Elektor Pro: Secret-Ballot E-Voting with a Public Audit Trail
E-voting for unions, schools, and associations: anonymous hash-chained ballots with verifiable receipts, maker-checker governance, live results, and a tamper-evident audit log.
Overview
An election platform for organisations whose elections get argued about. It covers the full cycle: importing the register, vetting candidates, accrediting voters, opening the poll, watching turnout live, and certifying results. Its central claim: nobody, not even someone with full database access, can learn how a person voted, while anybody can verify the count was not tampered with. Six roles, a one-click role demo, open source under MIT.
The Problem
Organisations stay on paper because of trust, not convenience. An electronic system must prove two things that pull against each other: that no one can discover an individual's vote, and that anyone can check the count. Most systems store a ballot with a voter id, publish totals no one can verify, or let one administrator quietly edit the register the night before.
