Project Introduction
The Online Voting System is a secure web-based application designed to facilitate the voting process for elections, polls, and surveys. This system aims to provide a transparent, efficient, and user-friendly platform for voters to cast their votes from anywhere, ensuring greater participation and accessibility. With the increasing need for modernized voting solutions, the Online Voting System addresses these challenges by offering a reliable and streamlined approach to the electoral process.
The platform features secure voter registration, real-time ballot casting, and verification processes to ensure the integrity of the voting system. Users can easily navigate through the voting options, view candidate information, and submit their votes with confidence. Additionally, the system includes administrative tools for managing elections, tracking voter participation, and generating results. By automating the voting process, the Online Voting System aims to enhance the democratic experience and ensure that every vote counts.
Project Objectives
- To develop an intuitive interface for voters to register and cast their votes easily.

To create the models and migrations for the provided MySQL schema in Laravel 11, you can follow these steps.
Below, I will provide the migration files and the corresponding Eloquent models for each table.
Step 1: Create Migrations
You can create migrations using the Artisan command line tool. For each table, you will create a migration file. Here's how you can do it:
php artisan make:migration create_users_table
php artisan make:migration create_roles_table
php artisan make:migration create_elections_table
php artisan make:migration create_candidates_table
php artisan make:migration create_ballots_table
php artisan make:migration create_votes_table
php artisan make:migration create_results_table
php artisan make:migration create_notifications_table
php artisan make:migration create_support_tickets_table
php artisan make:migration create_feedback_table
Step 2: Define Migrations
Now, you can define the migrations in the generated files located in the database/migrations directory. Below are the migration definitions based on your SQL schema.

$table->string('Username', 50)->unique();
$table->string('PasswordHash', 256);
$table->string('Email', 100)->unique();

$table->text('Comments')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('feedback');
}
}
Step 3: Create Eloquent Models
After defining the migrations, you can create Eloquent models for each table. Use the following commands:
php artisan make:model User
php artisan make:model Role
php artisan make:model Election
php artisan make:model Candidate
php artisan make:model Ballot
php artisan make:model Vote
php artisan make:model Result
php artisan make:model Notification
php artisan make:model SupportTicket
php artisan make:model Feedback.
Step 4: Define Eloquent Models
Here are the basic model definitions for each table:

namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'users';

{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'ballots';
protected $fillable = [
'ElectionId',
'VoterId',
];

{
return $this->belongsTo(Candidate::class, 'CandidateId');
}
}

class Result extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'results';
protected $fillable = [
'ElectionId',
'CandidateId',
'VoteCount',
];
public function election()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Election::class, 'ElectionId');
}
public function candidate()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Candidate::class, 'CandidateId');
}
}
Notification Model
class Notification extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'notifications';

];
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'User Id');
}
}

{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'User Id');
}
}
Feedback Model
class Feedback extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'feedback';
protected $fillable = [
'User Id',
'Comments',
];
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'User Id');
}
}
Step 5: Run Migrations
After defining the migrations and models, you can run the migrations to create the tables in your database:
php artisan migrate
This will set up your database schema according to the provided MySQL queries, and you will have the corresponding Eloquent models ready for use in your Laravel application.
To create controllers for each model with complete CRUD operations in Laravel, you can use the Artisan command line tool to generate the controllers.
Each controller will handle the basic CRUD operations: Create, Read, Update, and Delete. Below, I will provide the commands to create the controllers and the basic structure for each controller.
Step 1: Create Controllers
You can create controllers for each model using the following Artisan commands:
php artisan make:controller UserController --resource
php artisan make:controller RoleController --resource
php artisan make:controller ElectionController --resource
php artisan make:controller CandidateController --resource
php artisan make:controller BallotController --resource
php artisan make:controller VoteController --resource
php artisan make:controller ResultController --resource
php artisan make:controller NotificationController --resource
php artisan make:controller SupportTicketController --resource
php artisan make:controller FeedbackController --resource
The --resource flag generates a controller with methods for all the resourceful actions.
Step 2: Define CRUD Operations in Controllers
Below are the basic CRUD operations for each controller. You will need to adjust the code according to your application's requirements, including validation and any additional logic.
UserController
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

Step 3: Define Routes
You will need to define routes for these controllers in your routes/web.php file. Here's an example of how to set up resource routes for each controller:
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
use App\Http\Controllers\ RoleController;
use App\Http\Controllers\ElectionController;
use App\Http\Controllers\CandidateController;
use App\Http\Controllers\BallotController;
use App\Http\Controllers\VoteController;
use App\Http\Controllers\ResultController;
use App\Http\Controllers\NotificationController;
use App\Http\Controllers\SupportTicketController;
use App\Http\Controllers\FeedbackController;
Route::resource('users', UserController::class);
Route::resource('roles', RoleController::class);
Route::resource('elections', ElectionController::class);
Route::resource('candidates', CandidateController::class);
Route::resource('ballots', BallotController::class);
Route::resource('votes', VoteController::class);
Route::resource('results', ResultController::class);
Route::resource('notifications', NotificationController::class);
Route::resource('support_tickets', SupportTicketController::class);
Route::resource('feedback', FeedbackController::class);
Step 4: Create Views
You will also need to create views for each of the CRUD operations. Create a directory for each model under resources/views/ and create the necessary Blade files for listing, creating, editing, and showing records. For example:
resources/views/users/index.blade.php
resources/views/users/create.blade.php
resources/views/users/edit.blade.php
resources/views/users/show.blade.php
Creating view files for each controller using Bootstrap 5 involves creating a structured layout and individual views for listing, creating, editing, and showing records.
Below, I will provide a basic example of how to create these views for each model.
Step 1: Create a Layout File
First, create a layout file that will be used across all views. This file will include Bootstrap 5 CSS and JS links.
File: resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Laravel CRUD</title>
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0-alpha1/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container mt-4">
@yield('content')
</div>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0-alpha1/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Step 2: Create Views for Each Model
Now, create the views for each model. Below are examples for the User, Role, Election, Candidate, Ballot, Vote, Result, Notification, SupportTicket, and Feedback models.
User Views

</body>
</html>
Explanation of the Layout File
HTML Structure: The layout file starts with the standard HTML5 doctype and includes the necessary <head> and <body> sections.
Bootstrap CSS: The Bootstrap 5 CSS is included via a CDN link. You can also add a custom CSS file if you want to style your application further.
Navigation Bar: A responsive navigation bar is created using Bootstrap's navbar component. It includes links to different sections of your application (Users, Roles, Elections, etc.). You can modify these links based on your application's routes.
Content Section: The @yield('content') directive is where the content of individual views will be injected. Each view that extends this layout will fill this section with its own content.
Footer: A simple footer is included at the bottom of the page.
Bootstrap JS: The Bootstrap 5 JavaScript bundle is included at the end of the body to ensure that the page loads quickly.
Usage
To use this layout in your views, simply extend it at the top of your Blade files. For example:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('title', 'User List')
@section('content')
<h1>Users</h1>
<!-- Your content here -->
@endsection
This will ensure that your views inherit the layout structure, including the navigation bar.
Let's continue by providing examples of how to use the layout file in your views.

Summary
These examples illustrate how to create various views that extend the main layout. Each view is structured to include a title and a content section, allowing for a cohesive user experience across the application. You can replicate this pattern for other models and views in your Laravel application, ensuring that all pages maintain the same layout and styling.
Creating a dashboard page in a Laravel application involves aggregating data from various models and displaying it in a user-friendly format.
Step 1: Create a Dashboard Route
First, you need to define a route for the dashboard in your routes/web.php file:
use App\Http\Controllers\DashboardController;
Route::get('/dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('dashboard');
Step 2: Create a Dashboard Controller
Next, create a controller to handle the logic for the dashboard. You can use the following command:
php artisan make:controller DashboardController
Then, implement the index method to fetch the necessary data:
File: app/Http/Controllers/DashboardController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\User;
use App\Models\Role;
use App\Models\Election;
use App\Models\Candidate;
use App\Models\Ballot;
use App\Models\Vote;
use App\Models\Result;
use App\Models\Notification;
use App\Models\SupportTicket;
use App\Models\Feedback;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class DashboardController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
$userCount = User::count();
$roleCount = Role::count();
$electionCount = Election::count();
$candidateCount = Candidate::count();
$ballotCount = Ballot::count();
$voteCount = Vote::count();
$resultCount = Result::count();
$notificationCount = Notification::count();
$supportTicketCount = SupportTicket::count();
$feedbackCount = Feedback::count();
return view('dashboard.index', compact(
'userCount',
'roleCount',
'electionCount',
'candidateCount',
'ballotCount',
'voteCount',
'resultCount',
'notificationCount',
'supportTicketCount',
'feedbackCount'
));
}
}
Step 3: Create the Dashboard View
Now, create the dashboard view file where you will display the consolidated data.
File: resources/views/dashboard/index.blade.php
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('title', 'Dashboard')
@section('content')
