Gathent is a secure e-voting and online polling platform that enables organizations, corporations, and communities to run end-to-end verifiable elections with secret ballot anonymity, AES-256 field encryption, and HMAC-SHA256 Merkle audit chains.

How does Gathent protect voter privacy and secret ballot anonymity?

Gathent physically decouples voter identity records (VoterParticipationRecord) from encrypted ballot selections (EncryptedBallot) at the database layer. No user foreign keys or identity markers exist on ballot choice tables, guaranteeing 100% secret ballot anonymity.

How can voters verify their vote on Gathent?

Upon voting, Gathent issues a 16-character voter receipt code (e.g. GATH-RC-XXXX-XXXX). Voters can enter this code on the public Merkle audit ledger to confirm that their vote block is cryptographically signed and included in the election tally.

What voter access controls are supported on Gathent?

Gathent supports Public elections (open to all users), Private elections (restricted to allowed email lists or corporate email domains), and Followers-Only elections (restricted to verified community followers).

Can developers integrate Gathent using SDKs or n8n?

Yes. Gathent provides an n8n Community Node (n8n-nodes-gathent), a TypeScript SDK (@bigburry/gathent-sdk), a Python client (gathent-sdk), and an embeddable JavaScript Web Widget.
