What OpaVote is

OpaVote runs online elections and public polls, and can count ranked ballots collected elsewhere. It supports checkbox, ranked-choice, STV, Condorcet, Borda, approval, and other voting methods, including weighted voting based on factors such as shares or property surface. Elections use secret, single-use voter links to restrict voting to authorized voters and allow one vote per link. Managers can monitor email and ballot opens, submissions, delivery problems, and send reminders to people who have not voted. Results include charts, text, CSV, and JSON, with downloadable ballots and a recount link. Its API lets customers manage elections from their own servers and returns JSON. Voting interfaces and notices support English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Slovenian, and Finnish; voters can use phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. OpaVote supports up to one million voters per election. The free plan allows three simultaneous elections, each with up to 25 voters and 10 candidates. Paid elections cost $10, paid once for every 125 voters or 20 candidates. Polls use low-security cookie controls to discourage repeat voting, so elections are recommended when higher security is needed.

Good

  • Supports ranked-choice, STV, Condorcet, Borda, and approval voting.
  • Single-use links restrict election ballots to one vote.
  • Managers can monitor participation and send reminders.
  • Results include CSV and JSON exports.

Watch out

  • Free elections are limited to 25 voters and 10 candidates each.
  • Polls use low-security cookie controls.
  • Paid support costs $50 for up to 30 minutes.
  • Paid election pricing is per election.

Who it suits

OpaVote suits associations, companies, schools, universities, nonprofits, and political parties running elections or polls. It may also suit organizations that need ranked-ballot counting or weighted voting.

Verdict

OpaVote combines a range of voting methods with participation monitoring, exports, and an API. Use an election rather than a poll when stronger security is needed, and account for the per-election cost above the free limits.
