This study was conducted within the Independent National Electoral Commission, which is an organization responsible for organizing elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Given the reactions of the population and opponents observed in 2006, 2011 and 2018 during the referendum and the elections which amounted to electoral fraud. Thus, to allow this organization to be able to properly articulate its services and provide them in a short time, we have seen fit to develop a remote electronic voting system (n-tier client-server) which, voters having in their cards an identification chip, will begin to elect their candidates by choice through a client computer in each branch of the CENI (National Independent Electoral Commission) sitting in each polling station (BVD) and the general result will be displayed in the main server based in Kinshasa at the National Processing Center (CNT) in less time thanks to the Internet network through a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection to avoid piracy of the results.

Abstract
This study was conducted within the Independent National Electoral Commission, which is an organization responsible for organizing elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Given the reactions of the population and opponents observed in 2006, 2011 and 2018 during the referendum and the elections which amounted to electoral fraud. Thus, to allow this organization to be able to properly articulate its services and provide them in a short time, we have seen fit to develop a remote electronic voting system (n-tier client-server) which, voters having in their cards an identification chip, will begin to elect their candidates by choice through a client computer in each branch of the CENI (National Independent Electoral Commission) sitting in each polling station (BVD) and the general result will be displayed in the main server based in Kinshasa at the National Processing Center (CNT) in less time thanks to the Internet network through a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection to avoid piracy of the results.

Abstract: (french)
La présente étude a été menée au sein de la Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante qui est un organisme chargé de l’organisation des élections en République Démocratique du Congo. Vu les réactions de la population et des opposants constatées en 2006, 2011 et 2018 lors du référendum et des élections qui se sont résumées en fraude électorale. Ainsi, pour permettre à cet organisme de pouvoir bien articuler ses services et en faire dans un bref délai, nous avons jugé bon de mettre au point un système de vote électronique à distance (client-serveur n-tiers) qui, les électeurs ayant dans leurs cartes une puce d’identification, vont commencer à élire leurs candidats au choix à travers un ordinateur client dans chaque succursale de la CENI (Commission Electorale Nationale Indépendante) siégeant dans chaque bureau de vote (BVD) et le résultat général s’affichera dans le serveur principal siégeant à Kinshasa au Centre National de Traitement (CNT) en moins de temps grâce au réseau internet à travers une connexion sécurisée SSL (Secure Socket Layer) pour éviter le piratage des résultats.
