Authentication phase is so important because it is usually the first step to initiate a voting process. The inability of the system to correctly identify voters and authorize their votes can result in the same irregularities that are common to the non-electronic approach. This study presents an electronic voting system that makes use of multifactor authentication to verify voters before voting. The authentication mechanism relies on user’s ability to remember passwords and unique images chosen at registration. System testing was carried out 30 days after user’s registration. The system was evaluated by 50 user’s and it was found that the process is feasible, going by the fact that all 50 voters were able to vote successfully. However, the ratio of users who remember images on the first attempt to those unable to remember on the first attempt is 1:2. ER -
