School Vote Uganda is a web-based voting platform built specifically for Ugandan secondary schools. It replaces slow, error-prone paper ballots with a secure digital system that any student can use from their phone. Each school gets its own dedicated voting space. Students vote using a unique ID issued by their school. Results update live the moment polls close — no manual counting, no disputes, no lost ballots. --- ## Screenshots | Home | Schools | Voting | |------|---------|--------| | | | | | Candidate Selection | Results | |---------------------|---------| | | | --- ## Features - **One vote per student** — each voting ID can only be used once, enforced at the database level - **School-scoped** — each school has its own candidates, voters, and results completely isolated from others - **Live results** — vote counts update in real time for authorised staff - **Mobile-friendly** — works on any phone, optimised for Ugandan network speeds - **Secure** — prepared SQL statements, session handling, and server-side validation on every vote - **No paper** — no queues, no manual counting, no disputes --- ## How It Works 1.
