FAQ

Common questions teams ask before choosing a voting platform.

The answers below explain how Vootely handles public competitions, secure elections, event-specific fees, and organizer payouts.

Vootely helps organizers run paid public competitions and secure internal elections from one platform. It covers setup, public voting pages, election access, notifications, and organizer-side reporting.

Paid competitions are public-facing campaigns where supporters buy votes for nominees. Secure elections are structured ballots for associations, departments, teams, and organizations that need controlled voter access and a more formal process.

Organizers publish an event, nominees receive public voting pages, and supporters pay per vote through Paystack. Votes are counted only after payment confirmation is received.

Yes. For paid competitions, supporters can vote offline without internet or smartphones. Every nominee receives a unique 5-character voting code. Voters simply dial our platform shortcode, enter the nominee code and quantity, and complete the payment via a direct mobile money prompt on their screen.

Organizers set positions and candidates, upload the voter roster, issue voter credentials, and then open the election. Voters use their credential link or token to access the ballot and cast their vote privately.

No. Paid-voting supporters can vote as guests, and election voters access the ballot through their credential flow. Organizer accounts are only needed for the teams managing events.

For paid competitions, votes count after successful payment confirmation. For secure elections, ballots count once the voter submits a valid ballot while the election is open.

Organizer earnings are tracked in the dashboard after confirmed vote payments. Withdrawal requests are reviewed before payout, and only the organizer net earnings are available to withdraw.

Paid competitions do not use one fixed public commission. Each event has its own agreed platform commission, and that commission must be set before the event can go live.

Secure elections use custom election pricing based on the election setup and scope. It is flexible, not a flat one-size-fits-all public fee.

Yes. If you are planning a competition or an election, you can contact Vootely for setup guidance, launch planning, and the right structure for your voting use case.

Yes. Vootely lets organizers create ticketed events alongside paid competitions and secure elections. You can set up ticket types (e.g., General Admission, VIP), set pricing, manage sales, and check attendees in at the door — all from the same dashboard.

Vootely includes a dedicated scanner tool that works on any smartphone. Create scanner passes for each gate or entry point, and your staff can check attendees in by scanning or searching from their own phone. Check-in data updates in real time so you always know how many guests are inside.

Yes. Vootely supports both in one event. You can sell tickets for entry while also running a paid competition with voting — all managed from a single dashboard with unified reporting.
