🧩 Motivation / Problem Statement

Many elections — from DAOs to student governments — still depend on insecure, centralized platforms or basic Google Forms to collect votes.

This leads to:

• Low voter trust due to unverifiable results

• No transparency or tamper-proof audit trails

• Poor scalability for decentralized teams, schools, and communities

VoteSecure was created to solve this.

---

VoteSecure is a fully on-chain, decentralized voting platform built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).

It provides:

• Admin-created elections with full access control
• Secure CSV-based voter database upload
• Automatic generation of anonymous voter IDs
• Email delivery of credentials
• Real-time voting and transparent result viewing
• No gas fees or centralized backend

It’s fast, accessible, and tamper-proof — everything a secure election platform should be.
