Ajowole disclosed that the website www.acossfpb.com <http://www.acossfpb.com> will allow the student  of the Computer Science Department cast their vote for the candidate of their choice from any location they are through internet facility
He said students can cast their votes even in their living rooms and monitor the voting process as well.
The developer said the website can be replicated   for the Student Union Government (SUG) election and by extension other election in the country
Speaking of the advantage, he said the website will prevent multiple registrations and voting, make the process credible by being free and fair and allows the electorate to see if their voting decision has being tampered with.
 The department electoral officer, Samuel Alade said the use of the website which is an electronic based system will prevent errors which are common with manual registration and the use of ballot paper.
He said the website will enable safety of the votes casted and make the counting of votes to be done easily.
While calling on the management of the institutions to adopt the system for all elections in the school as it is user friendly and cost effective, he pointed out that the students might want to reject the introduction of the electronic system due to their familiarity with their manual voting system.
