My C++ Voting System Program Algorithm by bet9ja(m): 8:39am On Jun 21, 2017 |
Hello coder, I decided to play around with a voting program that will request for Voter's ID. The idea behind the identification is based on the idea of the South Africa ID number system. SA ID number is 13 digit which is made of individual Date of birth, Month of Birth, Gender and some other security random number. You can also enter a random 13 digit number on this program and it will work fine, but just for testing. Security measures after preregistration of the voters: The program request for your ID number Check for voters eligibility based on their age through the ID, and display their age and gender. Ask for security pin which will be assign during preregistration to individual. Validate the security pin Display the candidate and ask voters to choose their choice. record the vote. Like i said, this is just a program i am playing with. ID to test with: 8210120603087 PINCODE: 50505 #include <iostream> #include <sstream> using namespace std; void candidate(int& selector) { string name; cout <<"========================================= " << endl; cout <<"=======WELCOME TO E-VOTING SYSTEM ======= " << endl; cout <<"========================================= " << endl; cout << "Enter 1 (ANPP) to vote MR OLUMIDE AYENI FOR PRESIDENT " << endl; cout << "Enter 2 (ANC) to vote MR ZUMA ZUME FOR PRESIDENT " << endl; cout << "Enter 3 (EFF) to vote MR JULIUS MALEMA FOR PRESIDENT " << endl; cout << "Enter 4 (DA) to vote MRS VICTRESS MBETHA FOR PRESIDENT " << endl; cout << "Please select: " << endl; cin >> selector; switch(selector) { case 1: cout << "YOU SELECTED 1 (ANPP) TO VOTE MR OLUMIDE" << endl; cout << "Enter your full name to confirm your vote: " << endl; cin >> name; cout << endl; cout <<"========================================= " << endl; cout << "THANK YOU " << name <<" FOR VOTING ANPP" << endl; break; case 2: cout << "YOU SELECTED 2 (ANC) TO VOTE MR ZUMA ZUME" << endl; cout << "Enter your full name to confirm your vote: " << endl; cin >> name; cout << endl; cout <<"========================================= " << endl; cout << "THANK YOU " << name <<" FOR VOTING ANC" << endl; break; case 3: cout << "YOU SELECTED 3 (EFF) TO VOTE MR JULIUS MALEMA" << endl; cout << "Enter your full name to confirm your vote: " << endl; cin >> name; cout << endl; cout <<"========================================= " << endl; cout << "THANK YOU " << name <<" FOR VOTING EFF" << endl; break; case 4: cout << "YOU SELECTED 4 (ANC) TO VOTE MR VICTRESS MBETHA" << endl; cout << "Enter your full name to confirm your vote: " << endl; cin >> name; cout << endl; cout <<"========================================= " << endl; cout << "THANK YOU " << name <<" FOR VOTING DA" << endl; break; default : cout << " WRONG SELECTION, Please Select between 1 - 4 " << endl; } } // Validate pin bool verify(string PIN) { if(PIN.length() != 5) return false; else return true; } int main() { string check, year, idNumber, gender, name; int age, select; cout << "Enter an ID number: "; cin >> idNumber; year = idNumber.substr(0,2); gender = idNumber.substr(6, 1); if(year < "10" ) year = "20" + year; else year = "19" + year; if(idNumber.substr(6,1) <= "4" ) gender = "F"; else gender = "M"; // Convert string to int for mathematical operation stringstream(year) >> age; age = 2017 - static_cast<int>(age); //Validate age for eligibility if(age < 18){ cout << "Your age is: " << age << endl; cout << "You are NOT eligible to vote" << endl; } else { cout << "You are eligible to vote, your age is " << age <<"," << " gender "<< gender << endl; cout << "Enter five digit pin number: "; cin >> check; if(verify(check) == 1 && check == "50505" ) { candidate(select); } else cout << "Invalid PIN" << endl; } return 0; } 1 Like |

u didnt implement a database... to check if the voter has voted before 1 Like |

wow, you should try and see how you can make it work in a cryptocurrency, 'Proof Of Vote' hashing |

frankg1:I don't mind to go further, i was only playing around thinking what i could develop with my C++ knowledge. I would like to develop this same program with more functionalities on mobile App using ionic framework, i will also appreciate collaborators. |

1. #include <conio.h>: Obsolete and Strange, u need to get a Good C++ Book https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list will help. 2. Multiple
Can be made into single cout << ...; call 3. use "\n" instead of << endl; 4. bool verify(string PIN) --> bool verify(string& PIN) bool verify(string_view PIN) // 1 Like |

for hashing use the infamous bit shift operators ^ |

Hibrahym: Ignore the header file declaration, that was my bad. Those codes were written within an hour and i never bothered to cross-check. I was only concern with the logical functionalities. |

Hibrahym: Somr parts are written with c++, some python. But really, Nigerian programmers need to up their game. I posted that I need a programmer for finishing job on a cryptocurrency, no one responded. Does that mean you guys dont study source codes of these cryptos? They are on github for free use and modification. Its a shame no one responded to my post. |

Have done project like this using C#. The main idea is to developed a voting system for computer science student. Have done the GUI, the software will collate the result and tell you the winner once its time. I even went as far as wanted to implement fingerprint scanner so that student don't need to enter there matrix number. The system will just scan your fingerprint, and blocks you if you had voted before, but the school politics then make me drop the project and I was 80% closer to completion. |

yahucoder: You could have finished it and have the project under your belt. |

BizBayo: By CC, I meant [b]C[/b]rypro[b]C[/b]urrency. (I actually saw your post about the Crypto, never took it serious though) Your wahala too much, which you want make peson study sef: - BTC, I don't like it much, too much hype, no privacy - ETH: not so decentrilised - XMR: great for those who like the word "privacy" - ZCash - Dash, NOT Dash Coin - Litecoin Take a pick. |
Re: My C++ Voting System Program Algorithm by frankg1(m): 8:12pm On Sep 24, 2017 |
bet9ja: I dont code in c++. I code C# and python. If u need collaborators, i am up for it |

Op code is fokn out of date |
