Changelog

Type two letters and the support center gives you a handful of results instead of half the site.

It understands word endings, so searching "vote" also finds voting and voters, and it puts pages from the section you are already reading at the top.

The email you get after creating an event now opens with a button to that event's Getting started checklist.

Under it sits a short list of features worth trying, with a note about which ones your plan and event type cover.

Everything in a voting event now sits in one sidebar you can take in at a glance.

Switch between events from the top without going back to a list, and watch for the dot that appears when registrations are waiting on your review. Getting started and Demos have pages of their own, and templates open from the sidebar wherever you are.

• Follow a ranked count round by round. Results open with a grid covering every round, then a table showing where each transferred vote went, exhausted ballots included. The PDF matches what you see.
• Get more out of the payments table. Copy a row, export exactly the rows your filters show, and see your share on every line.
• Price quadratic credits on their own tab, with models to choose from and per-position prices edited in place.
• Thank sponsors on an election, not just a poll.
• See what a higher plan unlocks. Anything your plan does not cover now shows you the way in rather than disappearing.
• Check that we are up from inside the app, linked to status.pepvote.com.

Upgrading a plan or raising your voter limit now opens a card form with the product and the amount in front of you before you pay. Nigerian cards go through Paystack.

Payout onboarding, pay to vote, pay to register, and quadratic credits are open to everyone now too.

Pick the kind of event you are running and a short guided form sets up the positions and settings that usually go with it. No blank page.

Results are yours to shape too. Choose how many candidates to show and both the page and the PDF respect it. PDFs are tighter to read, combined and single results look the same, and a new figure shows how much of the ballot your members actually completed. Merging results no longer insists every event in the combination is the same type.

A result page full of long tables is hard to announce from. Each position now opens with its leading three candidates, a chart, and coloured bars, and the full table is one tap away.

The headline numbers sit above the position list, you can export a branded PDF for your records, and a ranked contest can be read round by round. Payment figures stay off the public page.

Your returning officer declares the result, not your software.

Results now show the counts and the shares and nothing more. No winner badge, no candidate marked as elected. Counting honestly is our job. Declaring the outcome under your own constitution is yours.

The country and region maps in Voting Insights now open straight away, even on a slow connection, and a newly supported country appears as soon as its boundaries are published.

• See every payment on an event, filtered by status and purpose and searchable by reference. Who voted stays hidden.
• Your cookie choice now decides everything. Analytics follow it, you get a setting on your account, and ballots are never recorded.
• Take your data with you. Export your whole account as a ZIP, or ask us to delete it.
• Close candidate and voter registration at different times, with clear messages on the public pages either way.
• Spot an unusual connection. A public vote carries a note when the browser and the country do not line up. It never stops anyone voting.

Settings that were scattered across the event now sit in one workspace, covering the ballot, voters, votes, your timeline, your plan, and pricing.

You can also change the email address on your account, with a confirmation step and a note to the old address.

A checklist on every voting event tracks what still needs doing before you can open voting, and ticks itself off as you go.

Each table has its own settings too, so candidates, voters, positions, groups, sponsors, votes, and result reporting are set up where you manage them. Candidates and voters registering in public no longer have to type an event code either. The link already knows which event they are joining.

Running the same election every year? Import it from the last one. Groups come across, you can change candidates, positions, and voters as they arrive, and you can email invites to the people you brought over.

Bad email addresses are flagged as you go and a failed email can be sent again rather than quietly lost. Clearing out a large list runs in the background, so it no longer times out on you.

Not every organisation has an email address for every member. Voters can now be identified by a matriculation number, a staff ID, or any code you already use, and a voting links page gathers everything you need to hand out.

Signing in is protected against bots, your event timeline is checked so you cannot save an end before a start, and result breakdowns show more of the picture.
