What is tapvote?

tapvote is an independent voting service that authenticates you as a local resident enabling you to make powerful votes for the specific things and people you want to lead your community, city or country.

But I already have a ballot box...?

Ballot box votes are great, but because of their cost to organise they have some limitations:

1. You rarely get to vote
2. You don't get to decide the options on the ballot paper

So Tapvote enables you to vote for anything and anyone you want. It also lets you express more detail about why you've voted, to encourage others to support your vote.

You can use it alongside other systems, or a community can choose to use it as a primary way to make certain decisions.

Is it secret?

How you vote on Tapvote is not made public - however you can also post reasons about why you voted to encourage others to support your vote - your name and region will be published with these reasons.

How do I start?

Just vote for something here, or vote for a person here.

You can also raise questions to candidates with our Q&A service just raise a question here.
