JCU IEEE president 2008 voting system

Today I was doing a voting system, for this IEEE president election in JCU singapore.
Actually I am not very familiar with Java Swing programming, so by this chance, I have done some reading of Swing.
Basically, GUI for an application is just a skin, never be the core. but I have to say it is also very time consuming for GUI programming. for this voting system, I spent more time on GUI than the actual voting algorithm.
At the end, I found what was really annoying me is the layout manager, in order to make my desired layout of all my elements, I have tried all kind of layout managers, such as FlowLayout,GridLayout,BoxLayout and so on. Luckily finally I made my elements there..hehehe, so for GUI programming, what is really important is how much experience of the Classes you have known. . .

I will upload the ugly picture of the Voting System once I have completed. . .
I have to say, I am really bad on designing..heheheh
