How the system works

Administrator is required to have created candidates. Before creating candidates, the admin must have created positions After doing this, the voters can vote (provided that they are registered and verified)

How do voters get verified ?

OTP is sent to voter's phone. In a case of OTP delivery error, voter can request for OTP again. The OTP is sent via an SMS gateway. Voters can request for OTP for a maximum of three times. Same OTP is sent to voters

Can OTP verification be bypassed ?

Yeah, sure. Open settings.py and toggle SEND_OTP to False Then, wait till server restarts

Open to contribution ?

Yeah. Pull requests are welcomed.
