The problem today
Digital elections must simultaneously protect identity, uniqueness, availability, verifiability, accessibility and ballot secrecy.
Verifies voter eligibility and session continuity while keeping identity and the secret ballot technically and organisationally separate.
A strong eID alone does not resolve endpoint, session, process or ballot-secrecy requirements.
Solution
A simple approach with system-wide value.
Verifies voter eligibility and session continuity while keeping identity and the secret ballot technically and organisationally separate.
PAL ID or a national eID verifies eligibility.
HAI Session protects the journey up to ballot submission.
The secret ballot is separated from identity cryptographically and organisationally.
Deployment begins only after authorisation, independent assessment and a national partnership.
Benefits
One system. Three clear winners.
eVotingPAL is a distinct, later-stage government workstream for secure authentication, session binding and auditable processes.
For people
More accessible digital participation with traceable eligibility checks and preserved ballot secrecy.
For companies & institutions
Election authorities gain an additional session and endpoint integrity layer.
For professionals
Election administrators, auditors and technology partners receive clearly separated identity, session and ballot processes.

Measurable from day one
The right metrics make progress and impact visible.
More accessible digital participation with traceable eligibility checks and preserved ballot secrecy.
Potential
Transparent model. Counted once.
Included in R07. No separate additive TAM until the country, election type, certification and contract scope are defined.
Government and eVoting contracts
3.86 bn USD193 countries × USD 20m per year
Who pays: Governments and election authorities; no direct citizen fee.
Model note: Market potential is not a revenue forecast. It is a modelled upper bound based on the stated assumptions; actual revenue depends on product maturity, contracts, regulation and market penetration.

In brief
The first questions a new partner will ask.
Election authorities gain an additional session and endpoint integrity layer.
What makes this solution different?
Verifies voter eligibility and session continuity while keeping identity and the secret ballot technically and organisationally separate. PAL ID or a national eID verifies eligibility.
Who benefits most?
More accessible digital participation with traceable eligibility checks and preserved ballot secrecy. Election authorities gain an additional session and endpoint integrity layer.
Who carries the cost?
Governments and election authorities; no direct citizen fee.
How should the potential be read?
Included in R07. No separate additive TAM until the country, election type, certification and contract scope are defined. Market potential is not a revenue forecast. It is a modelled upper bound based on the stated assumptions; actual revenue depends on product maturity, contracts, regulation and market penetration.
Let us define the right pilot.
Capital, technology, hardware partnerships and market access can be built in parallel around a clearly bounded first application.
