Paper ballots are slow to count
Counting is automatic, including instant runoff.
Officer elections
Elections New
Define the positions your department elects, decide who may vote and who may stand, and run nominations, voting, the count, and certification in one place. Ballots are stored with no voter, no timestamp, and no identifier, and every administrative act is recorded on a tamper-evident audit chain.

What we solve
Elections replaces scattered work with one accountable workflow.
Officer elections with sealed secret ballots, plurality, approval, or ranked-choice counting, voter receipts, and a tamper-evident audit trail.
Members doubt their vote is secret
The ballot table has no voter column, so no query can link a ballot to a member.
One person controls everything
Running the election, managing voters, and certifying are separate permissions.
Disputes after the vote
Voter receipts, a sealed ballot-box fingerprint, and a verifiable audit chain.
How it works
From setup to a record your department can trust.
Each step hands its context to the next instead of sending people back to a spreadsheet, inbox, or paper form.
Set up
Positions and requirements, disqualifiers, and a voter roll built from roles.
Nominate
Officers nominate candidates or members nominate themselves.
Vote
Members cast one sealed ballot and receive a receipt code.
Count and certify
Close voting, run the count, and certify the results.

Capabilities
What Elections includes.
The member experience, administrative controls, and accountability tools to run the workflow end to end.
Three counting methods
Plurality, approval, and single-seat ranked choice with instant runoff.
Sealed ballots
Each ballot is encrypted, and a tampered ballot stops the count instead of being skipped.
Optional tally passphrase
With a passphrase set, nobody without it can open the ballot box.
Anonymity safeguards
No voter or timestamp on ballots, hour-rounded roll times, and a minimum ballot count to publish.
One vote per member
Enforced by the database, with no recasting.
Voter receipts
Prove you took part, and optionally confirm your ballot is still in the box.
Tamper-evident audit
A hash-chained log you can re-verify, printed on the certified result.
Notifications
Voting open, closing-soon reminders to non-voters, and certified results.
Part of one portal
Elections works alongside the rest of your department.
Members keep one secure identity and one set of role permissions across every module your department turns on.

Questions
Elections FAQ
Can an administrator see how someone voted?
No. Ballots carry no voter, timestamp, or identifier. For the strongest protection, set a tally passphrase when voting opens.
Are live tallies shown during voting?
No. Turnout can be shown live; results are counted after voting closes.
