Feasibility Study on using MCDM for E-Voting

An online voting system manages elections and allows voters to cast their votes. It calculates votes to select representatives but often doesn't consider candidates' qualities. A good student leader should have strong academics, social skills, and university involvement. Current systems maximize voter participation but may lead to uninformed voting, resulting in low-quality outcomes and trust issues. This study aims to develop an interactive online voting system using the MCDM method to rank candidates based on relevant criteria. Literature on MCDM for voting systems is reviewed, and a user survey compares systems with and without MCDM. The study expects to show MCDM improves decision-making, leading to higher-quality results and greater user preference for future elections.
