Flexi Vote – A Web-based Multifunctional Voting System

Abstract

Despite the underlying issues that stem from online voting, the prospect of online voting has garnered much attention in today’s world, especially due to its ease of access, feasibility, and scalability for most institutes and organizations. The power of the internet to connect people has been increasing daily in relation with the dependability of its users. This study discusses the effectiveness of the implementation and usage of FlexiVote, a web-based multifunctional voting system, on small-scale organizations and non-government electoral processes. It looks at how the multifunctional voting system affects different organizations within their respective electoral processes by providing its users a means to host their own voting processes as well as participate in it. FlexiVote differentiates itself from other similar voting systems by offering some of the more common voting templates, such as “Winner Takes All”, “Party Bloc”, “Bloc”, and “Ranked Voting” that users can conveniently utilize and configure. The study concludes with the overall results of the user experience in their usage of the voting system.
