Why TapVoter Exists
TapVoter was born out of frustration.
While serving on the board of JCI Mandaue chapter (a local organization of Junior Chamber International Philippines, formerly known as The Jaycees), I found myself tasked with managing our elections. What should have been a simple process turned into an unnecessarily complicated one: printing paper ballots, distributing them to members, collecting them back, manually counting votes, and double-checking for accuracy.
I searched for a digital solution—something simple, secure, and ideally free for non-profits like ours. What I found were either:
- Enterprise systems with price tags our organization couldn't justify
- So-called "free" tools that required payment to actually start an election
- Solutions so complex they required technical expertise we didn't have
So I built TapVoter—the tool I wished existed.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
From day one, TapVoter was designed with a clear mission: to create a truly accessible election management platform for organizations of all sizes.
What "accessible" means to us:
- Actually free to use - No paywalls, premium tiers, or hidden fees to start your election
- Easy to understand - No technical expertise required
- Mobile-friendly - Vote from any device
- Secure - End-to-end encryption for election integrity
