About CharterVote

Making secure, anonymous voting accessible to organisations everywhere

Our Mission

CharterVote was built with a simple but powerful mission: to provide organisations of all sizes with a free, secure, and easy-to-use voting platform that protects voter privacy while ensuring election integrity.

We believe that democratic decision-making should be accessible to everyone, whether you're running a small book club election or managing votes for a large professional association. That's why CharterVote is free to start and free for small votes, with straightforward pricing only when an election grows larger or your organisation votes regularly, and never any hidden costs.

Why We Built CharterVote

Too many organisations struggle with outdated voting methods. Paper ballots are time-consuming and prone to errors. Email polls lack anonymity. Expensive enterprise solutions are out of reach for most groups.

CharterVote solves these problems by providing a modern, token-based voting system that ensures complete voter anonymity while preventing duplicate votes. Our platform is designed to be intuitive enough for first-time users yet powerful enough for complex multi-office elections.

Who it is for

From a committee to a federation

Professional associations, unions, cooperatives, faith groups, alumni networks and student bodies all run their votes on CharterVote. Each ballot is handled the same way, and so is the verifiable record it produces, whatever the size of the room.

Our Principles

Core Values

The principles that guide everything we do

Privacy First

Voter anonymity is non-negotiable. Once a vote is cast, it cannot be traced back to the voter. We collect only the minimum data necessary to run secure elections.

Security by Design

From cryptographically secure tokens to rate-limited endpoints, security is built into every layer of our platform, not added as an afterthought.

Accessibility

Great tools should be available to everyone. Small votes stay free because we believe cost should never be a barrier to democratic participation, and pricing for larger or regular elections is kept simple and fair.

Integrity

One person, one vote. Our token system ensures that each eligible voter can vote exactly once, maintaining the integrity of every election.

Community Focus

We build for real organisations with real needs. Our features are driven by feedback from the communities we serve.

Transparency

We're clear about how our platform works, what data we collect, and how we protect it. No hidden agendas, no surprises.

How it works

From access code to sealed record

CharterVote separates voter identity from vote content, so every election is private to cast and provable to all.

For organisations

  • Create your team and invite other administrators to manage elections together.
  • Set up elections with multiple offices, candidates and custom registration fields.
  • Share access codes with your members so they can register to vote.
  • Review registrations and approve eligible voters, who receive a secure token by email.
  • Monitor results in real time as votes are cast during the election window.

For voters

  • Enter the access code provided by your organisation.
  • Register with your name and email address.
  • Receive your token by email once an administrator approves you.
  • Cast your vote anonymously during the election window.
  • Your vote is sealed into the record with no connection to your identity.

The standard

Private to cast. Provable to all.

Identity is separated from the ballot the moment a vote is cast, so no vote can be traced back to a voter. When the election closes, the count is sealed into a tamper-evident record that any member can verify for themselves. Integrity here is not a promise; it is something you can check.

How far we take it

When trusting us is not good enough

For an election that will be questioned, a nominating board splits the key to the ballot box between your own trustees. We hold no share of it and cannot read a result, and neither can any one of them alone.
