Can we do these within a week or 10days. Your contribution.
Two brilliant head are better than one brilliant head, you know what I mean.

Just five people is good to go.

Good one there. It can be done
Let's start

Could be done in minutes.
The issue is credibility.

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.

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.

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.

We can do this by building some further security check apath from ip.

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.

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?

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.

Best way is to get the mac address of the device and this can be done with a Java applet.

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.

Except you have a malicious intent, don't think of other coders like that.

You are right about the sending of email to a panel.

Sure if this can be done, why not.

Try www.telize.com

Try www.telize.com

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.

With telize you can get the city and country check their doc

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.

backend, and more detailed values are returned

Their are much other solutions out their which you can try, also opt-in for a paid solution. I think their is one they call max mind..
