... implemented during voting, which manages, monitors and get the accurate data of voters ballots from the decentralised servers in regular intervals for compilation of data at a centralised server that can be much accurate, authenticated, authorized and coercion free. SNMP operating server can be easily managed as wecan compile data for the number of voters from a particular region or state who had voted on the voting day, and the results or data cannot be tampered with. Devices being used in casting ballots on election day can also be managed well. Numerous advantages could be achieved if SNMP implemented systems are being implemented by the election commission in the online e-voting system. Main objective of this paper is to propose a solution to monitor and manage the large-scale elections with secrecy,and curtail coercion, which is necessary to get hundred-per-cent accurate results for effective democracy.
