The voter
Where every number begins. Nothing OpenVote does should come between this mark and the count.
Election-day tally · Malaysia
Every vote, counted openly.
One live count for polling agents, counting agents and campaign HQ. From the first check-in at the station to the printed result sheet.

The polls close. Three people read out three different numbers, and the rumours start before the count does.

Illustrative example
One count.
One number.
Everyone sees it.
Five hands.
One paper.
02 · Many hands
Five people touch every count.
OpenVote is built around each of them, not just the person at the laptop.
02
Polling agent
Types serial numbers at the station. A dropped signal never loses the batch.
03
Counting agent
Enters each candidate's total per stream. If someone saved first, nothing is overwritten.
04
Campaign HQ
Watches turnout and the count land on one live board, without phoning anyone.
05
Returning officer
Signs the sheet that matches the screen HQ is watching.
03 · How a count runs
ATurnout
Agents type serial numbers. Nothing else.
At the station, agents enter electoral-roll serials from their phone. Each check-in lands in the stream's recent list with the time and who entered it, and HQ sees turnout move.
Type one, or paste a whole listSeparate serials with a comma, Space or Enter. Zero-padding and repeated numbers are handled for you.
Undo a slipEvery recent check-in has an Undo next to it, so a mistyped serial is one tap to fix.
BCounting
Two agents, one stream. Nobody gets overwritten.
After polls close, counting agents enter each candidate's total per stream. If someone else saved first, the portal shows both versions side by side and asks which to keep.
Auto-verify or manual reviewEach election chooses. Admins can spot-check or approve from a queue.
CStream result sheet
The sheet everyone signs matches the screen HQ watches.
When a stream is verified, its result sheet prints straight from the browser. Plain HTML, no PDF server, nothing extra to install.
One number from station to HQ. The sheet and the dashboard read the same verified count.
Print one stream or all of them. Single sheets, a batch, or a summary sheet.
04 · Live board
Campaign HQ watches the count land.
Streams report in and the dashboard refreshes every few seconds. A projector view keeps the last numbers on screen even if the session ends.

ConstituencyB
ConstituencyC
Permissions per electionRoles, overrides and coverage are set for each election. A closed election becomes read-only.
Voter details maskedIC numbers are masked by default. Full records are for people you grant, and every reveal is logged.
Append-only audit logEvery change is recorded. In production the database user cannot edit or delete history.
Phone and passwordNo sign-up, no email. An admin issues each account and a new temporary password when needed.
OpenVote counts. It does not campaign, rank or predict.
