In modern society, ensuring secure and efficient voting is crucial for fair elections. Traditional method often faces issue such as errors and time consumption. To address this, the Automatic voting system is designed, to enhance accuracy and efficiency in voting. This system allows a predefined number of voters to vote for available candidates using unique voter ID.The main objective of this project is to design and develop a user-friendly system that allows voters to cast their votes electronically while maintaining data confidentiality and system security. To prevent duplicate voting, the program stores all submitted Voter IDs using a HashSet data structure, ensuring that each voter can vote only once. If a voter attempts to vote again, the system detects the duplicate and rejects the entry. Based on the user’s input, votes are counted through conditional statements and switch-case logic. Each vote is recorded and stored securely in memory using simple counter variables. After all voters have cast their votes, the system automatically calculates and displays the total votes secured by each candidate. Finally, the program compares the vote counts and declares the winner, or indicates a tie if no candidate has a clear majority.This system uses basic Java concepts such as loops, conditional statements, switch-case blocks, and data structures. This system shows that it successfully records, counts, and displays results automatically, and demonstrates how automation can strengthen the election process by providing efficient voting mechanism suitable for educational institutions and small-scale elections.
