How to Write Voting System Program In C

Posted on the 13 June 2023 by Adam Stiffman

Welcome back to our website today's post is about a programming project as we discussed the phone book project in c programming in our previous post similarly in today's post we will talk about the voting system project.


This project is quite famous and very easy to understand if you have basic knowledge then you can easily write the code for this project.


Here in this post, we discuss all the steps to make a voting system in c programming, so if you are facing some trouble in making a voting system then you can take a look at our program.


So let's start


Voting System in C Programing

1Setting up the Development Environment

2Designing the Database

3Creating the User Interface

4Implementing User Authentication

5Managing the Voting Process

6Displaying Voting Results

7Handling Security Concerns

8Testing and Debugging

Voting System Program In C


#include <stdio.h>#define MAX_CANDIDATES 5intmain() { int candidates[MAX_CANDIDATES] = {0}; // Array to store the vote count for each candidateint numVoters, candidateNumber, i; printf("Welcome to the Voting System!\n"); printf("Enter the number of voters: "); scanf("%d", &numVoters); printf("----- Voting Phase -----\n"); for (i = 0; i < numVoters; i++) { printf("Voter %d, please enter your candidate number (1-%d): ", i + 1, MAX_CANDIDATES); scanf("%d", &candidateNumber); // Check if the candidate number is validif (candidateNumber >= 1 & candidateNumber <= MAX_CANDIDATES) { candidates[candidateNumber - 1]++; // Increment the vote count for the chosen candidateprintf("Thank you for voting!\n\n"); } else { printf("Invalid candidate number! Vote not counted.\n\n"); } } printf("----- Result -----\n"); printf("Candidate\tVotes\n"); for (i = 0; i < MAX_CANDIDATES; i++) { printf("%d\t\t%d\n", i + 1, candidates[i]); } return0; }


Important Steps:

  • #define directive is used to define MAX_CANDIDATES with the value 5.More than 5 candidates cannot enter in this C program so if you want to increase the number of students then change the content value.


  • The candidate number is checked to ensure it is valid. If the number is between 1 and MAX_CANDIDATES, the vote is valid and the corresponding element in the candidate's array is incremented. 

After this, you get your answer now take a look at the program output.

Now you have the output



Conclusion


I hope you understand all the basic workings of variables and loops.


We will also come up with another c programming project in our net post so keep visiting.
