What it is

VoterTerminal is an online election platform for civic leagues, HOAs, unions, nonprofits and other community organizations. It supports plurality, majority and ranked-choice (IRV) ballots, with results calculated when an election closes. Administrators can upload voter rolls as CSV files and send eligible voters personal access codes by email. During an election, they can track turnout, export results, confirm participation for quorum and inspect a timestamped audit log without seeing individual ballot choices. For in-person polling, the platform provides a QR code or kiosk display, plus password-gated ballot invalidation and reinstatement. Ballot links can be shared in Zoom, Teams, Slack, email or video-conferencing chats without an integration. The maker says choices cannot be linked to voter identities and describes TLS traffic protection, bcrypt-hashed admin credentials and expiring signed admin-session tokens. VoterTerminal runs on the web and Linux and can be self-hosted; the maker says self-hosted data stays on the organization’s server and the source is MIT-licensed. The free Community Edition is limited to one active election, two admins, plurality voting and no voter roll.
