The challenge
The party faced a membership vote on a question with significant political consequences. A decision of this weight needed high participation to be legitimate, genuine ballot secrecy to protect members, and a result that could not be credibly disputed afterwards.
Requirements
Voting had to be open to the whole membership wherever they were, anonymous yet auditable, and fast. Given the stakes and the public attention, the process had to run without incidents and produce verifiable proof of the outcome.
How Vocdoni helped
Members voted from any device with anonymous, coercion-resistant ballots. The system let voters change their vote during the voting window, kept the ballot secret while keeping the tally auditable, and published results that anyone could verify.
Results
Turnout reached 77.12% with 6,349 votes, and results were available within seconds of closing, with open auditing. The vote showed that secure, verifiable high-stakes voting can scale without incidents and settle a contested question beyond doubt.
