PROJECT CHARTER
Goal
Project Title:

ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM

Prepared By:

Group 2

Project objective:
To create a secure and reliable online portal to speed-up the online election system
Project scope
Maintain the details of candidates and voters.
Allocate polling centers for applicant voters.
Report the statistics of polling.
Document verification of candidates and voters
Update details and milestones of the candidate
Voters viewing of candidates details
Benefit and expected effect
Benefits:
Fast and easy way of conducting Election.
Voters can view background of each Candidate.
Candidate can present themselves against voters.
Admin can verify the documents and details of Candidate.
System Generated Unique ID and Password gives more Secure Logins.
Effect:
This system is a lot easier to independently moderate the elections and subsequently reinforce its
transparency and fairness.
Less capital, less effort, and less labor intensive, as the primary cost and effort will focus
primarily on creating, managing, and running a secure online portal.
Increased number of voters as individual will find it easier and more convenient to vote.
Assumption risk and risk mitigation plan:
Chances of hacking candidate or voters account. Each user is identified by a user id and
password.
Certain information like the Polling schedule and centers are assumed to be obtained from the
respective Election Commission Officer.
It is assumed that the database of voters information is updated from the election
commissioners end. No provision is made in the software to add or edit these details.

CONTRACT
Contract Type- Cost Plus Fixed Fee
Reason- In CPFF Contract, the contractor will be paid the paid for the normal expenses for a
project, plus an additional fixed fee for their services. The fixed fee portion of the contract
may be subject to negotiation between the parties, and can therefore vary according to the
needs in each project. There may be difficulty in defining the local Online Voting system
environment, including the number of users, operating models, statutory changes, and the
consolidation of voter registration functions across municipalities would make it impossible
to propose fixed fee bids and accurate implementation timeframes. It would also be
impossible to accurately budget for the hardware and connectivity at the state and municipal
levels.

STAKEHOLDERS
The stakeholders of the Online Election System are:

Election Commission (Admin):

The election commission is the client or the owner of the project. They will be the one
who is having the administrative rights of the online election system. The admin can
check each Candidate details and verify the documents, Candidates ID and Password
will be generated only after verifying, which helps in removing the faulty accounts.
The Election Commission has the overall rights over the system and can
moderate and delete any details not pertaining to Election Rules.

Project Manager:
The project manager is the one who has control over the development and
implementation of the project. He is responsible for the successful initiation, planning,
design, execution, monitoring, controlling and closure of the project. He is also
answerable towards the top management of the company and the clients.

Top Management:
Top management of the software development organisation like the CEO is also a
stakeholder of this project. The top management is the one who decides whether to
take up a project. They are also concerned about the returns from the project.

General Public:
They form one of the ultimate user of the Online Election System. The system should
be easy for the general public to use.

Developers:
They are people who actually develop the system. They are answerable to the project
manager. They do all the coding and creation of the different modules of the online
election system.

Testers:
Testers are the people who tests the system before it is actually rolled out. They tries
to find out whether the system is user-friendly, checks for errors and bugs and also the
efficiency and reliability of the system.

Candidates:
Like the general public they are also one of the end user of the online election system.
Unlike general public, they have some extra features like registering themselves as a
candidate and uploading their details.

Networking and security personnel:
