System Infrastructure Constraints

• Primary language for system business logic must be Python.
• System must use SSL for any web interface
• System must provide a web interface accessible from the internet for voters to use to enter responses

Poll Administrator

• System must provide a web interface accessible only to the poll administrators for administrating polls

Voters

• Interface for voters to register their votes is a standard web page
• System must validate voter response and be able to inform the voter that their vote has been either accepted or rejected.
• System must take all steps, and as many that are practically possible within the specified system constraints, to ensure that only a validated voter can and does vote in a poll that they have been invited to vote in
