Presently, both Students? and Staff unions elections in Abia State College of Education (Technical) Arochukwu are being conducted manually and using paper ballots. This manual method is costly, stressful and time consuming. To mitigate these problems, the researchers developed a web-based voting system for both students and staff unions use. With this system in place, staff and students can vote the candidates of their choice. The system has a mechanism for not allowing double election by a voter and declares winners immediately after the last voter casted his/her vote. In addition, user can view and print election results. The system was implemented using html, PHP, CSS and Javascript web technologies.. The developed system was tested by some staff and students of the College using real data. Thereafter, a questionnaire designed to measure user?s satisfaction with the use of the developed system was administered to 12 staff and the students that tested the developed system. The data was then collected from the questionnaire and analyzed. The result of the analysis shows that the evaluators are satisfied with the performance of the developed system. Furthermore, the evaluators recommended that the developed system can be used by the College for purpose of unions? elections.
