Electronic Voting System

JavaEE Web Applications Course Project

Team: Echo

The Electronic Voting System (EVS) supports electronic polls. The voting system is accessible via the Web and allows an Organizer to create Polls and the respective questions for the polls. The system supports 3 different types of questions: yes-no, single choice, and multiple choice. Voters are able to abstain from voting. Participants of a poll receive a token via E-Mail when a poll is started. This token represents their ballot paper. When the voting period finishes the organizer can view the results with a graphical representation.
