The Skypunch Voting Solution may be used to support public sector voting processes, including absentee voting programs such as those governed by UOCAVA (Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) in the United States. In other jurisdictions, broader deployment may be permitted subject to applicable election laws and regulatory approval.
Key capabilities for municipal elections include:
Ballot verification
The platform allows voters to return to the system after voting to verify that their submitted ballot remains recorded and unaltered, providing an additional layer of transparency and auditability not available in traditional voting methods.
Ranked Choice Voting
The platform supports ranked choice voting (RCV), allowing administrators to configure ranked ballots alongside plurality contests.
Recognizing that RCV can present additional tabulation and voter education considerations, the system automates the tabulation process and provides transparent, reviewable round-by-round reporting. Ballot interfaces are designed to clearly guide voters through ranking selections, as demonstrated on this site's sample ballot.
Readily accessible ballots
Because ballots are submitted digitally, the system eliminates risks associated with physical ballot handling, including postal delays and drop-box chain-of-custody concerns.See Advantages of Voting Online for additional information on the benefits of digital voting in public-sector applications.
