First of all you need to show the options with radio button for voting. You can use a simple HTML page to do this or you can use the same servlet's doGet method to show this. Also the option butttons and the submit button should be inside a form and the forms taget should be your servlet, and the method should be POST. Add these to your existing code and then it should work fine.

what do you mean by not getting the desired result?.. which is not working as expected?
Did ur code write the cookies or do u have problem in reading it?.

Moreover what would happen if the user deletes the cookie and try to vote in your poll ?

yes murali,u r wright
If the user deletes the cookie, then it allows him to vote,
and more over i am facing another problem i.e when i am clicking vote ,it always gives the result like sorry u already voted, even the cookie expiry time reached.
