Introduction

Voting is one of the fundamental pillars of democracy. In the modern world, voting is increasingly done using digital systems.
This project demonstrates a console-based Voting System in Python, where users can register candidates, cast votes, and view election results in a secure manner.

---

Features

• Candidate Registration: Register candidates with unique IDs and names.
• Vote Casting: Cast votes securely while ensuring each voter votes only once.
• Result Display: View the total votes for each candidate.
• Input Validation: Prevent duplicate candidates, invalid votes, and empty candidate names.
• Interactive CLI: Menu-driven console interface for easy navigation.

---

Technologies Used

• Programming Language: Python 3
• Data Structures: dict (for candidates and votes), set (for voter tracking)
• Execution Environment: CLI (Command-Line Interface), platform-independent

---

Concepts Implemented

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
• Conditional Statements (if, elif, else)
• Loops (while True) for menu-driven interface
• Functions and Methods for modular design
• Input validation and error handling
• Data integrity using Python core libraries
