POLYAS

POLYAS provides online and live voting for elections, meetings, and organizational decisions. Its Online Voting Manager lets organizers create ballots, manage an electoral roll, schedule an election, and monitor turnout in real time. A free test election supports up to five test voters. Live Voting supports meeting votes and elections with remote participation, and results appear after voting closes. Self-service options include custom logos, voter groups, ballot weighting, email reminders, and iFrame embedding for Live Voting or CORE 3 voting. POLYAS says voting data is stored and processed within the European Union; its architecture separates identifying information from electronic ballots and anonymizes vote counting. The company says CORE 2.5.0 meets Common Criteria protection profile requirements. Its free Standard online voting plan covers up to 50 voters with CORE 3 Base, but excludes features and service. Listed paid plans have a €50 base price, with voter-count pricing applying. POLYAS is headquartered in Kassel, Germany, and was created as a corporate spin-off in 2012.
