EmpowerVote is a comprehensive voting system application designed to provide a secure and user-friendly experience for voters, administrators, and system users. The project is developed in multiple phases:
- Phase I (Client-Server): Focuses on server-client architecture, including backend functionalities for user authentication, vote submission, and session management. This phase ensures the core infrastructure for secure and reliable voting is in place.
- Phase II (GUI Implementation): Adds graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for login, voting, and viewing results. This phase enhances the user experience by providing intuitive interfaces for both voters and admins.
- Final Draft (Encryption): Adds encryption mechanisms to ensure sensitive data, such as passwords and vote information, are securely handled throughout the system.
