VotingWorks

Who We Are

VotingWorks is a nonpartisan nonprofit making elections more trustworthy with modern technology.

As the only open-source voting system used in United States elections, VotingWorks provides voters with flexible options to mark ballots by hand or touchscreen, and cast voter-verifiable paper ballots. Our commitment to transparency and public accountability sets us apart in the election technology landscape.

We believe that democracy is too important for secretive machinery and that public trust demands complete transparency. We are committed to open-source code and open documentation.

Our entire development process is transparent: you can follow every new feature as it is developed, every bug fix as it's applied, and view the tests we use to verify all of our code works as expected. We're the only voting system that provides such complete transparency.

Our Mission

Our mission is to strengthen democracy by making elections more trustworthy.

We use modern technology and work closely with election officials to make elections transparent, simple, and secure.

We believe that trust is earned only by being publicly accountable for everything we do. That's why we're the only non-profit voting system vendor in the United States, why all of our source code is publicly available for review the moment we write it, and why we actively work in the open with leading academics in the fields of voting security and usability.

Our Products

Voting System: VotingWorks is the only open-source voting system used in United States elections. Voters choose to mark ballots by hand or touchscreen, and cast voter-verifiable paper ballots. Our system combines modern technology with proven security measures to ensure accurate, accessible voting.

Election Audits: Arlo is a secure tool for conducting Risk-Limiting Audits (RLAs) used by 10 states. It was developed by VotingWorks with support from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This tool helps election officials verify results with statistical confidence while maintaining efficiency.

Working at VotingWorks

VotingWorks is a fully distributed organization. Team members work from wherever they choose in the United States and attend meetings over video or audio conference. Work when you prefer, as long as you can be available 4 hours per weekday during Pacific timezone business hours for team coordination. We use Slack extensively for communication, and we jump on video or audio calls when synchronous discussion is more effective.

Our remote-first culture emphasizes flexibility, autonomy, and work-life balance while maintaining the collaboration necessary to build critical election infrastructure.
