One system for the people who run elections.
Standardized intake. Elections built from templates. A mobile app for poll workers and officers. Training that runs itself. Cohesive — not modules bolted on a CRM.
Applications you control
Configure intake questions. Review applicants. Approve → added to your roster, ready to staff and train.
02 / ElectionsTemplates & auto-staff
Locations & precincts as the source of truth. Templates → instances → staffed in one click from last election.
03 / Mobile & commsiOS & Android, group chats, DMs
Workers see their assignments and trainings. Precinct group chats on election day. DMs without phone numbers.
04 / TrainingRequired, tracked, reminded
Requirements, events, online modules, push & email reminders, expiration tracking — handled.
A standardized application that's actually yours.
The form you wish you'd had three election cycles ago. Configure the questions you need, collect responses in one place, review applicants in a single queue — and when you approve, they're in your roster, ready for everything else.
Configurable questions
Build the intake your office actually needs. Different elections, different questions, same clean data on the other side.
A single review queue
All applicants, sortable and filterable. See exactly what each person submitted, in plain language, with returning-worker history attached.
Approve once, in for everything
An approved applicant becomes a worker on your roster — instantly ready to be staffed, trained, and messaged. No second tool. No re-keying.
Their application, forever
Years later, you can still see what they wrote. The record stays attached to the worker.
Don't start from scratch. Ever.
Set your locations and precincts up once. Build election templates that capture how your office actually runs an election. Spin up a new instance for the next one, and let PollWare auto-staff from last cycle's assignments. Tweak, approve, done.
Locations & precincts
A clean source of truth for every place a ballot is cast — owned by your team, edited in place, never out of date.
Election templates
Define what an election looks like — roles per precinct, the rules of staffing, the cadence — once. Reuse forever.
Election instances
Each real election is an instance of a template. That's what you staff against, what your workers see in the app, and what the day operates on.
Auto-staffing from past elections
Want to repeat last cycle's assignments? One click. Want to vary by zone, role, or experience? Filter, then click. Knock them out.
Election positions & officers
Promote workers into officer roles per election. Officers see and message only their precinct — the right access, automatically.
Where your workers already live.
Poll workers want one thing: an app on their phone that tells them where to be, when, and who to talk to. PollWare gives them that — and gives your officers a clean way to reach them without anyone trading personal phone numbers.
iOS & Android apps, included
Native apps for both platforms. Push notifications. Email fallback. Designed for poll workers, not enterprise admins.
Assignments at a glance
Active and upcoming. Where to be, when, in what role, with what training still required.
Precinct group chats, auto-created
Every staffed precinct gets a chat on election day, populated from the roster. No invitations, no missing-link members, no "wait, what's the link?"
DMs without phone numbers
Officers can reach any worker directly, and vice versa, without anyone exchanging a personal cell. Privacy is the default, not a setting.
Officer view of the precinct
An officer sees their workers, their training status, their check-ins — and can message any of them, in chat or by DM.
PollWare for poll workers and officers.
Live on the App Store and Google Play. The same product, no extra license: every PollWare county gets the app for every worker, included.
The reminders, finally, send themselves.
Build training requirements out of the events you actually run — in-person sessions, online modules, refreshers. Track who's current and who isn't. Let PollWare nudge the people who need nudging.
Built around your reality
A training requirement can have one event or twenty. By role, by election, by precinct.
Delivered through the mobile app
Workers complete required learning on their phone, at their pace. Completion shows up on your roster automatically.
Push, email, on time
Event reminders. Expiration reminders. The right person, the right channel, without you sending a thing.
Who's current, who isn't
One look tells you who can be staffed, who needs the next class, and who's lapsed. Filter and send to just them.
When the doors open, you watch the day, not the inbox.
Live, per precinct
Who's checked in, who's late, who's missing — and which precincts are fully staffed, by role.
Per precinct, throughout the day
Track ballot submissions by precinct as the day unfolds. Spot anomalies early; close the day with clean numbers.
Open, by default
Every precinct chat is live. Officers DM workers without trading numbers. Your office is one tab away.
Reach who you need to
To the whole precinct, to one officer, to one worker — instantly, in the app they're already in.
Assignments & trainings
Workers open the app and see where to be, what to do, and what they're still required to complete.
Scoped to their precinct
Officers see and message their workers — and only theirs. The right access, automatically, every election.
The basics, properly done.
Passwordless sign-in
Workers and admins sign in with a one-time link sent to their email — no passwords to remember, reset, or phish. Strong by design, painless for poll workers.
In transit and at rest
TLS in transit. Encrypted at rest. Sensitive fields handled with care.
Least privilege
Admin, officer, worker — each role sees only what it should. Officers can message only their precinct.
No phone numbers shared
Workers and officers communicate inside the app. Personal contact info stays personal.
US infrastructure
Hosted in the United States, on standard enterprise cloud infrastructure.
