Evaluate VoteSecured with a structured, risk-free pilot program tailored to your jurisdiction's size and requirements, complete with dedicated support, training, and a full mock election exercise.
A 30-day evaluation designed for cities and towns with populations under 50,000. Ideal for local governments seeking to modernize election infrastructure with minimal risk and commitment.
A 60-day comprehensive pilot for county-level deployments supporting up to 500,000 registered voters. Includes multi-precinct configuration, full integration testing, and extended evaluation time.
A 90-day enterprise pilot for statewide evaluation with unlimited voter capacity. Designed for Secretary of State offices and state election boards evaluating large-scale modernization.
Complete, unrestricted access to the VoteSecured platform including all security features, the administration dashboard, blockchain audit trail, voter verification portal, and analytics engine.
A named implementation specialist and project manager assigned to your pilot, available during business hours with 24/7 emergency support during mock election exercises.
Comprehensive training program including live instructor-led sessions, self-paced video tutorials, hands-on sandbox exercises, and official VoteSecured operator certification for your staff.
Realistic end-to-end election simulations using your actual ballot configurations, precinct maps, and voter data (or synthetic data) to validate every workflow before any live deployment.
Independent third-party penetration testing of your pilot deployment, vulnerability assessment report, and security architecture review tailored to your jurisdiction's threat profile.
Detailed post-pilot analysis including performance benchmarks, user satisfaction surveys, security audit results, cost-benefit analysis, and deployment roadmap recommendations.
During the first phase, our team works alongside your election officials to configure the platform for your jurisdiction's specific requirements and integrate with existing systems.
Comprehensive training for all election staff followed by structured testing scenarios that validate each component of the platform under realistic operating conditions.
Full-scale mock election exercise simulating real election day operations, followed by comprehensive evaluation and reporting to inform your deployment decision.
Municipal pilots are offered at no cost for qualifying jurisdictions. County-wide and state pilots may involve shared infrastructure costs depending on the scale and integration requirements. In all cases, VoteSecured absorbs the majority of pilot costs including platform licensing, support staff, and training. There is never an obligation to proceed with a full deployment after the pilot concludes. Contact us for a detailed cost proposal tailored to your jurisdiction.
All data generated during the pilot, including mock election records and configuration data, is retained for 30 days after the pilot concludes to allow for final reporting and analysis. After that period, all data is securely destroyed using cryptographic erasure methods that meet NIST 800-88 standards. If you proceed to a full deployment, your pilot configuration and settings can be seamlessly migrated. You receive a certificate of data destruction for your records.
Pilot programs are designed as evaluation and validation exercises using mock elections with simulated or anonymized data. However, for jurisdictions that complete a successful pilot and obtain the necessary state certifications, VoteSecured can support a transition to a live election deployment. Several of our current production jurisdictions began with pilot programs that were extended into certified live deployments. Our team will work with you to understand your state's certification requirements and timeline.
Pilot programs are available to any government election authority, including city clerks, county election boards, and Secretary of State offices. To begin the process, contact our government relations team to schedule an initial consultation. We will assess your jurisdiction's requirements, current infrastructure, and goals to recommend the appropriate pilot tier. Typical lead time from initial contact to pilot kickoff is 2-4 weeks, depending on integration complexity.
