How it works
Three steps. Zero headaches.
From drafting the motion to sealing the final tally, the whole process fits between your morning coffee and your first meeting.
01Draft
Write the motion, set the roster.
Choose your type, drop in your questions, paste your voter list, set your schedule.
⌁ Avg. time: under 2 minutes
02Dispatch
Every voter gets a sealed, single-use link.
We email each voter a cryptographically distinct ballot. No shared codes, no guessable URLs. Identity is verified once, then stripped from the vote forever.
⌁ Delivery within minutes
03Tally
Results and an audit trail.
Polls close on time. BallotBadger publishes a human-readable results summary, ready to share with your board, and keeps an audit log of the key actions on every ballot.
⌁ Results available instantly
Built for serious decisions
Everything an auditor would ask for.
Nothing a voter shouldn't see.
BallotBadger is opinionated where it matters. Cryptography, anonymity, paper trails. Out of the way everywhere else.
01Encrypted in transit
All votes are transmitted over TLS-encrypted connections. Individual vote data is never exposed and only aggregate results are accessible.
02Cryptographic receipts
Each voter gets a verification code. They can confirm their vote was counted, without revealing how they voted.
03Flexible ballot configuration
Two ballot types cover most votes. Standard handles single choice, multiple choice, approval and yes/no/abstain, with one or more winners. Ranked choice runs IRV, or STV for several seats.
04An audit log of key actions
Creating, publishing and deleting ballots, adding and inviting voters, sharing results and team changes are all logged, with who did it and when.
