Good one there. It can be done Let's start |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by codeaddict(m): 7:33pm On Jan 30, 2015 |
Could be done in minutes. The issue is credibility. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 9:16pm On Jan 30, 2015 |
codeaddict:It can not be developed in minute. What credibility? There will be loads of security check in place to ensure each vote count. If you are interested please send an sms to the phone number on my signature. |

codeaddict: We can even do it in seconds. http://www.nairavote.com All that is left now is a way to restrict voters to one vote, one device and to their state. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 11:13pm On Jan 30, 2015 |
internetvote:Seems most of our are thinking of using existing tool/script. Am talking about building from scratch to fix all the loopholes. I have thought of 5 ways to restrict voting to one man one vote. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 11:14pm On Jan 30, 2015 |
We can do this by building some further security check apath from ip. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by internetvote: 11:17pm On Jan 30, 2015 |
guru01: I built this application from scratch. All that is left is restricting voters from voting twice and to use their ip address to make sure they can only vote from their state. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 11:27pm On Jan 30, 2015 |
internetvote:You can include other measure: Like put an endless waiting time after voting,, if they change ip your can check for cookie or session, if they clear them also check if its from a different browser header, if they use another browser check for location latitude and longitude.... Enough said for security reasons |

just got this idea before I slept. Try and limit the ip address to be from Nigeria. This way you will prevent the use of proxy and vpn. If you implement this successfully, you can now run the if statement by checking other criteria. Also use ajax for submitting the result and prevent direct access to call the file processing the result. |

When I said credibility I didn't mean security. I meant credibility of the participating coders. AIT's polling was secure. But was it credible? What's to stop a coder with bias, having access to the Db from incrementing votes for a particular candidate? Or from working based on knowledge of existing security, to help vote multiple times for a candidate? |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by blenyo11(m): 10:50am On Jan 31, 2015 |
codeaddict:Hmmmm. 2ru talk. Project closed |

Here is a nice one: https://www.nairaland.com/2122821/best-opinion-poll-2015-election |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by internetvote: 12:17pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
blenyo11:Project reopened . The way around the db owner manipulating the vote is to send the votes to an independent panel at the same time they are been sent to the database, so if the db owner should tamper with the votes alarm bell can start ringing. 1 Like |

guru01: Best way is to get the mac address of the device and this can be done with a Java applet. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by internetvote: 12:26pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
guru01: I have seen some sites that can give you the region of any ip address. What I need now is where to get a good api for doing such, the free ones around are no good for finding Nigerian state regions by the ip address. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 4:15pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
codeaddict:Except you have a malicious intent, don't think of other coders like that. LET'S ENCOURAGE THE SPIRIT OF WORKING TOGETHER FOR CHRIST SAKE |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by codeaddict(m): 4:24pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
guru01:Don't be naive. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 4:34pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
internetvote:You are right about the sending of email to a panel. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 4:43pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
internetvote:Sure if this can be done, why not. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 4:45pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
internetvote: Try www.telize.com |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by internetvote: 7:35pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
guru01: Thanks for the link, I have already tried their JASON api but did not get the name of the state or city. Try http://www.my-ip-address-is.com/ with any Nigerian IP address it will show you the name of the city and state. I would love to get the api they are using. |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by guru01(m): 9:07pm On Jan 31, 2015 |
internetvote:With telize you can get the city and country check their doc |
Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by internetvote: 6:27pm On Feb 01, 2015 |

Re: Let's Develop A Superb Online Polling Unit by internetvote: 6:31pm On Feb 01, 2015 |
guru01: See what I got in the screenshot with telize for this IP address: 82.128.118.0 It shows the country but no city no state. Try the same ip address here with my-ip-address-is: http://www.my-ip-address-is.com/ip/82.128.118.0 you will see it displays the city and state.
