End runoff elections for good.
Votely settles any election in a single ranked ballot — no separate runoff. From a one-question vote to a multi-seat board, with optional voter categories so every member sees exactly the right ballot.
President-Elect
Instant runoffOne ranked ballot. No second election.
Voters rank candidates in order of preference. Votely runs the runoff instantly, inside the count — so a true majority winner emerges the same day.
Members rank their choices
Drag or tap to order candidates — as many or as few as they like. Each category only sees the contests they're eligible for.
Votely counts instantly
If no one has a majority, the last-place candidate is dropped and those ballots move to their next choice — round by round (IRV). Multi-seat races use single transferable vote.
A clear winner, same day
You get a transparent, round-by-round result and an exportable audit trail. No scheduling, mailing, or waiting on a second runoff.
Everything a real election needs
The polish of a consumer app with the rigor any serious election requires.
Category-based eligibility
The feature no one else has: define unlimited voter categories — chapters, classes, membership tiers, regions — and each voter automatically gets exactly the right ballot.
IRV & STV built in
Instant-runoff for single seats, single transferable vote with Droop quota for multi-seat races — a verified, tested engine.
Verified voters
One person, one vote — enforced with magic links, OTP, or SSO. No forwardable ballots, no double-voting.
Secret ballot
Voter identity is separated from the cast ballot and encrypted, so choices stay private.
Live, transparent results
Watch the count round by round, see turnout by category, and export a full, permanent record.
Tamper-evident audit trail
A timestamped log an independent observer can verify — results you can defend if challenged.
Voting that knows who can vote for what
Most tools treat your electorate as one undifferentiated list. Votely makes voter categories a first-class feature — define as many as you need, and each one automatically gets the right ballot. (Don't need categories? Run a simple single-electorate vote just as easily.)
Unlimited, fully configurable categories — chapters, classes, membership grades, regions, committees, even weighted shareholder classes.
Try it yourself — right here
Vote as an attending, resident, or student and watch the ballot change. Then open the organizer view to see the live, round-by-round count. Sample data from a TCEP-style election.
Strong, auditable, and honest about it
The credible standard for online elections — and we say plainly what we can and can't promise.
Authenticated voters
One person, one vote — enforced via magic link, OTP, or SSO.
Secret ballot
Identity is separated from the ballot and encrypted.
