AI helps the organizer. Voters get a clear ballot.
Solon helps boards understand rules, documents, pricing, and existing elections. The SMS concierge can create a simple vote for an organizer. Voters verify and cast through the web ballot.
What the AI does—and where it stops
These descriptions follow the implemented tool boundaries. Voice voting and voter ballot-casting by SMS are not current features.

Evidence, Not Certification
Clear Product Boundaryvote.direct records platform events and produces result, certificate, CSV, and audit exports. Those records support human review; neither the AI nor the software certifies that every outside legal step was completed.
- Timestamped platform events
- SHA-256 hash-linked audit trail
- PDF and CSV exports
- No automatic legal-compliance claim
How AI assistance works
Ask
Sign in and ask Solon about an election, paste relevant governing-document text, or use the SMS concierge to set up a simple vote.
Check
Solon retrieves live pricing, stored state rules, and your existing election details. Document quotations are checked against the text you provided.
Decide
You make the procedural decisions and publish. Voters then verify by email or SMS and cast their ballots in the browser.
Need help sorting out an election?
Ask Solon what to check, then use the ordinary election workflow when you are ready to create or publish.
