FAQ

Awkward questions, answered up front.

We would rather answer the hard ones here, in the open, than dodge them later. If something here is not enough, bring it to the call.

Frequently asked questions

Can a campaign rig this to fake results?

No. Election Edge is your own count, not the official tally, and it is easy to check against the official one. Inside the platform, no one person controls a number. The agent who uploads a results form cannot confirm it, and the person who confirms cannot export it. We write every change down with who did it, when, and from which device. If someone tries to alter a number, the record shows the attempt.

What if an agent loses their phone or it is taken?

Each agent has one phone number and one set of stations. From your dashboard you can cut off that agent in seconds. Anything still in flight from the device waits until someone reviews it. The record shows when access was cut and by whom, so you can prove when the device stopped being trusted.

Who owns the data we put in?

You do. We do not sell, mine, or republish your records. You can export everything whenever you want, in formats other tools can read. If you ever leave, your data leaves with you.

We are running several races at once. Does that work?

Yes. A presidential race, a parliamentary race and a local council race can all run in one place without leaking into each other. The same polling station can appear in more than one race. Each race sees only its own agents, results and totals.

What about places with poor or no internet?

The app works with no signal. Photos, figures and confirmations wait on the phone and upload when it reconnects. There is no SMS or USSD channel. The app is the one way in, and it does not need a connection to capture. Nothing here assumes a perfect network.

Do you supply polling data or past results?

No. The polls on your dashboard are the ones you upload, commissioned or collected by your campaign. The baseline is last cycle's results, station by station, which you upload from the records you hold. Election Edge never publishes or supplies official results, and your count is always shown as your own, separate from the official tally.

How is this different from other election-tech vendors?

Four things. Every record carries a trail no one can change without a trace. Exports are built for a court file. We publish what the platform cannot do. We take on a handful of campaigns each cycle, so each one gets real attention. The comparison pages in the footer show the detail, competitor by competitor.

What happens to our data if our campaign loses?

Nothing changes. Your access stays on through the petition window and beyond. Export it, archive it, or keep using the platform to study what happened. We do not delete a losing campaign's data, and we never hold an export back because of the result.
