Red Star College is a private school a small California town. They have an outdated IT system which was implemented in 1995. For example, the college's student database, class scheduling, registration system, HR and all other system were in sperate buildings and on different operating systems. The graduated student's records system is still on paper based (manual). The school has not centralized IT management system.

Scenario Electronic voting system (also known as e-voting) is a term encompassing several different types of voting, embracing both electronic means of casting a vote and electronic means of counting votes at (inter)national level. This system can also be used in a small scale, such as a general student body election at a relatively small private university where it is easy to implement security and reliability measures. The functions of the systems relate specifically either to the process of a person casting a vote or an administrator running the election. The software's main function is to conduct an election of officials using the internet to allow people to vote. A student who would like to cast a vote should first be directed through the university website to the election's webpage. Here, he/she will be asked to log in to the system. The system should verify that the student has not voted yet and then bring them to an instruction page. After the student accepts the terms of the…
