Built for
30,000+
students voting at once
How it works
Four steps. About two minutes.
1
Sign in with your registration number
No password. Enter your reg. number and we email a one-time code to the address your department put on the register.
2
Confirm it's really you
We email you a 6-digit code. It works once, expires in 5 minutes, and three wrong tries lock the account for 15 minutes.
3
Choose, one position at a time
SUG, your faculty and your department — only the races you're eligible for. Read manifestos, pick, or abstain. Review before you submit.
4
Keep your receipt
You get a receipt code that proves your ballot was counted — without revealing your choices. You're signed out automatically.

Results publish automatically at close. Verify your receipt any time.
Security isn't a feature we added — it's how the system is built. Here's exactly what protects your ballot.
Your identity and your ballot never meet.
The register records that you voted. Votes are stored in a separate collection with random IDs and no timestamps — so even with full database access, no one can link a registration number to a choice.
Two-factor, every time
- Random 6-digit code, never predictable
- Valid 5 minutes · single use
- Resend after 60s, max 3 times
- 3 wrong codes → 15-minute lock
Encrypted and sealed
Each vote is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and sealed with an HMAC. Any edit breaks the seal, and the tally reports it.
One student, one ballot
Enforced by the database itself inside a single transaction — a second attempt fails, even if two arrive at the same instant.
Every action audited
Sign-ins, codes sent, ballots cast and every admin change go to an append-only audit log. Votes can never be edited or deleted.
Closes on time, every time
Voting shuts at the scheduled second by server clock. Suspicious activity automatically freezes the election for review.
