How it works

From first ballot to sealed record

Four steps, the same every time, so the outcome is never in question.

Article I

Create the election

Set the offices, candidates and dates, then invite your members to take part.

Article II

Register and accredit

Members verify their eligibility once. Each is accredited for a single ballot.

Article III

Cast in private

Ballots are anonymous from the moment they are cast. No voter is linked to a vote.

Article IV

Seal and publish

The count is sealed into a verifiable record and published for every member to check.

On the record

A result your members can check for themselves.

When the count is sealed, the proof stays public. No insider access, no quiet edits, and nothing taken on trust.

Verify a result
The public record

Trust, but verify.

When voting closes, every ballot is sealed into a tamper-evident record. Each entry carries its own hash, so any member can confirm the count independently. No insider access, and no quiet edits.

The outcome

Every winner leaves with proof

At the close of an election, each elected candidate receives a Certificate of Election. It records the office, the winner and the votes of record, and carries the same seals as the count: a results hash, a configuration seal and a voter-roll seal. Every certificate has a public verification page, reached by the code printed on it, that recomputes the result live, with a PDF you can keep.

  • Issued for each elected candidate when the result is declared
  • A public verification page, checked by live recomputation
  • A downloadable PDF with a scannable verification code
For associations

Built for bodies that answer to their members

Professional associations, unions, cooperatives, faith and alumni bodies. Wherever a vote has to stand up to scrutiny, CharterVote returns a result you can defend.

  • Run board elections, motions and referenda
  • Token-gated member directories and access codes
  • An exportable, verifiable record for every vote

Beyond elections

Take a quick read of the room

Not every question needs a sealed ballot. Quick polls put a single question to your members, with one choice or several, shared by a simple link. Answers arrive in real time. When a decision has to be binding and verifiable, run a full election instead.

  • One question, two to ten options, single or multiple choice
  • Share by link, with no accounts and no setup
  • Live results you can keep private or show to everyone

What voters say

Left by people who used CharterVote in a real election, and shown here with their permission.

Excellent platform and outstanding customer support We used CharterVote for an association board election with a small number of voters. The platform is well designed, the voting process is straightforward, and the anonymous voting and runoff functionality worked very well for our needs. We did encounter a timezone issue during the setup, but the support was exceptional. I contacted the team and received a very quick and personal response. The issue was identified as a bug, fixed promptly, and I was personally guided through the verification process. We then tested the complete voting and runoff workflow successfully. What impressed me most was the responsiveness and genuine commitment to making sure everything worked correctly before our election. Excellent support and a very promising platform for secure and transparent association elections. I would definitely recommend CharterVote.
