Voting system development 1

So the voting system has a rough plan and model. I have started building it, thus far only doing the front end as a way to imagine what backend is needed.

This mockup is the start to show how the system will work. Thus far I can see that I need a secure authentication system and a database table of users. Then I need a good way to perform the vote interation [the above is non functional ATM] which will submit the results of the interaction into some kind of database struture that will then be processable as a vote.

I am going to build using CakePHP, which is a development framework that should make a project like this possible for someone of my reasonably low level of php skill. My largest problem is the database design and the php script for the vote processing. This I think I will need extra help with, I’m not sure if Sion will have the time or motivation to do this…
