SRC elections
SRC election software for campuses in Ghana.
An SRC election has a large roll, a long ballot and candidates who will question the result. VoteOS gives your electoral commission one-time codes for terminals on campus, and a result nobody can see until voting has closed.
The electoral commission runs the election
Your commission holds the administrator account. It adds each position, from President and Secretary to Treasurer and Women's Commissioner, with each candidate's name and photo. Then it starts and closes the election.
- All positions sit on one ballot
- The ballot is locked when the election starts
- A single candidate is decided by a Yes or No vote
Voting points across the campus
Set up terminals wherever students pass: at a hall, the library or the faculty block. A code works at any terminal in the election, so a student can vote at whichever point has the shortest queue.
- Your officers check each student against your own roll, then give a code
- The screen resets after each voter
- Laptops, tablets or phones can all be terminals on the same day
Turnout live, standings hidden
The commission can watch turnout as ballots land, so it knows how voting is going without anyone seeing who is ahead. Candidate standings stay hidden until the close, so nobody at a voting point can be swayed by them.
Results as soon as the polls close
When the commission closes the election, every position is counted at once. The report shows the votes and percentage for every candidate, so all sides read the same figures.
- The official results report downloads as a PDF to print and post
- A tie on any position is shown as a tie
- There are no paper ballots to sort or recount
A package is sized to your student roll: GH₵ 550 for 1,000 voters, GH₵ 1,050 for 2,000 and GH₵ 1,950 for 5,000. Any size between is priced in between, and registration is free.

Can students vote from their hostels or on their own phones?
No. VoteOS is for supervised voting. Students come to a voting point on campus, an officer checks them and they vote at a terminal your commission has set up.
How many voting points can we run?
You can run several at once. Each one is just a device with a browser, so plan the number around how many students you expect at the busiest time.
Can we add a candidate after voting has started?
No. Starting the election locks the positions, candidates and codes, so settle disqualifications and withdrawals before you start.
Does the commission see the results early?
No. Nobody sees a count until the election is closed, and that includes the administrator.
Does VoteOS hold our student list?
No. VoteOS holds no names of voters. Your commission keeps its own roll and decides who receives a code.
