Blockchain-Powered Democratic Infrastructure

Voting You Can
Actually Trust.

ChainVote brings cryptographic certainty to every election — from HOA board decisions to national federal ballots. Every vote anonymous. Every result verifiable. Every fraud attempt mathematically impossible.

The Process

Simple to vote.
Impossible to cheat.

ChainVote is designed so a voter's identity and ballot choice are mathematically separated — even we can't link them.

STEP 01

badge

Identity Verified

Voters authenticate via multi-factor verification. A cryptographic commitment is generated in hardware — your identity is confirmed but never written to the chain.

STEP 02

account_tree

Eligibility Proven

A Zero-Knowledge proof mathematically proves you are a registered voter without revealing who you are or which registration record is yours.

STEP 03

enhanced_encryption

Ballot Encrypted

Your vote is encrypted with your personal public key. An anonymous relay service submits it — the chain never sees your wallet address.

STEP 04

link

Permanently Recorded

The encrypted ballot is committed to the blockchain with a unique nullifier preventing double-voting. Immutable, auditable, available forever.

STEP 05

receipt_long

Receipt Verified

You receive a cryptographic receipt. Verify your ballot is in the final tally without revealing how you voted. Full transparency — zero individual exposure.

Who It's For

Built for today.
Scaled for tomorrow.

ChainVote deploys right now for organizations of any size — with the same architecture designed to meet federal election standards.

house

HOA & Community Boards

Replace paper ballots and email-based voting for board elections, bylaw amendments, and community decisions. Every homeowner gets a verified vote — and the tally is mathematically proven correct.

Board Elections Budget Approvals Rule Changes Special Assessments

corporate_fare

Corporate & Non-Profit Boards

Conduct shareholder votes, director elections, and major resolutions with auditable certainty. Meet fiduciary obligations with cryptographic proof of result integrity.

Shareholder Votes Director Elections Bylaw Amendments

gavel

Union & Labor Elections

LMRDA-compliant union officer elections and contract ratification votes. Federal regulations require secrecy, accessibility, and auditability — ChainVote delivers all three by design.

Officer Elections Contract Ratification LMRDA Compliant

school

Universities & Associations

Student body elections, faculty senate votes, and professional association ballots — all with the same verifiability and anonymity guarantees as any federal election.

Student Elections Faculty Governance Member Ballots

account_balance

Engineered to Federal Standards

ChainVote's architecture targets FIPS 140-3 cryptographic standards, DISA STIG HIGH configuration baselines, and 7-year ballot retention under 52 U.S.C. § 20701. The same platform you deploy for your HOA today is built with the compliance posture required for national elections. Every architectural decision is documented, auditable, and designed with federal certification in mind. The path from private elections to public-sector deployment is not an afterthought — it's the blueprint.

Security Architecture

Fraud isn't just deterred.
It's mathematically eliminated.

ChainVote doesn't rely on procedural controls to prevent fraud. The math makes it impossible.

key

Hardware Security Module Keys

Every voter's cryptographic key is generated inside AWS CloudHSM (FIPS 140-3 Level 3). Keys are non-extractable — they physically cannot leave the device.

data_object

Zero-Knowledge Eligibility Proof

A ZK proof mathematically proves the voter is registered without revealing which registration record is theirs. Eligibility verified without identity revealed.

block

Double-Vote Prevention

Each vote produces a unique nullifier — a cryptographic fingerprint tied to voter and election but not to identity. Contract rejects any duplicate. No override exists.

router

Anonymous Relay Architecture

Encrypted ballots are submitted by a relay service — not the voter's wallet. Wallet address and ballot choice are mathematically separated in every transaction.

lock

End-to-End Encryption

Ballot contents are ECIES-encrypted with the voter's public key. Only the voter can decrypt. Administrators see anonymized commitments — never plaintext.

history_edu

Immutable Audit Trail

Every action written to Hyperledger Besu blockchain with 4-validator QBFT consensus. WORM-locked backups prevent alteration. 7-year retention by default.

psychology

Isolated AI Infrastructure

AI ballot-explainer runs in a completely separate AWS account. SCPs block all cross-account network paths. No access to voter data — by architecture, not policy.

shield

Network-Level Enforcement

AWS Network Firewall blocks all outbound internet from blockchain validators. Kubernetes NetworkPolicies enforce least-privilege pod communication. Defense in depth at every layer.

Under the Hood

Enterprise infrastructure.
Open standards.

No proprietary black boxes. ChainVote is built on auditable open-source components and established cryptographic standards.

Hyperledger Besu QBFT

Enterprise Ethereum-compatible private network with Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus. 4 validators, no single point of failure.

Consensus

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (Groth16)

circom 2.x circuits compiled to Groth16 verifiers. Poseidon hash for Merkle trees. On-chain EVM verification in a single transaction.

Crypto

AWS CloudHSM (FIPS 140-3 Level 3)

secp256k1 voter keys generated in validated hardware. Non-extractable by design. Keys never exist in software memory.

HSM

AWS GovCloud-Ready Architecture

EKS on Graviton, Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless, FIPS 140-3 endpoints, two-account isolation, DISA STIG HIGH baselines.

Cloud

ACM Private CA + cert-manager

Internal service TLS via subordinate CA (ECDSA P-256). 90-day auto-rotated service certificates.

PKI

Open Infrastructure as Code

100% OpenTofu/Terragrunt IaC — every resource, policy, configuration in version control and auditable. No hidden state.
