The Development of Voting Result Data Transfer to the Central Tabulating Facilities.

Abstract

Advances in election voting process nowadays has triggered the application of virtualization technique in several countries. Most studies raised concern about Online Voting which provides cost saving and convinience. The voting system using virtual network technology aims to reduce considerable calculation time as well as necessary human resources. Despite this, Indonesia still performs voting during election manually. Therefore, this research is performed to study the application of small scale Online Voting at the Department of Computer Science, Bogor Agricultural University as well as studying its further possibility for applying this technique in larger scales. Considering the complexity in building a complete secure online election voting process, this research is focused only in developing a system to send vote from voter to Central Tabulating Facilities (CTF) by implementing a modified secure election protocol with Two Central Facilities. It is also conducted to implement earlier research recommendations to make the system more secure as well as how to integrate an election voting system from a single host into multiple hosts by using Java Web Start Technology.
