CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

INTRODUCTION
People nowadays are into computer, people are now fascinated
with anything that comes with the use of the computer. People
spend more time using computer because it can make their work
more easier. Electronic election is now being implemented to some
universities and colleges in the Philippines thus creating an
electronic election system is now being created for them to make
their election hassle free and quickly.
Electronic

voting

refers

to

the

use

of

computers

or

computerized voting equipment to cast ballots in an election.

Electronic systems can be used to register voters, tally ballots,
and record votes. Electronic voting has the potential to reduce

more

accessible to people with disabilities, allowing them to vote

from home and use equipment that can accommodate their special
needs. However, ensuring the security and integrity of online
elections poses many new challenges for election administrators.

In this regard, we come up to the idea of why not

create system that caters the election in our college using the
electronic system. It is not unknown to us that many universities
and colleges in our province are using electronic election, thus
we think of ways on how can we upgrade our electronic election to
the next level.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

of the Electronic Election Version 1.1 is to implement a fast,
easy and systematic way of conducting a voters registration and
candidate applications, to properly manage the election in a
well-organized manner, to generate quickly a correct, accurate
and reliable canvassing result and lastly to generate instantly

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents a review of related literature and

studies which the researchers considered relevant to the present
study. The following presents the review of related literature
that we have searched in our chosen project. It consists of other
applications and tools related to this study.

can summit your voting to the system, it is much faster than the
traditional ballot counting method operated by people. Despite
the particular advantages to electronic voting system, critics of
electronic voting argue about the security issue and the unequal
access chances to the computer are the main drawbacks to the
system.
According to SMARTMATIC (the world leader in
electronic voting), electronic voting is a term used to describe
the act of voting using electronic systems to cast and count
votes. Forward-thinking countries and election commissions are
keen to explore how it can help them improve their elections. For
some nations, automated elections mean that people can trust the
results because it allows for a process that is so auditable,
transparent and secure. Of course, electronic voting also helps
reduce human error. For other countries, particularly large ones
like Brazil, India and the Philippines, electronic voting and
electronic counting means that people can get official election
results within hours, instead of weeks. Again, this builds trust.
According to Gloria Lin and Nicole Espinosa of Stanford
University (2007), electronic voting most directly affects two
14

large parties: the voters, and the government. Theoretically, in

order for electronic voting to be instituted, there must be a
significant advantage (greater than the costs) to one or both of
these groups. Ideally, voters gain a better voting experience at
the polls, are more confident that their vote will be correctly
counted, and are able to vote more easily and efficiently. The
government is potentially able to increase voter turnout, reduce
costs, increase voter confidence, renew interest in the political
system

(and

voting),

and

ensure

the

most

democratic

process

possible. One of the significant benefits of this new system is

the possibility for increased efficiency. With Electronic Voting
Machines

voters

can

submit

their

votes,

and

be

reasonably

confident that their vote will count (namely avoiding the angling
chad problem that handicapped the 2000 presidential elections in
the United States). New Electronic Voting Machines can also stop
voters from common election faults, such as picking too many or
no candidates, also thereby increasing the general effectiveness
of voting.

Foreign Study

15

According to an article named Elections Canada it says that,

Proponents of electronic voting, particularly Internet voting,
make a number of arguments in favour of its implementation. These
are

related

to

technology,

social

issues

and

election

administration. First, electronic voting has the potential to

make the voting process easier and more accessible for electors.
This is especially true for remote Internet voting and telephone
voting given that ballots can be cast from any computer with an
Internet

connection

or

any

working

telephone.

These

latter

methods substantially lower the cost of voting for many electors

by creating many more access points from which they are able to
vote.

for

persons with disabilities, those suffering from illness, those

serving in the military or living abroad, those away on personal
travel, snowbirds and other groups of citizens such as single
parents who may find it difficult to visit a traditional polling
station. Additionally, remote methods of Internet voting, and in
some cases kiosk Internet voting, afford electors the opportunity
of being able to vote at any time, a feature that further enables
electors' ability to cast a ballot.
According to Peter Westerhaus (2012), the recent surge in
demand for online voting options is not surprising, given the
benefits it provides: Empowerment Voting is the most powerful
16

way for members to have a voice in the leadership and direction

of their organization. When allowed to vote in fair and open
elections, members will feel a greater sense of value, ownership,
and responsibility. This is why it is important to reach as many
members as possible with different election methods including
online voting. Accessibility With the surge of mobile devices,
online voting is a convenient option for many members, allowing
them to access ballots anytime, anywhere.

this

institution

had

already

conducted

many

major

university

student council election of officers for the MSUN Supreme Student

Council. It was so evident unfortunately that the turnover of
these said elections had turned to be slow and tiresome. It was
slow because of the following scenarios: The Election is done
manually, so the canvassing is consuming a big amount of time, in
fact in most of the elections the canvassing of votes took a long
hours and more time consume. Miscount of votes that may cause for
under vote or otherwise over vote. Mistally and misstated vote
for a candidate. It was hard and tiresome on the part of the
election facilitators because it needs a lot of energy and time
to overcome the complexity of the preparations and the holding of
the election down to the canvassing of votes. So with these
problems the call for a change is considered.
According to Oli Reyes (2010), perhaps the most notable
feature of the Halalan system is its utilization of open source
software. It is free for use by a large homeowners association

UP

Diliman, an array of desktops or laptops (as may be available to

the individual colleges) is situated in the voting precincts,
each logged on to an IP address on the university-based DILNET
server. Voting in UP Diliman proceeds in the following manner.
The student goes to the precinct, and presents to the poll clerk
her/his student ID (or Form 5). Once the poll clerk is satisfied
that the voter is enrolled and thus eligible to vote, the voter
is given a password taken from a list of pre-prepared computer
generated passwords. The voter heads to the computer, and is
confronted by a browser screen. As required by the browser, the
student

logs

in

her/his

student

number

and

the

previously

supplied password. If the log-in is successful, the student is

led to the online ballot, which features the contested positions,
the names of the candidates and their respective parties. Using a
mouse, the voter clicks on the empty boxes beside the names of
their candidates of choice, thereby marking the same. (There is
also, in the UP system, a box for Abstain) Clicking the box
19

does not automatically record the vote, as the voter has the
choice to review her/his ballot and changing votes before finally
confirming the same.
