One member.
One ballot.
One record.
The polling station is the member's own phone. PollGuard proves who is voting, keeps how they voted secret, and gives the board a record it can put in front of anyone, for party nominations, AGMs, union and co-operative elections, and the campaigns around them.
Free sandbox: up to 200 voters and one practice election. Live elections run on an annual licence.
Sample screens. The names and numbers are illustrative.
Four steps, one record
From the roll to the certificate, every step lands in the same record. See every stage
Verify once
A document and a live selfie, approved by a named reviewer.
Vote anywhere
On the member’s own phone, or at a station tablet.
Check the receipt
Proof the ballot is on record, never the choice.
Certify
The board certifies and exports the results the same night.
The phone is the polling station
Members do everything on the PollGuard Android app, installed directly from pollguard.africa: prove who they are, read the candidates, vote and keep the receipt. Members without a phone vote on a tablet at a polling station. Ballots are never cast by SMS or on a web page.

was counted
Who is voting is proven.
How they voted is never shown.
Each member proves who they are once, on their own phone. A named reviewer approves every verification, and every officer who assists is named in the record.
1 · The document
The member scans their ID; its machine-readable lines fill in the details.
2 · A live selfie
Taken live in the app, never from the gallery, with liveness prompts, then matched to the document's photo.
3 · Verified
Software scores the match; a named reviewer approves every member. Borderline matches get the closest look.
4 · At the ballot
A face re-check or the phone's biometric. Officers see who has voted, never how.
From nomination
to certificate
The electoral board runs the whole election in one place: positions and candidates, the ballot, polling centres and SmartBox scanners, a live command centre on the wall, and results the board certifies.

Nominations & vetting
Positions, candidates and clearance, on a calendar the board sets. Appeals desk: Being built
The ballot
Designed, previewed and sealed by the board before voting opens.
Polling centres
Station tablets, officials and SmartBox scanners, opened and closed on the record.
The command centre
Turnout, centres and the record live on one wall. Results stay sealed until the close.
Results & certificate
The official count after the close, the dispute period and certification. Results export the same night.
Governance votes
The same for AGMs, SACCO boards, union branches and professional councils.
The whole election
on one wall
The board watches turnout, centres and the record live, on the wall in the tally room, on a laptop, or in the officials' app. While voting is open, no candidate figure is shown anywhere; the faces stay in ballot order until the board closes the ballot.
01020304Sealed while voting
Candidates appear in ballot order with no count, share or leader until the board closes the ballot.
Hover for every figure
Point at the curve, a bar or a county to read the value at that moment; open any panel full screen.
Never a single voter
Activity is released in batches of three or more, and small counties are grouped, so no ballot can be timed to a person.
Honest when it fails
Every panel names its source and time. A read that fails says so; it is never drawn as zero.
The secretariat,
run from one room
Campaign HQ keeps one register of members, supporters, agents and candidates, with consent recorded. Each desk sees the slice its role allows, and coverage gaps show by county, ward and station. Agent rosters and the election-day war room are being built.

What the country is
saying, measured
Sentimeter reads what is published in public: news, blogs, video comments and open channels. It scores it, puts media and the public side by side, and traces every number to the items behind it. It measures; it does not predict.
Six reasons boards choose it
Members vote from anywhere
The phone is the polling station, so turnout is not limited to who can travel to one hall on one day.
One member, one ballot
Identity is proven before the ballot opens, and re-checked when it is cast.
Secret by roles
Officers see who has voted, never how. The receipt check never returns a choice. Full separation of identity and choice is being built.
A receipt every voter can check
Signed in, a voter confirms their ballot is on record. Trust does not rest on the board's word.
A record that stands up
Roll imports, verification decisions, openings, closings and every change, each written with who and when.
