Abstract
Elections in changamwe constituency are being conducted using a manual system. Voters are
registered manually in a file system causing long queues during election period. There were
also cases of double registration of voters, missing name of voters and incorrect names
entered caused by traditional file systems that are slow and tedious.
The old systems also faces delays in vote counting caused by manual counting of votes, and
as a result of that the turnout is low. Since most population is scattered in different parts of
changamwe, it becomes so hard for them to leave there work and go to polling station. They
were also cases of rigging and corruption which arise during the election process, since there
were some candidates or officials who manipulate and influence the outcome and finally
results are announced that are erroneous and contradictory.
