Frequently asked questions
Still stuck? Reach out on the Contact page.
Do I need to create an account to vote?▾
No. Voting never requires an account, login or app download. Just open the event page, choose a nominee, pick how many votes to buy, and pay.
Can I vote more than once for the same nominee?▾
Yes — uVote is a pay-per-vote fundraiser, not a one-person-one-vote election. You can support your favorite nominee as many times as you'd like.
How do I pay?▾
Checkout is handled by Paystack and supports card payments, MTN Mobile Money and Telecel Cash.
Why can't I see the live vote count or a leaderboard?▾
Vote counts are kept completely private from voters by design — not a leaderboard, not even a single nominee's own tally. This keeps the focus on genuinely supporting a nominee rather than a numbers race — only the event organizer can see running totals on their dashboard.
What happens if my payment fails?▾
If a payment doesn't go through, no vote is recorded and you aren't charged. Votes are only ever counted once Paystack confirms the payment succeeded.
How do I register my organization to run an event?▾
Click "Register Your Organization" from the homepage, create an organizer account, and you can set up your first event right away — it stays in draft until you're ready to go live.
Where does the money go?▾
Funds collected go to the organization running the event, minus a small platform commission. Organizers can track revenue and request payouts from their dashboard.
Is this a real election?▾
No. uVote is built for awards nights, pageants, talent shows and similar fundraising events — for schools, churches, clubs and community groups — not political or formal elections.
