Voting System in C

This is a simple tool that helps run elections from the command-line. It's written in C, with SQL. It helps keep track of who can vote, who is running for a position (a candidate), who has voted, and who won. Each person who can vote is unique and can only vote in certain elections. They use a secret code, their pin, to make sure they're who they say they are. Candidates are people who want to be elected or chosen for something. Votes are recorded, and the results show who won each election and by how many votes. This system makes it easier to run elections and keep everything organized and fair.

Build

Execution

After successful installation
run, make then use keyboard inputs to choose and enter data

Limitations

There is no admin, the user running the app is the admin
The main focus at this moment is to get something working

Improvements

Add bulk voters
Hash the voter pin
Keep system app running in a loop so that user doesn't have to run make all the time
Add actual graphics with table views and buttons where user can click to interact with the application
Keep activity logs (for both admin and a registered voter)
Switch to a MySQL or PostgreSQL (even though SQLite is okay but for the issue of blocking - locking)
