How it works

From the first interview to the final certificate

One platform, three modules: field research before the vote, a campaign diagnostic that turns it into an action plan, and live results on the day. Below: the four phases of the cycle, the five-step data flow, and the QC discipline that keeps raw and approved-for-report data separate.

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

We do not endorse candidates or parties, do not publish official election results, and do not provide voting instructions. See the full mission on /about.

The election cycle

The four phases

  1. Phase 1 · MONTHS BEFORE

    Voter research

    • Field interviews in the canonical instrument
    • Vote intention with a margin of error on every number
    • Priority constituencies — where to defend, where to contest

    Field teams run the canonical questionnaire face-to-face. The instrument stays neutral so the data is unbiased; the analytics layer leans toward actionable intelligence for the candidate paying for access.

  2. Phase 2 · WEEKS BEFORE

    Sharpen strategy

    • Who is still persuadable
    • What issues are moving them
    • Which rallies to hold where

    The Decision Report's per-LGA / per-constituency action map names a verb for every place: hold / expand / contest / flip / defend. Field coordinators read it on the way to the morning meeting.

  3. Phase 3 · ELECTION DAY

    Live results & operations center

    • Polling-unit results transmission
    • Live coverage map
    • Incident triage from one screen

    Accredited agents transmit the count as it's announced. Supervisors triage incidents (safety, accessibility, equipment, ballot, logistics) from a live operations center. The result log is signed and tamper-evident as it lands.

  4. Phase 4 · AFTER THE VOTE

    Records in hand

    • Signed press-kit PDF
    • Tamper-evident result log
    • Full per-result audit trail

    An end-of-day certificate goes to press, party headquarters, and your records. Independently verifiable by anyone with the certificate ID — no dependency on us continuing to host the platform.

From answer to decision

How an answer becomes a decision

  1. Interviewer meets a voter

    Face to face, in their LGA / county / ward.

  2. Answers go into the app

    Offline-first; syncs the moment signal returns.

  3. Quality checks run

    Auto-flags, supervisor review, back-check sample.

  4. Your team sees the result

    Live dashboard, no spreadsheet in between.

  5. You decide what to do next

    Review priorities, allocate research resources for the next wave.

No interview reaches a report without passing QC. Raw and approved-for-report answers stay separate at every step.
Three modules

Buy them together or separately

Field Research

Neutral voter research, live analytics, and the weekly Decision Report.

When: from kickoff through the final rally.

Campaign Diagnostic

Turns a research wave into a per-location action plan: standing on awareness, favourability, trust and visibility, and lawful, evidence-cited recommendations. The instrument stays neutral.

When: after each wave, to plan the next move.

Election Day

Polling-unit results, operations center, incident triage, and a signed end-of-day certificate.

When: election day and the hours after.

Field Research is the foundation; the Campaign Diagnostic and Election Day modules are licensed separately.
