1. Introduction
Here, we are preparing and managing the government elections of a constituency. This system will
maintain the nominations and voting information for an election in a given constituency. Along with
this, it keeps track of voters, nominees in a constituency and the respective voting details. It also
prevents redundant voting against a voter. EMS configures the details for each voting booth in the city
based on the nominations. A nominee can opt to cancel his nomination before the given date. Nominee
is voter of the current constituency.
1.1 Background
This document outlines the software requirement specification for the Election Automation System. It
is the outcome of the Analysis Phase during which discussions were held with the users. The objective
of this Analysis Phase was to:
Any changes to requirements after acceptance of this document will be through appropriate Change
Management procedure, as detailed in the contract.
Both the user and designer should go through the document carefully in order to ensure that:
•All the user requirements which need to be supported by the system have been identified and detailed.
•The document is a clear and unambiguous statement of functionality required from the system for the
design and development team.
•The document can be used as a basis for development of the System Test data.
It is essential to identify the problems, if any, with the basic structure of the proposed system at this
stage. If these are not taken care of at this stage, it may be difficult to incorporate the desired
modifications to overcome the shortcomings at a later stage.

The other requirements may include the user access control and security requirements and performance
requirements.
Each user may be given separate log-in Id and password. They may be divided into three groups.
Application User may have access to Application software only. These users may not have any access
to the Operating System commands outside of Application Menus
Besides it will be possible to set or change the password interactively. Each user or group of users will
have access to certain screens/functions of the system relevant to his area of operation. Each user will
have to log-on to the system using the correct user name and password. In case of an invalid
combination of these two codes, the system will display an error message and prevent further
processing.
Performance Requirements
Performance requirements specify the performance characteristics of the system like response time,
throughput etc.
