School prefect elections
School prefect election software for schools in Ghana.
Counting prefect ballots by hand takes up teachers' time, and a spoilt paper can start an argument. With VoteOS, pupils vote one after another on a device in school, and the result is ready when the teacher closes the election.
Easy for young voters
Each pupil gets a code on a small card, types it in and sees the ballot with every candidate's name and photo. They can check their choices before they cast the ballot.
- Candidate names are never cut short
- The ballot cannot be cast until every position has a choice
- A confirmation shows, then the screen resets for the next pupil
One laptop can run the election
You do not need a computer lab. One laptop on a teacher's table works, with pupils taking turns class by class. If you have more devices, they can all run at once and the queue moves faster.
- Nothing to install, only a browser
- Laptops, tablets or phones the school already owns
- Each terminal stays under a teacher's eye
Print the codes before the day
After you add the positions and candidates, generate one code for each pupil. VoteOS gives you a PDF of cards with lines for cutting, so a teacher can hand them out as pupils come up.
- Forty cards to a page
- Each code works once
- The codes have no names on them
A result the school can read out
Teachers cannot see who is ahead while pupils are voting, and neither can anyone else. When the election is closed, the results and a printable report are ready for the headteacher to announce.
A package is sized to your pupils: GH₵ 100 for up to 100, GH₵ 200 for up to 250 and GH₵ 300 for up to 500. Registration is free.

Can pupils use their own phones?
VoteOS is meant for supervised voting at devices the school sets up, with a teacher watching. Pupils do not vote from home.
Can a teacher see who is winning?
No. Only the turnout shows during voting. Nobody sees a count until the election is closed.
What happens if two candidates tie?
VoteOS shows the tie on the results. The school then decides what to do next.
What if a position has only one candidate?
Pupils vote Yes or No on that candidate.
Does the school need a subscription?
No. You pay for a package when you have an election, and one package runs one election.
