About Us

Building Trust Through Technology

1to1vote is a non-profit blockchain election platform established to transform the way elections are conducted in Somalia. Our mission is simple: to make every election free, fair, transparent, secure, and trusted by everyone.

For decades, elections at every level — from universities and professional associations to government institutions — have faced challenges such as disputes, lack of transparency, allegations of manipulation, duplicate voting, and limited public trust. We believe technology can help solve these challenges.

1to1vote was created to provide a modern election infrastructure that guarantees one person, one vote, while ensuring that every vote is permanently recorded on the blockchain and cannot be altered after it is cast.

Our Vision

To become Somalia's most trusted digital election platform, enabling secure and transparent elections for every institution — from student unions and universities to professional organizations, state governments, and eventually national elections.

Our Mission

Our mission is to strengthen democracy by providing a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof digital voting platform that every Somali institution can trust.

We are committed to making elections:

  • Transparent
  • Secure
  • Accessible
  • Verifiable

  • Technology-driven
