Governance work competes with mission work
Volunteer officers and small staff teams need a repeatable process that does not require election specialists.
Para organizações sem fins lucrativos
Serious governance without a heavyweight election operation.
Give a small team a disciplined way to prepare, run, and evidence board or member votes without paper counting or private spreadsheets.
No card needed. Small votes can start on the free tier.
The governance problem
The count is only one part of a credible vote.
Nonprofit elections often matter deeply while being run by people who already have full workloads. Confidence should not depend on adding another manual process.
Board and member roles change who may vote
Eligibility must be checked against the organisation's own rules before access is issued.
A disputed decision costs more than the software
When a result affects leadership or bylaws, an unexplained total can weaken confidence in the whole process.
A governed workflow
From eligible roll to published record
Keep administration contained while giving eligible voters a clear, private experience.
-
01
Define the decision
Set the election schedule, offices or questions, candidates or response options, and publication settings.
-
02
Review eligibility
Ask for the membership or board details needed under your rules and approve the eligible roll.
-
03
Let people vote remotely
Approved voters use one token to submit an anonymous ballot from a web browser.
-
04
Retain the record
Publish results with receipt checks, a recomputed integrity report, and verifiable winner certificates where applicable.
Defensible benefits
Useful controls, stated without overclaiming.
The platform reduces operational work without pretending governance decisions are informal.
Lean administration
A repeatable election workspace
Schedules, voter approvals, candidate information, notices, turnout, and publication live in the same team workspace.
Private participation
Identity stops at the ballot box
Registration proves eligibility, then the stored ballot is kept apart from the member record.
Durable proof
More than a result email
The public verification paths let voters and observers inspect precise claims instead of relying on a generic trust badge.
Um limite declarado com honestidade
Technology supports governance. It does not replace it.
Your organisation remains responsible for the voting rules, eligibility decisions, notices, and any legal obligations. CharterVote records the election it is configured to run and exposes checks on that record.
Questions before you choose
Frequently asked questions
Can a nonprofit use CharterVote for a board election?
Yes. You can create one or more board offices, add candidates and profiles, approve the eligible voters, and publish verifiable results.
Does CharterVote decide who is eligible?
No. Your organisers apply the organisation's rules and approve registrations. CharterVote controls token issuance based on those approval decisions.
Can we keep live results private?
Election publication and result visibility are controlled by the election workflow. For informal quick polls, organisers can also decide whether participants see a running tally.
Is there an option for a very small nonprofit?
Yes. The free tier is intended for small votes, and the pricing page states the current voter limit and paid options.
