What is E-voting?Votingusingelectronicsystems to aid casting and counting votes.Electronic voting technology can includepunched cards,optical scan voting systemsand specialized voting kiosks (including self-containeddirect-recording electronic voting systems, or DRE). It can also involve transmission ofballotsand votes via telephones, privatecomputer networks, or theInternet.Two main types of e-Voting can be identified:E-voting Which is physically supervised by representatives of governmental or independent electoral authorities (e.g. electronic voting machines located at polling stations);

Remote e-Voting Where voting is performed within the voter's sole influence, and is not physically supervised by representatives of governmental authorities e.g. voting from one's personal computer, mobile phone, television via the internet

Electronic voting technology can speed the counting of ballots and can provide improved accessibility for disabled voters.Introduction "Large-scale democracy is a procedure and/or a mechanism that generates an open polyarchy whose competition on the electoral market attributes power to the people and specifically enforces the responsiveness of the leaders to the led," argues Giovanni Sartori, emeritus professor at Columbia University and one of the most important political science scholars to study democracy in the second half of the 20th century. For centuries elections have been the common mechanism by which a population chooses an individual or a group of individuals to hold office and represent their interests. Elections fill offices not only in national, regional, and local governments, but also in many other private, education, and business organizations. Election management bodies (EMBs), such as electoral commissions, ministries of interior, and local councils, are increasingly expected to conduct elections that are democratically acceptable for all stakeholders, so that results are considered a valid representation of voters, while facing challenges in handling the different phases of the electoral process in an efficient way. The acceptability of elections is dependent on a number of factors as outlined below: Ensuring full process security and transparency to eliminate fraud and increase trust: The equality and accuracy of voter registration The convenience and security of casting ballots The accuracy and integrity of result consolidation and reporting The overall transparency and auditability of the end-to-end process, including financing of electoral operations and political campaigns.

Increasing voter participation. Even though in some countries voting is compulsory and in other cases there is a minimum level of voters (quorum) mandated to validate an election, the democratic validity of elections is often questioned in case of low turnouts, particularly in developed countries. For example in the U.K., one of the oldest Western democracies, voter turnout for parliamentary elections fell from 78% in 1992 to 66% in 2010. This is an indication as to how voters are losing interest in elections and highlights the need to find new ways to contribute to the democratic process, particularly in mature democracies. In fact, the U.S. Census Bureau survey of the November 2012 presidential election, asking non-voters why they decided not to cast their ballot, found that the main reasons for not voting were a lack of interest (15.7%) or "did not like candidates or campaign issues" (12.7%), while others cited challenges related to casting the vote. Overseas, disabled, and illiterate voters are segments of a country's population that are particularly disenfranchised and face privacy issues as they will often have to delegate their vote to a person they trust. While voters are losing interest in elections or facing difficulties in exercising their right to vote, governments are trying to figure out new ways to engage them in the democratic process. Making the voting process efficient: Increasing the speed of the vote counting process Minimizing delays in the publication of election results Streamlining post-election audit processes Eliminating duplication of voter registration records Reducing ballot printing and logistics costs Efficiency is important both for emerging countries that are eager to modernize their election processes (and to conform to democratic election standards set by OSCE, the European Union, and other international institutions) and for developed countries that are under pressure to control government expenditure.Company OverviewScytl is the worldwide leader in secure electronic voting, election management and election modernization solutions.

As of January 2013, PHP was installed on more than 240 million websites (39% of those sampled) and 2.1 million web servers. Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, the reference implementation of PHP (powered by the Zend Engine) is now produced by The PHP Group. While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, it now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, which is a recursive backronym.PHP code can be simply mixed with HTML code, or it can be used in combination with various tempting engines and web frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a PHP interpreter, which is usually implemented as a web server's native module or a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) executable. After the PHP code is interpreted and executed, the web server sends resulting output to its client, usually in form of a part of the generated web page; for example, PHP code can generate a web page's HTML code, an image, or some other data. PHP has also evolved to include a command-line interface (CLI) capability and can be used in standalone graphical applications.Features HTTP authentication with PHP Cookies Sessions Dealing with XForms Handling file uploads Command line usage Using PHP from the command line I/O streams Interactive shell Built-in web server INI settings

JavaScript LibrariesHTML5HTML5 is a core technology markup language of the Internet used for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web. As of October 2014 this is the final and complete fifth revision of the HTML standard of the World Wide Web Consortium. The previous version, HTML 4, was standardized in 1997.Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.). HTML5 is intended to subsume not only HTML4, but also XHTML1 and DOM Level 2 HTML.Features

Light boxLightbox is a JavaScript technique used to display images and other web content similar to a modal dialogs where the image is shown up center filling most of the screen, and the rest of the window is dimmed out. The fundamental difference is that when a modal dialogs is used "the main window can't be used", a Lightbox does not stop this fundamental functionality. In a Lightbox, users can simply press the "tab" key to access links, buttons, or any other page elements; acknowledging the UI element will remain. The term Lightbox was originally the name of a specific JavaScript plugin, written by Lokesh Dhakar. However, common usage of the term has evolved to encompass Lightbox-style JavaScript plugins and effects in general.

Used by over 60% of the 10,000 most visited websites, jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today. jQuery is free, open-source software licensed under the MIT License.jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications. jQuery also provides capabilities for developers to create plug-ins on top of the JavaScript library. This enables developers to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, theme-able widgets. The modular approach to the jQuery library allows the creation of powerful dynamic web pages and web applications.

Document InformationIFrameIFrame (Inline Frame) is an HTML document embedded inside another HTML document on a website. The IFrame HTML element is often used to insert content from another source, such as an advertisement, into a Web page. Although an IFrame behaves like an inline image, it can be configured with its own scrollbar independent of the surrounding page's scrollbar. A Web designer can change an IFrame's content without requiring the user to reload the surrounding page. This capacity is enabled through JavaScript or the target attribute of an HTML anchor. Web designers use IFrames to embed interactive applications in Web pages, including those that employ Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), like Google Maps or ecommerce applications.

Authorization for user and adminAuthorizationAuthorization is the function of specifying access rights to resources related to information security and computer security in general and to access control in particular. More formally, "to authorize" is to define an access policy. For example, human resources staff is normally authorized to access employee records and this policy is usually formalized as access control rules in a computer system. During operation, the system uses the access control rules to decide whether access requests from (authenticated) consumers shall be approved (granted) or disapproved (rejected). Resources include individual files or an item's data, computer programs, computer devices and functionality provided by computer applications. Examples of consumers are computer users, computer programs and other devices on the computer. Access control in computer systems and networks rely on access policies. The access control process can be divided into the following two phases: 1) policy definition phase where access is authorized, and 2) policy enforcement phase where access requests are approved or disapproved. Authorization is thus the function of the policy definition phase which precedes the policy enforcement phase where access requests are approved or disapproved based on the previously defined authorizations.Most modern, multi-user operating systems include access control and thereby rely on authorization. Access control also uses authentication to verify the identity of consumers. When a consumer tries to access a resource, the access control process checks that the consumer has been authorized to use that resource. Authorization is the responsibility of an authority, such as a department manager, within the application domain, but is often delegated to a custodian such as a system administrator. Authorizations are expressed as access policies in some types of "policy definition application", e.g. in the form of an access control list or a capability, on the basis of the "principle of least privilege": consumers should only be authorized to access whatever they need to do their jobs. Older and single user operating systems often had weak or non-existent authentication and access control systems. "Anonymous consumers" or "guests", are consumers that have not been required to authenticate. They often have limited authorization. On a distributed system, it is often desirable to grant access without requiring a unique identity. Familiar examples of access tokens include keys and tickets: they grant access without proving identity.UserScytl doesnt provide on web user login facility instead of that it allows Voter Registration which is a web-based system for securely capturing and accurately assessing information obtained from citizens who wish to register to vote.
