Election night, live

The count, as it happens.

Your volunteers tally the boxes on their phones. VoteCount weights those tallies and projects the result, updating as the count runs. You know where you stand hours before the returning officer does.

What you get

Election night is chaos. VoteCount gives your team one shared, live picture of it.

Volunteers join with a code and tap in tallies as the boxes are sorted. The projection builds in front of you, box by box, weighted by turnout. And here is the part the official results never give you: it all breaks down to the box and the polling district.

01

Projects live.

A turnout-weighted read on the result, moving as the votes come in.

02

Breaks it down.

Box by box. Polling district by polling district. The granular picture the declaration never shows.

03

Stays simple.

Volunteers need a phone and a 6-digit code. Nothing to install. Nothing to learn.

The data

The official result tells you who won. VoteCount tells you where.

Once the boxes are mixed and counted, the official figures come out as one number for the whole contest. How each box voted, how each polling district leaned, that detail is gone.

VoteCount captures it while the tallying happens. So you walk away with a box-by-box, district-by-district breakdown of your patch: where you're strong, where you bled votes, where the swing actually landed. Export the lot. Use it to target next time.

You already know how much that's worth. Most campaigns never get it.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The short version. The detail is a message away.

Do my volunteers need to download anything?

No. They join from their phone's browser with a 6-digit code and start tallying. That's it.

How does the projection work?

Each box's tallies are weighted by that box's turnout, then combined into an estimate of the whole contest, sharpening as more boxes come in.

What data do I actually get?

A box-by-box and polling-district-level breakdown of the vote, the detail the official results don't publish. Yours to export and keep.

Which elections does it cover?

UK elections, general and local, including multi-seat wards with per-candidate tracking.

What does it cost?

Price on request. Tell us about your campaign or your association and we'll sort you an account.

How do you handle our data?

We handle personal data under UK GDPR. Volunteers join anonymously with a code, so they never create an account. The full detail, including what we store and how we protect it, is in our Privacy Policy.

Read the Privacy Policy
Can a whole association use it?

Yes, that's what organisation accounts are for. Buy seats, add your managers, oversee every count from one place.

When should I set my count up?

Before the night, so your codes are ready to hand out. Setup takes minutes.

Next count coming up?

Set up in minutes. Bring your team in with a code. See it land before it's called.
