FAIR Elections

Independent election incident reporting

See something wrong at your polling unit? Report it safely, with evidence that holds up.

FAIR Elections lets citizens and accredited observers report incidents such as violence, vote buying or missing materials, with photos, video or audio. Trained verifiers check every report. Only verified incidents are published, and never anything that identifies the person who reported.

During the pilot, the Android app is shared by partner observer organisations.

Counts include only incidents confirmed by verifiers, shown at least 60 minutes after verification. Duplicate reports of the same event are counted once.

How it works

  1. 1

    Report

    Choose what happened and take a photo, video or audio clip in the app. It works without internet and sends when you have signal. You do not need to give your name.

  2. 2

    Verify

    Trained verifiers review each report. The phone fingerprints every file and signs the report, so any change after capture would be detected. High confidence needs two verifiers to agree.

  3. 3

    Publish

    Verified incidents appear on the public map and in open data, at the polling unit or ward, never at the reporter's position. Lawyers can request signed evidence packs for tribunals.

Your safety comes first

  • If you are in danger, move to safety first and call 112. Evidence can wait.
  • Anonymous by default: no name or phone number is stored, and what waits on your phone is encrypted.
  • Quick exit on every screen hides the app behind a plain notes page.
  • Files are deleted from your phone once they have been received.
