Vota: assemblies and voting

Secret ballots with quorum

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Assemblies, boards and neighborhood groups that decide for real: secret ballots that hold even against the administrators, computed quorum and results at closing. In Vota's secret ballots, your organization can know that you took part. Never what you voted. That sentence is easy to write and hard to keep. Vota keeps it in the data model, not in a promise: the ballot is stored apart from the roster, in a place where no column holds your name, and the permit that connects them is deleted inside the very transaction that casts the vote. After that, neither the administrators nor anyone reading the database can rebuild the link. Even the ballot's timestamp is rounded, so cross-checking the two lists by time is not enough to identify you. FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION Building committees, homeowner and neighborhood associations, schools and parent groups, companies, boards, unions, clubs and co-ops. Any group with named members. FOR ORGANIZERS • Polls with one or many questions • Single choice, multiple choice and free-text comments • Secret or open voting, whichever the decision calls for • Quorum by attendance or by ownership share, computed for you • Weighted voting: every member counts for what the bylaws say • Import the roster from Excel, with a preview to fix rows before saving • Email invitations with a short link • Results and statistics at closing, with the quorum in plain sight FOR VOTERS • Sign in with the Apple account already on this device • Come back with Face ID or Touch ID • Vote in under a minute, from wherever you are • Get a code confirming your ballot is in the count, without revealing your choice • Cast the vote of whoever delegated their proxy to you, at their weight • Reminders 24 hours and one hour before closing, only if you have not voted THE APP AND THE SITE DO THE SAME Whoever prefers a computer votes on a computer. Nobody is left out of the meeting by the device they happen to have. HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS No system can promise absolute secrecy: in a vote among very few people, the tally alone says a lot. Vota is built so the secret holds against the administrators and against anyone reading the database, and it would rather explain that than promise magic. Vota is a Birdie product.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Since the previous App Store version, almost everything you do with the phone in your hand has changed. • Voting by unit: in a subdivision or a condominium the unit votes, and any of its members can cast the ballot • Proxies with a photo: upload from the camera or the gallery, the administration approves them and they count for every unit vote • Vote by proxy for another person, and delegate your unit's vote from the ballot • Roll groups, to summon part of the organization instead of all of it • Edit a member (name, share, role, status) and resume a draft before publishing it • The named record of an open poll, for organizers • Rename the organization and see who an invitation was addressed to before accepting it • The app speaks English: pick it in "Your account" and everything switches at once • An invitation link opens the app, and tapping a notice takes you to its screen • On iPad it looks and works the way it should • Fixed the unexpected close when saving a draft near a daylight-saving change
