ABSTRACT During the previous Federal College of Education Pankshin (FCEP) election, student has to visit the polling booth before they can cast their vote because of the Direct Recording Electronic system of voting in use. In order to solve the problem ofstudent covering the distancefrom their hostels, classrooms etc. to the polling booth and wasting quality study time on queue during student election the technology ofmobile voting apps system comes into existence. Mobile voting apps make the casting and counting ofvotes more convenient and efficient, even making the electoral procedures simple and reduces the mistake ofballot examination. On that effect, mobile voting apps with practical utility was constructed using the methodolog call iterative waterfall model; literature review is used to clarifi the existing problem and the changes needed to be added to the news system. Furthermore, a design and implementation of mobile voting apps system was carried out. The result of this project is aimed at eliminating time wasting and stress which is associated with voting process and problems associated with voting such as violent behaviour and harassments ofstudent at the polling booth.
