The platform
Everything you need to run an election, and prove you ran it properly.
Verified member rolls, ballots on any device, live turnout, and a complete record of every decision — without the spreadsheets, ballot boxes and disputes.
How it works
One pipeline, from member roll to declared result.
Each stage produces evidence you can show your members and regulator.
Verify your members
Members enrol with an ID document scan, a face match and a liveness check, tuned for African identity documents. Every verification ends with a human review — nothing is auto-approved.
Open the ballot
Members vote from a phone or a browser. Choose first-past-the-post, ranked-choice or approval voting, position by position.
Declare with evidence
Turnout updates live as ballots arrive. Every voter keeps a receipt they can check themselves, and results are tallied, reviewed and certified in the system.
Capabilities
Built for real member organisations.
Switch on only the modules you need — a 200-member co-op AGM and a multi-branch union election run on the same rails.
Identity verification
Document scanning and OCR, face matching, liveness detection, fingerprint and NFC e-ID chip reads, each reviewed by your administrators.
Ballots and voting methods
First-past-the-post, ranked-choice and approval voting, with a ballot designer and templates for multi-position elections.
Live command centre
Turnout, position-by-position progress and anomaly alerts on a results wall you can put on screen for observers.
Reach every member
SMS notifications and one-time passcodes, with flows that work on basic handsets.
Observers and disputes
Accredit observers with their own access, and record disputes and their resolutions against the election.
Full election lifecycle
Nominations, vetting, gazettement, campaigns, voting, tallying and certification — each stage recorded.
