OpaVote
Covina, California, United States
What it is
OpaVote runs online elections and public polls, and can count ranked ballots gathered elsewhere. It supports checkbox, ranked-choice, STV, Condorcet, Borda, approval, and other counting methods, plus weighted voting based on factors such as shares or property surface. Elections use secret, single-use voter links so authorized voters can vote once. Managers can monitor email opens, ballot opens, submissions, delivery problems, and reminders for people who have not voted. Results can be viewed as charts or text and exported in CSV or JSON, with downloadable ballots and a recount link. The API lets customers manage elections from their own servers and returns JSON. Voting interfaces and notifications support seven listed languages, and voting works on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. OpaVote says it can support up to one million voters per election. The free plan allows three simultaneous elections, each with up to 25 voters and 10 candidates. Pay-as-you-go elections cost $10, paid once.
