Open verification

Do not take the result on trust. Check it.

CharterVote gives voters, members, and the public different ways to inspect the election record. Each check answers a precise question without exposing a secret ballot.

No account is required. Never enter a voting token into a verification form.

Three public checks

One election. Three different questions.

Verification is not one vague badge. CharterVote separates ballot inclusion, election integrity, and certificate authenticity so every verdict says exactly what was checked.

01

For a voter

Was my anonymous ballot recorded?

Check the receipt issued after voting against the public bulletin board. A match confirms inclusion without naming the voter or showing any selection.

02

For members and observers

Does the published result match the record?

Open the election integrity report. It recomputes the sealed evidence and identifies each check as passed, failed, not applicable, or unavailable.

03

For anyone holding a certificate

Is this winner certificate authentic?

Enter its serial or scan its printed code. The public page recomputes the result and lets you compare the office, winner, vote count, and sealed hashes.

What the public report checks

The result is checked against the retained evidence

At publication, CharterVote issues an immutable integrity statement. Each later visit recomputes the applicable evidence and compares it with that statement instead of reading a stored verdict.

The verification path

Four steps, written for ordinary members

The cryptography runs underneath. The public experience stays direct.

  1. 01

    Keep the code

    Save the ballot receipt issued after voting, the election access code, or the serial printed on a winner certificate.

  2. 02

    Open the verification hub

    Choose the matching check for an election, ballot receipt, or certificate.

  3. 03

    Enter the reference

    Submit the code exactly as it appears. Sensitive voting tokens are never requested on this page.

  4. 04

    Read the verdict

    Review what passed, what failed, and what the result can and cannot establish.

An honest boundary

What verification proves, and what it does not

A trustworthy verification page should state the limit of its claim as clearly as the claim itself.

It can establish

  • A supplied ballot receipt appears in the anonymous bulletin record.
  • The applicable retained evidence agrees with the sealed publication statement.
  • A certificate agrees with the recomputed election result.
  • A changed or incomplete record causes the affected public check to fail or report that it is unavailable.

It cannot establish

  • Who cast a particular ballot or which selections that person made.
  • Whether a voter intended to choose the selections submitted from their device.
  • Whether a voter device or environment was secure.
  • Events, coercion, eligibility decisions, or conduct outside CharterVote.
Questions members ask

Verification, without the fine print

Can someone use my receipt to see how I voted?

No. A ballot receipt confirms that an anonymous ballot is present in the public record. It contains no voter identity and reveals no selections.

What does a passing integrity report prove?

It shows that the retained election evidence agrees with the statement issued when the result was published. It does not prove voter intent, device security, or events outside CharterVote.

Do I need technical knowledge to verify an election?

No. Enter the election code, ballot receipt, or certificate serial in the verification hub. CharterVote performs the checks and explains the verdict in plain language.

What happens if the retained record changes?

The public checks are recomputed from the retained evidence. If it no longer agrees with the sealed publication record, the affected check fails instead of displaying a stored success claim.
