Election Guidelines

Voter Registration Phase

Before voting opens, every eligible Computer Science student must complete online registration:

• Go to the Voter Registration Page.
• Enter your Full Name, official Email Address, and Matriculation Number.
• Upload a clear photo of your Student ID card or stamped Course Registration Form.
• Note the daily registration quota (e.g., 120 registrations per day). If full, return at 00:00 AM.

Verification & Approval

The Electoral Committee verifies your uploaded documents against the departmental student database.

• You can check your verification status on the Home page using the Status Checker.
• If approved, you will receive your unique secret **Voting PIN** via email before voting starts.
• If rejected, check your email for the reason specified by the committee.

Casting Your Vote

When the election status changes to ONGOING:

• Navigate to the Voting Portal.
• Log in using your Matriculation Number and secret Voting PIN.
• Review candidate manifestos and select your preferred candidate for each position (or choose to abstain).
• Submit your digital ballot. Once cast, your vote is permanent and cannot be altered.

Receipt & Results Audit

After casting your vote, a cryptographic receipt token will be displayed on screen. Save this token! You can use it to verify that your ballot was successfully recorded in the election audit ledger.
