Task Overview:

Objective: Develop a basic prototype of an online voting system where a member casts a vote and the system checks against a list of eligible members to ensure they are allowed to vote and restrict them to a single vote.

Components of the Task:

System Design: Design the architecture of the voting system including data models and system components. Document the system design briefly, outlining key components such as the front-end interface, back-end services, and the database schema. Coding: Develop a simple front-end interface where members can cast their vote. This can be a basic web form capturing the vote. Implement back-end logic in a chosen programming language to process the vote, including checking against a list of members to verify eligibility. Write code to ensure that each member can only vote once. Database Management: Create a simple database schema to store member information and votes. Write a database query to check if a member is eligible to vote and to record the vote. Security Implementation: Discuss or implement basic security measures to protect the voting process and member data. Version Control: Use a version control system like Git to manage the code for the task. Provide access to the repository so that the interviewers can review the commit history. Testing and Quality Assurance: Develop basic unit tests or integration tests to ensure the functionality of the voting process. Documentation: Provide brief documentation on how to set up and run the system, including any necessary steps to install dependencies or configure the environment.
