Secure online elections with tamper-evident receipts and full voter anonymity
Ballotly runs verified online elections for associations, universities, corporate boards, and communities, with a security posture aimed at the two things people actually distrust about internet voting: tampering and identity leakage. Votes carry HMAC SHA-256 receipts making every ballot tamper-evident, the anonymity layer is described as air-gapped so voter identity and ballot content stay separated, and duplicate voting is blocked outright. A live demo on the homepage walks through a student union presidential race with percentages updating in real time, which is a sensible way to let a skeptical administrator feel the product before committing their organization to it. The free tier covers elections up to thirty voters, enough for a committee vote or a small club, with paid tiers scaling beyond that. If you have ever run a board election over email and spent the aftermath arguing about whether the count was honest, this is the category of tool that ends that argument.
