Electronic voting
An electronic voting system for supervised elections in Ghana.
VoteOS replaces paper ballots and hand counting. Your voters come to a voting area you set up, enter a one-time code at a terminal and cast a complete ballot. When you close the election, the results are ready at once.
How a voter casts a ballot
Set out laptops, tablets or phones at the voting area. Your officers check each voter in person and hand them a code. The terminal only needs a browser, so there is nothing to install.
- The voter enters the code, chooses on every position, reviews and confirms
- The screen resets for the next person
- Several terminals can run at the same time
- A code works once and never again
A ballot cannot be left half done
A ballot cannot be submitted with a position left blank, so there are no spoilt or partly filled papers to argue over. A position with one candidate gets a Yes or No vote.
Results stay sealed until you close
While voting runs you see turnout, and that is all. Nobody, including the administrator, sees a count for any candidate until the election is closed. Once it is closed, the result is final.
- Live turnout, so the officer knows how many voters are still to come
- Candidate standings are hidden while the election is active
- Closing stops voting at once
Everything is prepared before the day
From the administrator dashboard, add your positions and candidates with their photos, then generate the voting codes. Starting the election locks all of it, so the ballot cannot change once voting has begun.
- Codes download as a PDF of cards to print and cut, or as a CSV file
- VoteOS checks that every position has a candidate before you can start
A report you can print
When the election closes, VoteOS shows the votes and percentage for each candidate, and marks the winner of each position. Ties are shown as ties. The official results report downloads as a PDF.
Registration is free. One package runs one election and the price follows the number of voters, from GH₵ 100 for up to 100 voters.

Is VoteOS an online voting system?
It runs over the internet, but voters do not vote from home. Every voter comes to a terminal at your venue, where your officers can see them, and gets a code there.
Does it need internet on the day?
Yes. Each terminal needs Wi-Fi or mobile data, because every ballot is saved to VoteOS as it is cast.
What devices can we use?
Any laptop, tablet or phone with a browser, so you can use what you already own.
Can one person vote twice?
Not with one code. A code works once. Your officers make sure each person receives only one, the same way they would check voters at a paper election.
How do we pay?
Top up your wallet by Mobile Money or card, then buy a package sized to your voters. The exact price is shown before you buy.
