CharterVote
What it is
CharterVote is a web platform for associations and member bodies to run board elections, motions, referenda, and quick polls. Members verify eligibility once, receive accreditation for a single ballot, and cast it anonymously; they can use an access code without creating a CharterVote account. Public checks let members confirm ballot receipt inclusion, compare published results with retained evidence, and verify winner certificates. Enterprise elections can split the ballot-box key among an organization's trustees, so no single person, including CharterVote, can open results alone. CharterVote says its pages use HTTPS and strict security headers, and sensitive actions are rate limited. It says it collects only data needed for an election and lets account holders export or erase their data. Verification does not prove voter identity or intent, device security, or events outside the platform. The Starter plan is free for up to 25 eligible voters per election, with results and hosted verification kept for 365 days. Paid pay-as-you-go options start at $119 per election for up to 250 voters. The mobile app is described as coming soon to the App Store.

The verdict
CharterVote combines anonymous ballots with public checks for receipts, results, and winner certificates. Its verification has stated limits, and the free plan is sized for small elections.
