Abstract

This research is on e-voting system for National Association of Computer Science Students Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria. The main objective is to highlight the advantages of e-voting system over the manual approach of voting in National Association of Computer Science Student (NACOSS), MAUTECH, YOLA. Interview method and Focus Group Discussion was used for qualitative data collection, RAD system analysis and design was applied for the implementation of the proposed system. From the result of the focus group discussion and the interview conducted, which emphasized the disadvantages of the manual approach of voting in the department for years, the response from the interview made us suggest that an e-voting system for the department will be better suited for the departmental elections if implemented.
