Our Story

Our Story

In 2018, Electis was founded by a group of passionate people coming together from the public and private sectors. From the beginning, the Electis community shared a joint commitment to better democracy through technology. By working closely with leading experts and academics in the field, Electis build a solution that satisfies all requirements of verifiable and secure voting and makes it more accessible and flexible - enabling more democracy from the bottom up.

Today, we provide public institutions, private companies, associations and NGOs with e-governance tools they can trust. Our solutions are designed to conduct confidential and verifiable votes and surveys and are constantly improved through our community’s feedback. Electis is a decentralized Web3 voting solution using cutting-edge encryption technology to ensure transparency and security for our customers.

Our Vision

We believe anonymity should be a right for all. We believe all electronic voting solutions should be open source at their core and verifiable. We believe the world will build collective trust via decentralized voting. We envision a future where Electis will be a beacon of trust for all looking to vote anywhere, anytime, without the need for a central authority.
