INTRODUCTION
Manual counting requires a
intent. The
physical ballots
physical
are read
ballot that
represents voter
and interpreted; then results are
individually tabulated. This method is used in Sweden for example, and

conducted as follows. The voter casts three ballots, one for each of the
three elections (national, regional, and local), and each in a sealed envelope.
The party and candidate names are pre-printed on the ballot, or the voter
can write them in on a blank ballot. When voting has finished, all
envelopes are opened on the counting table, for one election at a time.
Computerized
Voting.
(http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1273262)
electronic voting can seem to be an end-all solution to the problems

produced by the "chad-prone" punch-card ballots in the 2000 Florida
recount, as well as to the limitations and problems of other types of
ballots. Electronic voting offers advantages to both the voter and the polling
place in its efficiency, speed, and convenience. However, electronic voting
is prone to other types of problems that are inherent in computers
themselves. Votes can be greatly skewed in these computerized voting
machines by a plethora of factors such as glitches, hackers, viruses and
even by the voting machine makers who may be sympathetic to particular
political parties. In using these computerized voting systems nationally, the
votes of millions of Americans may be compromised. Still, these computer-
related problems can be fixed and the systems can be made more secure with
rigorous testing and evaluation by independent computer science experts. Many
changes
regarding security and reliability must be implemented to even consider

computerized
voting
systems
for
national
use.

Background of the Study

In Casa Del Nio Jesus De Lucban, manual voting is also being done
when election for officers arrive. Printed paper with the listed names of the
candidates for election would be given to students wherein they will put a mark
on their preferred candidate for officer, then after, they will fold the paper and
place it in a box. When the voting hours ended, the so-called comelecs or the
trusted members of the organization will have the responsibility to count and tally
the number of votes per candidate manually. This process are time-consuming not
only for the voters but also for the comelec members. Another disadvantage is that
in any circumstances, manual-counting of votes may result in incorrect number of
vote counts and may be the reason of unsuccessful election.
The advantage of this voting system is it is simple to understand. It is fairly

quickly to count the votes and work out who won; meaning results can be
declared relatively quickly after the polls close and the advantages are
2
representatives can get elected with small amounts of public support, as the size
of the winning margin is irrelevant: what matters is only that they get more votes
than other candidates.
The possible problems and or disadvantages of manual voting and the advantages
of computer-based voting stated above gave an idea to the researchers to conduct
the study. Through this computer-based voting system, the voting process will
become faster, easier and most of all, it will have a better accurate result.
Objectives
This study aims to develop a computer-based voting system for the
election of SSG in the school of Casa del Nino Jesus de Lucban especially, this
study aim to:
1. To develop a computer based system for the school.

Electronic Voting Machine

According
to
post
one
electronic
(http://english.tse.jus.br/electronic-voting/the-electronic-ballot-box-history)
voting
that
in 1985, there was an implementation of a computerized election database by the

Superior Electoral Court, while the electronic voting machine as conceived today
was only developed in 1995 and first used in municipal elections the following
year. But it was in 1989, in Brusque (SC), where Judge Carlos Prudencio held the
first voting experience with micro-computers.
In preparing the project of electronic voting machines in 1995, the TSE
has formed a technical committee led by researchers at the National Institute for
Space Research (INPE) and the Aerospace Technical Center (CTA) in Sao Jose
dos Campos, which defined a specification of functional requirements.
The first name of the electronic voting machine was collector of
electronic votes (CEV). The machine had the purpose of identifying alternatives
to automate the voting process and define the measures necessary for its
implementation, starting from the 1996 elections in over 50 municipalities.
6
The equipment, responsible for 100 percent of the automation of the

elections, was then released in Brazil 1996 and today serves as a model for many
other countries that have tested the ability of the machine for the implementation
of their electoral processes.
In March 2009, the TSE received technology award for the contribution in
the development of electronic voting machines. The award was the result of a
partnership between the University of Sao Paulo (USP), the George Washington
University and the Business Software Alliance (BSA). The BSA is an
organization that brings together institutions and companies in the area of
information technology and promotes the event to highlight ideas that are
unprecedented in the world.
Automated Voting System

An
automated
voting
system
(http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5218528.html) that integrates the stages of

registering and certifying voters and collecting their votes. A computer-based
voter registration station accesses a database to verify that the voter is eligible to
vote. Vote entry stations provide a computer-based interactive graphic interface
for permitting the voter to enter votes. A vote entry controller activates and
monitors the vote entry stations to prevent unauthorized voting. Votes may be
collected at either the vote entry stations or at the vote entry controller to which
they are downloaded, which enhances security by providing a means to compare
votes collected at one point in the system with votes collected at another point.
Computer
A
computer
(http://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/definition/computer) is a device that

accepts information (in the form of digitalized data) and manipulates it for some
result based on a program or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be
processed. Complex computers also include the means for storing data (including
the program, which is also a form of data) for some necessary duration. A
program may be invariable and built into the computer (and called logic circuitry
as it on microprocessor) or different programs may be provided to the computer
(loaded into its storage and the started by an administrator or user). Today`s
computers have both kinds of programming.
Computer Programming
Computer
programming
(http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Computer_Programming) the craft of writing

useful, maintainable, and extensible source code which can be interpreted or
complied by a computing system to perform a meaningful task. Programming a
computer can be performed in one of numerous languages, ranging from a higherlever language to writing directly in low-level machine code (that is, code that
more directly controls the specifics of the computer`s hardware) all the way down
to writing microcode (which does directly control the electronics in the

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
38
This Chapter contains the summary, findings ,conclusion, and recommendations

for the Computerized Based Voting System.
SUMMARY
The school commelec is the one who is in charge for the school election
for SSG or student supreme government which is held every year and they have
the power to create the better future which may include manual voting, counting
of votes, recording and announcement the winner. The commelec in Casa Del
Nio Jesus De Lucban functions in it usual purpose; nevertheless, still associated
in paper transactions and record of the held election. The commelec arrange a
manual election and manual voting and manual counting of votes most f the
students use school official ballot to vote and most of the records for the election
is are piled up filing cabinets using much office space. A more convenient is
computerized base voting system why because of the technology now we can go
automated it can easily save time, money energy and effort. This research is made
to help the school have a more highly acceptable user friendly voting system by
creating Computerized Based Voting System. A lot of man power is needed when
you are making a manual voting and it takes a 28.44 minutes for voting and 39.39
minutes for counting the votes and realising the winner of election. If you are
using a Computer Based Voting System It reduces the man power and only takes
11:91 minutes to vote and count the winner. This will create an accessible and
non-time consuming of taking votes and counting of votes among the commelec.
Our respondents are school class officer.
