Digital Voting

Empty assemblies or insufficient quorum?

In Spain, only 20-30% of owners attend in-person community meetings, according to data from property administrators' associations. The result? Important decisions stall, renovations are not approved, and frustration grows.

VillageHub radically changes this with its digital voting system, which stands out for its cryptographic security, ease of use, and full legal validity. Voting on important decisions now takes 2 minutes from your mobile.

Problems of Traditional Voting

1. Chronic Low Participation

Problem: Incompatible schedules, commutes, lack of time... attendance is minimal.

VillageHub Solution: Voting open 24-72 hours. Vote from home in 2 minutes. Automatic push/SMS/email reminders.

2. Lack of Legal Validity

Problem: Informal votes (WhatsApp, email) have no legal weight in disputes.

VillageHub Solution: Unique token + SHA-256 hash generates minutes with a digital seal. Complete traceability and valid before any court.

3. Transparency Conflicts

Problem: Who voted what? Was the count manipulated? Widespread distrust.

VillageHub Solution: Confidential or coefficient-weighted vote options. Real-time results with verifiable automatic quorum.

Cryptographic Security: The Foundation of the System

What makes VillageHub's system unique is its multi-layer security architecture:

Unique and Non-Transferable Token

Each voter receives a unique cryptographic token sent to their registered device. Cannot vote from another device or delegate without explicit authorization.

End-to-End Encryption

Votes travel encrypted with TLS 1.3. Not even the system can see the individual vote until the official closing.

Immutable SHA-256 Hash

Each vote generates a cryptographic hash that is recorded. Any subsequent manipulation attempt is automatically detected.

Certified Timestamp

Each vote has a timestamp with a time server certificate. Impossible to backdate or falsify.

Supported Voting Types

Simple Vote

Yes / No / Abstention. Ideal for binary decisions.

Multiple Vote

Selection of multiple options (choose 3 out of 10 proposals).

Weighted Vote

By participation coefficient (square meters, units).

Secret Vote

Total confidentiality. Not even the administrator can see individual votes.

Automatic Minutes with Legal Validity

When closing a vote, VillageHub automatically generates an official minutes that includes:

  • Question or proposal voted on (full text)
  • Opening/closing date and time
  • Voter census (total eligible to vote)
  • Actual participation (number and percentage)
  • Detailed results (yes/no/abstention votes or distribution)
  • Quorum reached (yes/no with percentage)
  • Certified SHA-256 hash
  • Administrator's digital signature

These minutes are valid before any administrative or judicial procedure. They comply with the Spanish Horizontal Property Law.

"Participation in votes went from 28% to 90% in just 3 months. Decisions that used to take weeks are now resolved in days."
