Abstract
Most of the awards in Uganda be it politically motivated, sports, music or academic have been resolved by a majority vote and those some of them are conducted physically the biggest batch of musical awards have been conducted electronically largely on social media accounts and some on specific websites whose links are provided on different social media accounts and though some others are carried out using mobile phone SMS. This has resulted into so many irregularities and cries of malpractice rendering the whole election a sham and therefore making the credibility of the outcomes questionable. In this project proposal I carried out immense research and came up with a system proposal that could be used to solve most of the flaws of the current system thereby coming up with a new and better system to carry out these activities and improving the credibility of the whole results and outcomes hence adding quality to the awards. The case study was the Pearl of Africa Music (PAM) awards which were at their peak during the early 2010s and started to decline during the later parts of the 2010s with the majority of the population complaining of vote rigging and other malpractices which damaged the credibility of the awards immensely and hence damaging the awards as a whole leading to their decline and eventual collapse. The researcher has reason to believe that with the proposed system the awards can be resurrected stronger and better with more credibility and transparency and therefore acting as a benchmark for other electronic voting systems and other related research in a similar field.
