:  This research paper examines the development, design, and implementation of a user-friendly online web-based voting system for use in conducting elections in Nigeria, to provide high performance and a better user experience to the voter. It also looks at the planned online voting system, which allows voters to log in using their username and password, which are retrieved from the database of the Nigeria Independent National Electoral Commission and assigned to them by the commission. This enhances user experience and prevents void votes by forcing all users to log in with their correct login details and vote for their preferred candidates. The election can be performed remotely online, allowing qualified voters to vote from anywhere in the world as long as they have internet access, and election results can be viewed in real- time while voting is still taking place. This will boost the involvement of Nigerians in the diaspora, eliminate electoral violence that typically occurs in polling units during elections, and lower the cost of conducting elections in Nigeria.
