ElectionChamp
ElectionChamp is a web-based voting platform for creating elections, collecting ballots, and calculating results. It supports plurality, ranked choice, approval, cumulative voting, nominations with write-ins, motions, and surveys. One election can combine several ballot items using different methods. Voters use a browser on a phone, tablet, or computer, without downloading an app or creating an account. Each voter receives a unique 16-digit key that locks after one ballot is submitted. Administrators can combine online and in-person voting, with votes tracked together. Email and SMS notifications, automatic reminders, and branded templates are available. When voting closes, results are calculated automatically with reports, participation statistics, and CSV export. The maker says data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and in transit, and voter identity is separated from ballots. Activity is timestamped and exportable for compliance records. The free plan covers up to 20 voters forever; the paid plan costs $10 per election for 21–200 voters, then $0.05 per voter after 200.
