Cosa fa VotingWorks
VotingWorks is a non-partisan non-profit founded on the powerful idea that the operating system of our democracy should be publicly owned. Every citizen’s vote is sacred, and every citizen deserves evidence that our elections are free and fair. Forty states use voting machines that are over ten years old. Their technology is outdated, their source code proprietary and their security vulnerabilities - described in detail by the security community over many years - are left unpatched. It’s not surprising that 76% of voters are concerned that our elections are vulnerable to hacking. And if voters lose trust in elections, then the very foundation of our democracy is at risk. We’re using open-source software, off-the-shelf hardware, and modern product engineering to make elections dramatically safer, more accessible, and more affordable. Affordability may sound pedestrian, but it is key. The front line of America’s election security rests in the hands of the 50% of US counties that struggle to afford basic services, let alone upgrade aging voting equipment.

VotingWorks
Open-source voting machines for US elections
We build open-source voting machines using off-the-shelf hardware and modern product engineering to replace outdated, insecure proprietary systems used in US elections. Our product enables election officials to run safer, more accessible, and more affordable elections with transparent code that anyone can inspect.
We are based in California and remote. After YC, we would remain in California with a remote team spread across the US.
We picked California because of access to technical talent and proximity to the tech ecosystem. Operating remotely lets us work flexibly with election officials across many states without geographic constraints.
