From the software engineering point of view, electronic vote systems, as any other information system, should go a development life cycle in order to be used by the final user, also called actor. Due to this systems’ characteristics, social and political context in which they operate, they deserve a special modeling. However, most of the times, codification of them is only given importance, ignoring requirements modeling which is the first task of their development life cycle.

Considering the aforementioned, in this paper we purpose a requirements modeling methodology for an electronic vote system. The methodology defines a set of procedures to obtain models that represent the static behavior of an inexistent system. It is important to mention that in order to observe the performance of proposed methodology, obtained models were used within a practical case, in which, among other results, we obtained a reduction of spent time on each task of the development life cycle of such systems.



Keywords: Definition templates, electronic vote system, functional requirements, modeling, use cases.
