Abstract

ABSTRACT Vote3register is a comprehensive list of eJigible voter's in a constituency. It contains items of information about the voter. This information authenticates the right to vote. Voting in Nigeria has been marred in the past by every allegation available thus resulting into violence, chaos, and wantom destruction of lives and properties. This study has considered the process of automating the register to eliminate the defects of the old practice which is slow, cumbersome, with high error rate, and the loopholes for fraudulent practices. The data used for this study were obtained through observation and record inspection. The programming language used was Dbase HI plus. This was chosen for it's versatility and user's friendliness. The new system designed meant for the National Electoral Commission (!NEC) and can be useful for other organizations like the National Population Commission, and National Civil Registry, etc.
