Secure voting at live voting: This is how it works
Simple and location-independent
Online voting using POLYAS Live Voting is simple, location-independent, and follows the five election principles: free, general, equal, direct, and secret. In a few steps, you exercise your right to vote. Learn here how it works!
Secure voting at the click of a mouse
As a person eligible to vote, you can vote from anywhere in the world. You only require a web-enabled device (tablet, smartphone, laptop, or desktop). All current browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer/Edge, Opera, Safari) can be used and only need to be up-to-date.
The system architecture of POLYAS enables a strict separation of personally identifiable information and the electronic ballot paper. The secrecy of the ballot is guaranteed to you and the counting of your vote is anonymized.
