Embedded Computer Application Software for Secured Voter Card Transfer: An Approach to Improve Electoral Integrity & Electoral Fraud Prevention Mechanism

Voter registration helps to facilitate the credibility of the electoral process by preventing multiple voting as each person is only allowed to register once. One out of many causes of disenfranchisement of register voter is the failure to transfer their Voter Registration from one place to another when the case arises. That scenario has led to multiple registrations which is a criminal offense in Nigeria context. This research work is to address the difficulty involved in Voter Card Transfer. We design embedded application software proposed to be integrated into the INEC existing website. A flowchart was designed using the procedure for Voter Register Transfer in the INEC website. The prototype of the application was coded with C++. It was tested to meet the demands and objective of the study.
