Every Action, Timestamped and Logged

Your election's audit trail is a chronological record of what happened from launch to close: when voting started, every ballot submitted, reminders and resends, observer access, and how the election closed. Organizers can't edit or delete an entry.

This isn't a summary or a snapshot. It's a live log, and the whole of it downloads as a CSV at any time.

Anonymous Ballots, Verifiable Participation

This is the balance organizations need. The audit trail records every ballot submitted, and the Voters tab shows who has voted, proving participation. Neither ever shows what anyone voted for: the ballot content is permanently separated from voter identity at a structural level.

You can show that a member voted. You can never see which candidates they chose. Both are documented. Neither compromises the other.

Ballot content permanently separated from voter identity
Each voter's participation shown on the Voters tab
No one, including admins, can trace a vote to a voter
Satisfies both privacy and accountability requirements

Anonymous + Verifiable

Prove participation. Protect privacy.

Who Needs Election Audit Trails?

If your organization has governance rules around elections, this is the record that shows how the vote ran.

HOAs & Condo Boards

State laws require documented election procedures for board elections, bylaw amendments, and special assessments. The dashboard shows when notices went out, and the audit trail records every ballot and how the election closed.

Unions & Labor Groups

The LMRDA and Department of Labor require unions to maintain election records for at least one year and let each candidate have an observer. ElectionChamp keeps election records for 5 years, gives each observer a read-only link that never shows a voter key, and our audit trail provides the documentation needed to satisfy regulatory audits.

LMRDA / DOL requirements · LMRDA guide

Nonprofits & Associations

Bylaws typically require documented notice to members and a record of election proceedings. The dashboard shows when notices went out, and the audit trail records how the election ran.

What Your Audit Record Proves

When someone challenges your election, this is the evidence you'll be glad you have.

Proper Notice Was Given The time invitations went out, and every reminder and resend
Every Eligible Voter Was Invited The complete voter list, with who has voted
One Person, One Vote Unique voter keys prevent duplicate voting
Votes Were Secret Structural ballot separation: no vote-to-voter tracing possible
Results Were Accurately Counted Computed automatically from the ballots, with a per-ballot file to check against
Quorum Was Met Participation rate documented with eligible vs. actual voter counts

Audit & Compliance Questions

Everything that happens once the election launches, in time order: when voting started, every ballot submitted (never by whom), reminders sent, emails and texts resent, extra keys added, keys deactivated (elections launched before October 11, 2026), observer links added, revoked and viewed, views of the results and voter list, and how the election closed. Each entry has a precise timestamp.

No. Organizers can't edit or delete an entry; the app has no way to change one. The trail is kept with the election for 5 years and deleted with it after a 30-day notice.

No. The audit trail records that a ballot was submitted, never by whom or how. Voter identity is structurally separated from ballot data, so it's impossible for anyone, including ElectionChamp staff, to trace a vote back to a specific voter.

On your election's Audit trail tab, click Download CSV. The file has every entry, oldest first, with times in your election's time zone and in UTC, and voter keys masked. Most organizations attach it to their board meeting minutes or keep it on file.

Yes. The complete audit trail is included on every plan, including the free tier for up to 20 voters. We believe every election, regardless of size, deserves proper documentation and compliance records.

Election records, including the audit trail, are kept for 5 years after an election closes (or after its last activity, if that is later), well beyond the LMRDA's one-year minimum for union elections. Then the election is deleted. We email you at least 30 days before, so download the results and keep copies of any records your organization must hold longer.
