How ElectoSense secures voting

Election security combines platform-level controls, organization-level settings, and per-election configuration. Everything below maps to a real place in the app.

Organization security settings

Go to Settings → Security to review or enable:

  • Enable SSL Encryption — all traffic is served over HTTPS
  • Enforce Secure Server — restricts admin access to secure origins
  • Restrict Access by Continent / Restrict Access by Country — geo-restrict voter access
  • Require Two-Factor Authentication — adds a second factor for admin accounts (Pro)

Per-election voter verification

On the Settings tab of any election you can harden the voter flow with:

  • Require name entry — disables anonymous votes so each ballot is attributed
  • Require facial verification — voters perform a selfie check before submitting (Pro)
  • Require location confirmation — voters confirm their location at vote time (Pro)

Controlling who can vote

Use the Voters tab of an election to pick an access mode:

  • Anyone with the link (Public) — best for wide, lower-stakes votes
  • Only invited voters (Invite-only) — each voter gets a unique link tied to their record; repeat submissions are blocked

For higher-stakes elections, invite-only mode plus name entry and verification gives the strongest voter-identity guarantee.

Audit trail and transparency

On the Results tab of each election you can:

  • Open the inline Election Audit for invitation and voting activity, or View full audit for the complete event log
  • Download a Participation Report as CSV for your records

These artifacts are what you hand to a board, inspector, or legal reviewer if the result is ever questioned.

What administrators should do

  • Keep the voter directory clean and up to date
  • Limit admin access to people who actually need it
  • Review election Settings and voter list before switching status to Active
  • Enable two-factor auth on admin accounts where available
  • Retain the Participation Report and audit log after the election closes

What security does not guarantee

A secure platform does not replace your governance process. Depending on your jurisdiction you may still need formal notice, quorum tracking, proxy handling, observers, or inspectors. Treat ElectoSense as the digital execution layer on top of your existing election rules.
