A state or province list shows only the last two weeks, and the next two weeks when an election is scheduled. Older bills stay off this list.

Type a bill you already know. Press go to open the first match and vote.

Public ledger

Yes for the count. No for your name.

A blockchain can freeze the published totals so nobody quietly rewrites them. It is the wrong place for a phone number, a PIN, or which way a particular person voted. The same rule applies in Canada and the United States.

On the ledger

  • The yea and nay total for each clause
  • A hash of that total, so an edit is obvious
  • Receipt codes that show a ballot was counted, without saying yea or nay

Never on the ledger

  • Area code or the last four digits
  • The PIN, which is never stored at all
  • A legal name — this app does not ask for one
  • How one person voted
  1. 1

    You vote on this device. The ballot stays encrypted.

  2. 2

    A ballot box, not the chain, adds one to yea or nay. It does not write your number beside the mark.

  3. 3

    The new total and a receipt hash are pinned where anyone can read them.

  4. 4

    You keep the receipt. If the published total changes without a matching set of receipts, the edit shows.

Tally anchor for this docket

····-····

Built from the yea and nay counts on this docket. This preview is not connected to a blockchain. The code is the same kind of fingerprint a public chain would store. It does not contain your vote.

Check a receipt

A receipt proves the votes on this device have not changed. It does not reveal them, and it is not a government audit number.

Seal a ballot first to get a receipt. Open your ballot

A chain does not make a vote legal, and it does not stop someone who watches you type the PIN. It only makes the published count hard to alter in secret.
