Embedded Computer Application Software for Secured Voter Card Transfer: An Approach to Improve Electoral Integrity & Electoral Fraud Prevention Mechanism

摘要

Voter registration helps to facilitate the credibility of the electoral process by preventing multiple voting as eachperson is only allowed to register once. One out of many causes of disenfranchisement of register voter is thefailure to transfer their Voter Registration from one place to another when the case arises. That scenario has ledto multiple registrations which is a criminal offense in Nigeria context. This research work is to address thedifficulty involved in Voter Card Transfer. We design embedded application software proposed to be integratedinto the INEC existing website. A flowchart was designed using the procedure for Voter Register Transfer in theINEC website. The prototype of the application was coded with C++. It was tested to meet the demands andobjective of the study.
