Security and preventing voter fraud are top priorities at OneFeather. All voting methods (digital, mail-in, and in-person) report to a single, secure voter ledger that prevents duplicate voting. Our process mirrors traditional polling practices and voter list management—ensuring each eligible voter can cast their ballot only once.
For Example...
If a community member votes digitally on their mobile phone while waiting in line at a physical voting station, they become instantly ineligible to vote again by any method. Voting event staff would see this in the system and would not be able to issue a physical ballot to someone who has already voted.
Similarly, if a voter returns a mail-in ballot but also votes digitally or in-person, our system flags this when the mail-in ballots are processed. The system notes that the voter has already cast their ballot through another method, and the mail-in ballot is marked as void and not counted in the final results.
