Quick facts
  • Vote anytime, anywhere.
  • Instant tallies and reports.
  • Reduced paper & cost.

Why Online Voting Matters

Online voting increases participation by making voting convenient and accessible. It helps organizations—governments, associations, universities, and companies—reach more voters and streamline the entire process.

Accessibility

Remote or mobility-challenged voters can participate without barriers.

Speed

Vote counts and results are generated fast, reducing delays and manual errors.

Cost-efficiency

Lower printing, staffing, and logistics costs compared to in-person voting.

Security: The Heart of Trust

Encryption & Authentication

Strong end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and hardware-backed keys help ensure only eligible voters can cast ballots and that votes remain private.

Auditability

Transparent audit trails and cryptographic receipts enable verification without exposing individual choices.

Resilience

Distributed infrastructure, rate-limiting, and penetration testing protect against attacks and downtime.

Privacy

Designs must separate voter identity from vote content to preserve ballot secrecy.

How an Online Voting System Works (Simple)

  1. Register: Voters are verified and given secure credentials.
  2. Authenticate: Voters sign in using MFA or a secure token.
  3. Vote: Voters select choices in a UI that prevents overvotes and confusion.
  4. Encrypt & Submit: Votes are encrypted client-side and sent to the tally server.
  5. Tally & Audit: Encrypted tallies are computed, published, and verifiable by auditors.

Best Practices & Recommendations

  • Use end-to-end encryption and provide cryptographic receipts.
  • Implement strong voter authentication (MFA, hardware tokens where possible).
  • Keep a verifiable audit trail and allow independent audits.
  • Design for accessibility and usability—clear instructions and mobile-friendly UI.
  • Run public penetration tests and publish a security whitepaper.
