What ElectionBuddy is known for
ElectionBuddy does more than siono in its area — here’s where it specializes:
- Secret-ballot voting with one-vote-per-voter via unique voter keys
- Auditable results held until the ballot closes
- Formal methods (preferential/STV, approval, scored, referendum) and proxy voting
When ElectionBuddy is the better fit
ElectionBuddy fits better for official, auditable secret-ballot elections with voter rolls — siono is anonymous, informal voting, not a certified election system.
If instead you want a free, no-signup way for a group to decide — one link, anonymous replies, live results — siono is the lighter option.
