The whole process
From "we need an election" to "the polls are open" in one sitting. Here is exactly what happens, in order, with nothing hidden.
Fill in one short form: your name, your union or association, what kind of vote you're running, roughly how many voters, your email and phone. Your email becomes your sign-in, and you choose your own password on the spot.
Then a secure Stripe checkout takes your $10 payment — card details go to Stripe, never to us. The moment payment clears you land in your own private election console with one election credit, ready to use.
Your elections live in your account and yours alone. No other customer — and no other administrator — can see them.
• A card for the $10 payment
• The name of your local or association
• A rough voter count (the price covers up to 2,000)
Two minutes, start to finish. No sales call, no demo scheduling, no contract.
The ballot. Add one question per thing being decided: a for/against proposition, an office with candidates, or a multi-seat race like delegates ("choose up to 3"). Each question can allow abstentions and write-ins. A guided checklist keeps you on track the whole way.
The voter list. Upload a spreadsheet (CSV) with three columns: member number, first name, last name. We show you a preview of exactly what will load — including any rows we'd skip and why — before anything is saved. Member numbers are stored only as one-way cryptographic hashes.
Choose how voters prove who they are. Either name + member number with a signed attestation, or — stronger, and right for officer elections — a unique one-time voting code per member that you download once and distribute.
Open. When your checklist is green, open the polls. That locks the ballot and the voter list and records a fingerprint of the roster in the tamper-evident audit log — proof the list wasn't edited mid-election.
Share. Every election gets one link. Post it anywhere: email, text, or a printed notice with the Ballot ID.
In-person voters. Members who vote by paper get checked off on the voter list so nobody votes twice; you enter the hand-count and it's totaled alongside the electronic count, reported separately and together.
Count. Polls close on schedule or on your say-so. Your teller (or two tellers, each with their own passphrase) enters the passphrase that unseals the ballot box — a passphrase we never store, which is why nobody can peek early. Results, turnout, reconciliation, and a printable certified report come out the other side.
What voting looks like for a member: they open your link, enter their name and member number (plus their voting code, if you used codes), attest they are voting as themselves, mark the ballot, review it, and cast. They get a receipt code they can later find on the published receipt list — proof their ballot was counted, with no way for anyone to tell how they voted.
