About VoteEdge

The company building African election intelligence.

Independent. African-focused. Sells time-bounded per-project access to political parties, candidates, and research firms across five live markets. Below: the commercial model, the African expansion roadmap, and the company posture.

Our mission

A non-partisan platform for authorised election research

VoteEdge is a non-partisan election operations and field-research platform for authorised organisations.

It helps teams coordinate field research, polling-unit observation, incident reporting, data quality checks, and weekly operational reporting across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and Rwanda.

What VoteEdge does not do
  • We do not endorse candidates or parties. The platform serves every authorised client identically. Our pricing, features, and analytics are not influenced by who is using them.
  • We do not publish official election results. Only INEC (Nigeria), EC (Ghana), IEBC (Kenya), IEC (South Africa), and NEC (Rwanda) publish official results. VoteEdge produces operational dashboards for the parties + observers who paid for them.
  • We do not provide voting instructions. We don’t tell voters how to vote, when to vote, where to vote, or whether to vote. We don’t run campaign ads, and we don’t buy social media reach.
Who VoteEdge serves

VoteEdge is available to authorised organisations on a paid commercial-access basis: political parties + their candidates, electoral observation missions, accredited research firms, and accredited press. Access is granted per project, time-bounded, and revocable. We do not offer anonymous accounts, free tiers, or self-signup.

If your use case falls outside this scope — for example, you’re an individual voter, a campaign vendor not authorised by the candidate, or a foreign actor without a local agreement — VoteEdge is not the right fit, and we’ll decline access.

Company posture

Independent, African-focused, decision-grade

Operating company
Independent. Operating commercially across Africa. Customer agreements sign under the operating entity.
Why we exist
African elections are increasingly data-intensive, but existing tooling splits between enterprise platforms priced beyond local research budgets and ad-hoc spreadsheets that fall apart under field load. VoteEdge sits in the gap: serious research operations at an African research budget, built natively for African electoral structures.
What we sell
A non-partisan research operations platform sold to authorised political parties, candidates, and research firms. The buyer runs the questionnaire, owns the data, and reads the analytics. We provide the software and the field-grade infrastructure underneath it. The instrument is kept neutral so the data is unbiased.
Three modules
Field Research is the foundation: neutral voter surveys, live analytics, and a weekly Decision Report. The Campaign Diagnostic module turns a completed research wave into a per-location action plan with lawful, evidence-cited recommendations — the survey instrument stays neutral; the campaign lens lives only in the analysis. The Election Day module transmits and documents polling-unit results. Each module is licensed separately and access is time-bounded per project.
Commercial model

How we sell, what you get, what you keep

Time-bounded per-project access

One project = one candidate or one party in one election cycle. You buy access for a defined window (typically 30 to 365 days). Pricing scales with country, election type, scope (state vs nationwide), and contract length.

Hard cutoff at expiry

When the access window ends, login stops. Data is retained for at least 1 year post-expiry by default (subject to country-specific statutory minima); you can re-engage at any point during the retention window without re-uploading anything, and you can request earlier deletion in writing.

No silent renewals

We email you 30, 15, and 7 days before expiry, then daily for the last week. No autopay surprises. Renewals are an explicit conversation.

Per-country payment options

Local payment rails in your country and currency where supported, direct invoicing where they aren't. Settled in your commercial agreement so there are no surprises at signing.

You own your data

Every export is yours to keep, in your formats. CSV, wide-format CSV, audit trail, signed certificate PDFs. We retain a copy for compliance + retention; you retain copies forever.

Cross-tenant isolation

Research firms running concurrent contracts for two candidates operate in separated workspaces for each. Per-project access, per-project role assignment, audit trails on every cross-boundary attempt.
