POLYAS review
A flexible election platform with free voting and paid verification options.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
POLYAS is a web-based online voting platform for organizations running elections, votes, nominations, and live voting. It supports associations, companies, universities, institutions, and other organizations that need digital election administration. Core capabilities include ballot creation and configuration, electoral-roll management, voter import, voter ID and password authentication, election scheduling, real-time turnout monitoring, automatic counting, and result downloads. Anonymous or secret ballots are available, alongside optional two-factor authentication and verification features.
Pricing is project-based rather than subscription-based. The Standard plan is free for up to 50 voters and includes the CORE 3 base voting system. The Verifiable plan starts at €50 per election as a one-time base price and adds universally and individually verifiable voting through the CORE 3 Verifiable voting system. Certified also starts at €50 per election as a one-time base price, with universal verifiability possible and the CORE 2.5 certified voting system. Final pricing depends on voter count, features, and services, while larger or more complex projects can use election-management support.
Verification and election oversight are central strengths. POLYAS provides audit logging through bulletin boards, real-time turnout monitoring, automatic vote counting, and PDF, Excel, and JSON exports for results or logs. Organizations can embed the platform with an iFrame or connect SecureLink intranet authentication. The product is a strong fit for teams that value configurable voter management, verifiable results, and documented election records. Organizations seeking a broader integration ecosystem, a native desktop or mobile platform, or a subscription structure should compare alternatives before choosing it.
