The problem

A popularity vote only works if everyone can actually cast one.

The organisers wanted a fair, transparent public vote that anyone in the country could take part in from a phone. Paper ballots and bank queues would have shut out most of the audience and left the result open to dispute.

What Octet built

One place to vote, pay and watch the count move.

A voting and payments platform that accepted real transactions in real time, counted every vote the same way, and published a live standing the public could follow.

What changed

The vote ran in the open, for the whole country to see.

The vote ran in the open at national scale. Supporters took part from anywhere, payments settled instantly, and the organisers could stand behind the result.

  • Anyone with a phone and a little airtime could vote, with no app to install
  • Payments settled instantly, so the live standing stayed trustworthy
  • The platform held up under national attention
