Safevote Inc. is a U.S. company with proprietary voting technology[1][2] and global internet election experience. Its parent company is the Brazilian company Módulo. Safevote's voting technology has been used with the internet,[2] offline, and in combination, in the private sector. The technology has been used in a legally binding election in Brazil and a mock election in the United States.[3]

Safevote's technology [4] was first qualified by the California Secretary of State in 2000,[5] and by the Swedish Government's Ministry of Justice Statskontoret in 2001.

Reception

Safevote had contributed to the non-partisan voting newsletter "The Bell" which is defunct as of February 2001.[6]
