Spec score 8.1 #10 of 31 in Online Voting Software

What it is

OpaVote runs online elections and public polls, and can count ranked ballots gathered elsewhere. Election ballots use secret, single-use voter links, while supported methods include checkbox, ranked-choice, STV, Condorcet, Borda and approval voting. It also supports weighted voting based on factors such as shares or property surface. Managers can track email and ballot opens, submissions and delivery problems, then remind people who have not voted. Results can include charts, text, CSV and JSON, along with downloadable ballots and a recount link. Its API lets customers manage elections from their own servers and returns JSON. Interfaces and notifications support English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Slovenian and Finnish; voters can use phones, tablets, laptops or desktops. The service supports 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 costs $10, paid once for every 125 voters or 20 candidates. Polls rely on low-security cookie controls to discourage repeat voting, so the service recommends an election where higher security is needed.
