How is my vote protected from tampering?
Once you cast your vote, it is encrypted and securely stored in our electronic ballot box. The system ensures that no one—not even election/voting event officials—can alter or tamper with your ballot after it has been submitted.
How do you prevent someone from voting multiple times or voting as someone else?
Our system prevents duplicate voting by tracking all voting methods in real-time. If a person votes online, the system immediately updates, ensuring a voter cannot cast another ballot again or by any other method. We also use secure authentication methods, such as identity confirmation and single-use PINs for online voting.
Can my voting record be traced back to me personally?
No. Once a ballot is cast, it is completely anonymized, meaning it cannot be linked back to any individual voter.
What happens if there's a temporary service interruption during voting?
Our system is built to handle unexpected issues, but if a power or wifi outage happens, don’t worry—your vote is safe. We have backup systems and recovery plans in place to get everything back up and running quickly. Any votes already submitted are securely stored and won’t be lost. If there’s ever a disruption, event officials will be notified right away, and voters will be kept in the loop on what to do next.
What about voter fraud?
While OneFeather implements robust security measures to protect the integrity of every voting event, it's important for all participants to understand both the value of honest participation and the serious nature of voter fraud in Canada.
