Online Petitions That Actually Count
Collect roster-controlled petition responses with configurable verification, threshold tracking, and exportable records. Confirm the governing law, signature form, filing rules, and signer eligibility outside the platform.
One workflow for several petition types
From HOA recalls to union authorization cards
Built for petitions that matter
Product controls and records that support—not replace—the required legal process
Signature Verification
Email or phone verification demonstrates control of a roster credential. Assisted government-ID checks can add identity evidence when arranged; the organizer still determines eligibility.
Deadline Tracking
Set signature collection windows with automated reminders. Track progress toward your threshold in real time.
Procedure Support
Configure a threshold, deadline, roster, and exportable record. State law, governing documents, filing rules, and the petition type still control legal validity.
Tamper-Evident Audit Trail
Platform events are timestamped and hash-linked so later record changes can be detected. Export the results and audit package for human review.
Real-Time Progress
Live dashboard showing signatures collected vs. threshold required. Know exactly where you stand at every moment.
Easy Distribution
Share petition links via email, SMS, or social media. Signers complete the process on any device in under 60 seconds.
The problem with unverified petitions
Gaps to assess in an open or paper process
- Duplicate responses may be hard to identify
- A public link does not establish member eligibility
- The signer may not control the claimed identity
- Timestamps and custody records may be incomplete
- The available evidence may not fit the governing rule
With Vote.Direct verification
- One accepted response per eligible roster credential
- Email, phone, or assisted government-ID verification
- Every signature timestamped and logged
- Exportable results and participation records
- Hash-linked, tamper-evident platform events
