Trust & Compliance

Open by default. Designed to comply.

Everything we build is open and auditable, built for protecting voter privacy, and aligned with EU regulations.

Fully open & auditable

Anyone can inspect how votes are protected and counted.

There's no black box, and no small group that quietly handles and counts every vote without being reviewed. The software that runs the vote is open, and the evidence behind every result is published openly, so anyone, security researchers, auditors, or your own team, can see exactly how privacy and verifiability are enforced and confirm the result for themselves.


Because it's open, you can check the result yourself.

You don't have to take our word for it. When a vote closes, the results and the evidence behind them are published openly, so anyone can confirm the count is correct.

1

Get the published results

Every vote publishes its final totals along with the evidence that backs them up, free for anyone to download.

2

Check the evidence

The results come with public evidence anyone can examine to confirm every valid vote was counted and the total is correct. No special access or private tool required.

3

Not technical? Ask an AI assistant

Hand the published results and evidence to an AI assistant and have it explain in plain language why the results add up.

Built to protect voter privacy

How you voted stays yours, permanently.

Privacy is enforced by the cryptography, not by policy or trust. No one, not even us, can link a ballot back to the person who cast it.

Encrypted on your device

Your choice is sealed before it ever leaves the device you voted on, so your unencrypted vote is never sent across the internet or saved anywhere.

No one can see your choice

Votes are counted while still encrypted, so not even the election authority, or us, can see how any single person voted.

Nothing to leak

There is no list linking people to their votes, so there is no database of choices to breach, leak, or subpoena later.

Designed to align with EU regulation

Built to fit the rules that govern public digital services.

GDPR compliant

Data minimisation and privacy as the default, ballots are never linkable to a person.

EU infrastructure

All data is hosted on EU infrastructure, keeping it within European jurisdiction.

Open source

Inspect every line.

Auditable

Anyone can verify the full result without seeing individual ballots. Each election produces a signed record and cryptographic proof your legal team can rely on.
