Secure, transparent, and fast digital elections for secondary schools across Uganda.
School Vote Uganda is a web-based voting platform built specifically for Ugandan secondary schools. It replaces slow, error-prone paper ballots with a secure digital system that any student can use from their phone.
Each school gets its own dedicated voting space. Students vote using a unique ID issued by their school. Results update live the moment polls close — no manual counting, no disputes, no lost ballots.
