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 << "Enter your full name to confirm your vote: " << endl;
cin >> name;
cout << 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);

//Validate age for eligibility

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

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

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

    cout << ....
    cout << ....
    

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) //

Everything na CC?

for hashing use the infamous bit shift operators ^

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.

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.

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

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.

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
