📋 Guidelines

Simple rules, kept fair for everyone

A short read for voters and organizers on how uVote is meant to be used.

🗳️For voters
  • You never need to create an account to vote — just open the event page and pay.
  • Each vote costs the price set by the event organizer, shown before you check out.
  • You can vote for the same nominee as many times as you like — it's a fundraiser, not a one-person-one-vote election.
  • Payments are processed securely via Paystack (card, MTN Mobile Money, Telecel Cash).
  • Votes are only counted once your payment is confirmed — if a payment fails, the vote isn't recorded and you won't be charged.
🏛️For organizers
  • Only register an event that your organization — school, church, club or community group — is officially running.
  • Set a fair price per vote — this is what your supporters will be charged per vote.
  • Keep nominee photos and names accurate and appropriate; misleading entries may be removed.
  • Vote counts stay private by design — only your organizer dashboard shows live totals, and voters never see a running count, not even the nominee's own.
  • A platform commission is deducted from revenue before payout; your dashboard always shows the exact breakdown.
⚖️Fair use & conduct
  • No impersonation — don't create a nominee profile for someone without their knowledge.
  • No manipulating payments (e.g. chargebacks after votes are counted) — accounts found doing this may be suspended.
  • Events must be genuine organization activities — uVote is not a platform for political or national elections.
  • Report any suspicious activity or technical issue via the Contact page.
