The work
01
Nigeria alone runs 176,846 polling units across 774 local governments. Traditional situation rooms sit in one building and watch one stream of data at a time.
02
Results sheets travel from a classroom table to a national tally. Every hand they pass through is a risk surface.
03
Across Africa, an estimated 500 million citizens lack the formal IDs that allow them to vote, register a complaint, or verify a result.
iElect was built because no single tool solves all three — and none of them can be solved separately.
What we've built
Make every vote visible, verifiable, and counted.
End-to-end election results management for commissions.
Configure elections, enrol polling units, collect results, and produce national tallies — across 176,846 polling units in a single system.
Virtual situation room. Replaces the physical command centre.
Virtual Election Situation Room — unify incident reporting, secure communications, Zoom multi-stakeholder meetings, and analytics.
Citizen-powered parallel count, photographed from the polling unit.
A citizen parallel count. Voters photograph result sheets; AI extracts the tally; community consensus verifies it against the official record.
Pan-African civic engagement for voters, candidates, and press.
A pan-African civic engagement platform — voter education, fact-checking, legislative accountability, and direct constituent engagement in 10+ languages.
Membership, governance, and compliance for political parties.
Membership registration, branch federation, renewals, payments, and regulatory compliance — everything a political party runs on.
How it works
Step 01
Offline-first mobile apps let agents and observers record results and incidents on low-end Android devices, even on 2G.
Step 02
VESR unifies incident reporting, secure comms, and analytics for INEC, EU-SDGN observers, and security agencies.
Step 03
Watch the Votes lets anyone photograph a result sheet and build a parallel count, with AI extraction and consensus.
