1. Internet Protocol (IP):
Internet protocol is the principle communication protocol in the internet protocol suite. It helps in the relay of datagrams in across the boundaries of internet. Sending someone information in the internet requires a correct address. Each device in the internet has an IP address that identifies it uniquely. Since BallotOnline will carry most of the operations online, they will definitely use internet protocol in their networking.

IPv4 uses 32 binary bits to create a single unique address on the network. An IPv4 address is expressed by four numbers separated by dots. Each number is the decimal (base-10) representation for an eight-digit binary (base-2) number, also called an octet.
Typically, the IPv4 space allows us to have addresses between 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.However, some numbers in that range are reserved for specific purposes on TCP/IP networks.
