GSM Mobile App: A Solution To The Challenges Of The Current Voting System In Tertiary Institutions In Nigeria


 ABSTRACT 

 

The word “vote” means to choose from a list, to elect or to determine. The main goal of voting (in a scenario involving the students of a given tertiary institution), is to come up with student-leaders of the students’ choice.Most tertiary institutions, FUTO not an exception have problems when it comes to voting. Some of the problems involved include rigging votes during election, insecure or inaccessible polling arena, inexperienced personnel and so on because voting in these institutions have been found to be limited to methods like: Ballot paper, on the spot counting, electronic voting and others not specified.This android voting app seeks to address the above issues. It should be noted that with this app in place, the users, University/College of Education/Polytechnic students in this case shall be given ample time during the voting period. They shall also be trained on how to vote using the app before the election time, although little training is required because the app is user-friendly
