Language is set by the administrator during election setup. All voter-facing screens display in the chosen language.
5 Voting Methods
Choose the voting method that best suits your election needs. Our platform supports Direct, Ranked Choice (IRV), STAR, Approval, and Multi-Winner voting methods.
- Direct — traditional single-choice voting
- Ranked Choice (IRV) — preferential voting with instant runoff
- STAR — Score Then Automatic Runoff
- Approval — vote for all acceptable candidates
- Multi-Winner — elect multiple candidates at once
Voting method cannot be changed after election setup is complete.
Enhanced Security Features
Ensure the integrity of your elections with our comprehensive security system. Each voter receives a unique 9-character alphanumeric code (XXX-XXX-XXX format) that expires when the election ends.
- 9-character alphanumeric voter codes (36^9 combinations)
- Single-use codes that prevent duplicate voting
- Automatic key expiration when election ends
- Elections locked once voting begins - no date manipulation
- Completed elections cannot be reopened or revived
- Anonymous voting option for complete privacy
Elections are locked once voting begins — positions, candidates, and structural settings cannot be changed.
Advanced Voter Management
Manage your voter database with bulk imports, automatic code generation, and anonymous key options. Track participation in real-time while maintaining complete privacy.
- Bulk voter import via CSV (up to 500 at once)
- Automatic 9-character code generation
- Anonymous voter keys for sensitive elections
- Real-time voting participation tracking
- Voter keys can be added during active elections (audit-logged)
Adding voter keys during an active election is flagged in the public transparency log and official report for full accountability.

- Official Election Report (printable certified report)

Elections are permanently deleted 90 days after they end. Download your results before expiry — deleted data cannot be recovered.
Public Transparency Log
Every election includes a publicly shareable transparency log. Anyone with the link can verify that the election was set up and conducted fairly — no trust required, just proof.
- Publicly accessible audit trail for every election
- Records all lifecycle events: creation, setup changes, voter key generation, voting, results
- Voter keys added during active elections are explicitly flagged
- Cryptographic verification (SHA-256 hashing) — tamper-evident record
- Official Election Report includes the full audit trail
- Shareable results page with public access
The transparency log is publicly accessible — share it with stakeholders to prove your election was conducted fairly.
Daily Voting Windows
Multi-day elections can restrict voting to specific hours each day — for example, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Fully automated with no admin intervention required.
- Set daily open/close times for multi-day elections
- Voters see clear messages about when voting opens or resumes
- Messages translated into all 30 supported languages
- Voting window times locked once the election launches (Iron Curtain)
- Uses the election's timezone with automatic DST handling
- Displayed in Overview, Settings, Transparency Log, and Live Monitor
Daily Voting Windows only appear for elections that span 2 or more days. No impact on single-day elections.
Audit Center
Void and restore contested ballots by receipt code. The Audit Center provides a transparent process for handling disputed votes while maintaining election integrity.
- Void individual ballots by receipt code
- Restore previously voided ballots
- All void/restore actions logged in the audit trail
- Voided ballots excluded from results automatically
- Educational info section explains the process to administrators
- Accessible from the Results tab in the command center
Voiding a ballot does not delete it — the ballot is preserved in the audit trail and can be restored at any time.
Write-In Candidates (Pro)
Allow voters to write in candidate names not on the ballot. Available for Direct, Approval, and Multi-Winner elections. Smart name consolidation automatically matches variations.
- Per-position toggle — enable write-ins for specific positions only
- Smart consolidation normalizes names (case, whitespace, Unicode)
- Auto-matches write-ins to existing candidates when names match
- Admin reconciliation tool to map misspelled names after voting
- Dedicated Write-In Report CSV with vote counts and mapping status
- Write-in badges on all results surfaces (Results, Monitor, Report)
Write-in candidates are a Pro election perk. RCV and STAR elections do not support write-ins due to structural complexity.
