This GitHub repository contains the source code and related files for an online election system. The system allows users to register as candidates, vote for candidates, and view election results. It provides an intuitive web-based interface for administrators to manage candidate registrations and view user details.

Candidates can register by providing their party name, candidate name, and age.

Users can log in with their credentials to access the system.

Implemented captcha verification to enhance security and prevent automated bot attacks.

Users can cast their votes for their preferred candidates.

After voting, users can view the election results to see the current standings.

Administrators have access to a dedicated panel to manage candidate registrations and view user details.

The system includes enhanced styling and user-friendly interfaces for seamless navigation.

This repository serves as a comprehensive solution for conducting online elections efficiently and securely. It incorporates essential features and provides a solid foundation for further customization and expansion based on specific requirements.

The online election system is built using a combination of HTML, CSS, and Python with the Flask web framework. Here's a brief overview of how the code works:

Users can register for an account by providing their username, password, and other necessary details. The registration form validates the user input and stores the information securely in the database. Registered users can then log in using their credentials.

Admin users can access the admin panel and register candidates for the election. They provide the party name, candidate name, and age for each candidate. The candidate registration form ensures that the required fields are filled in and saves the candidate details in the database.

Logged-in users can cast their votes for their preferred candidates. The system ensures that each user can only vote once. The vote is recorded in the database and associated with the respective candidate.

The system calculates the election results based on the votes cast by the users. The result page displays the current standings of the candidates, allowing users to see which candidates are leading.

To enhance security, the system includes captcha verification during the login process. This helps prevent automated bot attacks and ensures that only human users can access the system.

The system provides an intuitive user interface with enhanced styling and a user-friendly layout. Users can easily navigate between different pages, such as the home page, registration page, login page, candidate list, and result page.

The code utilizes a database (such as MySQL) to store user details, candidate information, and vote records. SQL queries are used to retrieve and manipulate data from the database.

To run the online election system code, you will need the following:

1. Python: Ensure that Python is installed on your system. The code is compatible with Python 3.

2. Flask: Install the Flask web framework, which is used to build the web application. You can install Flask using pip, the Python package manager. pip install flask

3. SQL Database: The code utilizes a database to store user details, candidate information, and vote records. You can choose a suitable SQL database such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite. Install the necessary database system and set up the required credentials.

4. Database Connector: Install the appropriate Python database connector library based on the database system you choose. For example, if you're using MySQL, you can install the mysql-connector-python library. pip install mysql-connector-python

5. Web Browser: You will need a web browser to access and interact with the online election system.

6. hCaptcha API Key: The code includes captcha verification during the login process. Obtain an hCaptcha API key by signing up at the hCaptcha website (https://www.hcaptcha.com/). Replace the data-sitekey attribute in the code with your own API key.

7. HTML, CSS, and Static Files: The code utilizes HTML templates and CSS files for the frontend design. Ensure that the HTML templates and CSS files are properly linked and stored in the appropriate directories. Place static files (e.g., images) in the static directory.

Once you have fulfilled these requirements, you can run the code by executing the main Python file. Make sure to configure the database connection settings within the code, including the database host, username, password, and database name.

It's recommended to set up a virtual environment for the project to isolate the dependencies and prevent conflicts with other Python projects on your system. You can use tools like venv or conda to create and activate a virtual environment.

By combining these components, the online election system enables users to register, log in, vote, and view election results in a secure and user-friendly manner. The code can be customized and expanded upon to meet specific requirements and enhance the functionality of the system.
