Online polling
for everyone.
A feature-rich, easy-to-use polling platform for clubs, organisations, events, and businesses. Create a poll in minutes, share access codes, and get live results — backed by cryptographic verification that keeps every result honest.
Polling made simple — and honest
Votercare Poll is an online polling platform that makes it easy for any organisation to run credible votes — from a quick show-of-hands at a club AGM to a multi-week preference survey for thousands of members. Create a poll, generate single-use access codes for your voters, share them however you like, and watch results arrive in real time on your dashboard.
There are no accounts for voters to create. They enter their code, cast their vote, and they're done. On your side, you get a live results view, a shareable public results link, and a full audit trail — all without needing any technical setup beyond creating an account.
Start free. The Starter tier is free for up to 10 voters per poll and 10 polls per month — enough to try the platform or run regular votes for a small group. Paid tiers scale from 100 voters (Club) through to 10,000+ (Corporation and National) as your organisation grows.
What makes it different. Most polling platforms rely on honour-system duplicate prevention — one vote per IP address, or one per email — which is trivially defeated. Votercare Poll uses access codes backed by zero-knowledge cryptography: the system can verify that a valid code was used without recording who used it. Votes are counted in a way that can be independently verified after the fact. The result is a polling platform that is genuinely easy to use, and genuinely hard to cheat.
Polling Service Features
Everything you need to run great polls — without the complexity.
Multiple poll types
Single choice, multiple choice, and ranked-choice voting. Set your question, define the options, and your poll is live in minutes — no technical knowledge required.
Voter access codes
Generate a batch of single-use access codes and distribute them however you like — by email, SMS, printed sheet, or link. Voters need no account; they enter a code and vote.
Flexible scale
From 10 voters on the free Starter tier to unlimited on National — your setup stays exactly the same as your organisation grows. Upgrade at any time from your account.
Live results dashboard
Watch results arrive in real time on your organiser dashboard. Share a public results page with your audience, or display the live tally on a screen during your event.
Embeddable results
Share a results link or embed the live tally on your own website, newsletter, or presentation. Results update automatically as votes come in.
Complete audit trail
Every poll produces a cryptographic log that any participant can use to independently verify the final count — not a claim you take on trust, but a proof you can check.
Live Quiz & Presentation Mode
Live presentation in Quiz Mode to test your audience against a set of pre-recorded questions. The audience answers are shown live on your screen as they come in. Great for live meetings, in-person or online!
Privacy & Integrity Features
You may not need it today, but when you do need to rely on privacy and accurate vote tallying, Voter.Care already provides this for all your polls.
Zero-knowledge eligibility proof
Your device generates a ZK proof of group membership — proving eligibility without revealing identity. The system learns only that a valid credential was used, nothing else.
Nullifier-based duplicate prevention
A per-election nullifier derived from your credential blocks double-voting. The nullifier cannot be reverse-linked to you — privacy is preserved even while fraud is prevented.
Homomorphic ballot encryption
Votes are encrypted on your device. The operator tallies encrypted ballots without decrypting any individual vote. Only the aggregate result is ever revealed.
Benaloh challenge verification
At any point you can challenge your device to prove it encrypted your vote correctly. A challenged ballot is discarded, not counted — so there is no coercible receipt.
Live + verified tally — separated by design
During the voting window: a fast provisional counter, like a live scoreboard. After it closes: nullifier deduplication and ZK proof verification produce a cryptographically audited result.
Open source & independently auditable
Planned: all code will be publicly available and reproducibly built, so the accuracy and privacy claims above can be verified from source — not taken on trust from a marketing page.
Who is it for?
Any organisation that needs a fast, honest online vote — without complex identity infrastructure or expensive per-election pricing.
Clubs & societies
AGM motions, officer elections, and member surveys for sports clubs, hobby societies, and community groups — set up in minutes, no IT help needed.
Trade & professional associations
Member preference polls, policy surveys, and advisory ballots where the credibility of the result matters to your membership.
Live events & conferences
Real-time audience polling during talks, panels, and workshops. Broadcast the live result to the room as votes arrive.
Media & entertainment
Viewer choice awards, fan polls, and audience votes where a verifiable result adds weight to the outcome.
Businesses & workplaces
Team preference polls, strategy surveys, and internal governance votes with a full audit trail — credible results without the spreadsheet.
Schools & universities
Student union elections, class rep votes, and campus preference polls. Quick for organisers to set up; straightforward for students to use.
Residents & community groups
Residents' association votes, local planning consultations, and neighbourhood surveys where a clear, honest count is needed.
Sports clubs
Player of the match, kit design choices, fixture preferences — any vote where the outcome should be above dispute.

Poll vs Elect
Both products share the same cryptographic engine. The difference is identity assurance — and the regulatory context each is designed for.

|---|---|---|
| Self-service setup in minutesⓘOrganiser: Configure a poll, generate access codes, and go live without contacting support or waiting for provisioning. | ||

| ZK eligibility proofsⓘVoter: Your device proves you are eligible to vote without revealing who you are. Eligibility is verified; identity stays private. | ||
| Nullifier double-vote preventionⓘVoter: A unique per-poll fingerprint derived from your credential prevents casting more than one vote, without linking the fingerprint back to you. | ||
