What it does
OpaVote runs elections and polls with several counting methods, including ranked-choice voting. Administrators can invite voters by email or distribute unique codes themselves, then download results and ballots. Free elections allow 25 voters and ten candidates; larger elections use per-event charges, with separate limits on retained election data.
Enter email voters one address per line, then clear invalid or duplicate addresses with Clean Emails. Code voters receive separate codes that you distribute; this also accommodates people sharing an email address.
Check the ballot and email previews before Start Voting, which locks the setup. During voting, send individual reminders or disable someone who has not voted. Stop Voting closes the election and displays results; ballots can then be downloaded for independent counting.
| Access | Election capacity | Charge |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 3 simultaneous elections; 25 voters and 10 candidates each | No charge |
| Pay as you go | Unlimited elections | From USD 10 per election for 125 voters and 20 candidates |
| Custom | High-volume requirements | Request a quote |
Paid capacity grows in blocks: USD 20 per election covers up to 250 voters and 40 candidates, for example. Free data lasts up to ten weeks; paid election data stays for three months, then costs USD 40 per year to retain. All accounts include API access.
The Login page also creates new accounts. Use email and password or a Google, Facebook or Microsoft login.
