About MVPoll

Empowering Maldivians to shape their future through secure, anonymous, and democratic polling

Our Mission

MVPoll was created to give every Maldivian a voice in shaping the future of our nation. We believe that democracy thrives when citizens can express their opinions freely, securely, and anonymously.

By combining secure identity verification with cryptographic anonymity, we've created a platform where your voice matters, but your privacy is protected.

Why We Built This

Give Everyone a Voice

Traditional surveys and polls often miss large segments of the population. MVPoll makes it easy for every verified Maldivian to participate in important discussions.

Protect Privacy

People should be able to express their honest opinions without fear of judgment or repercussion. Our anonymous voting system ensures your choices remain private.

Ensure Authenticity

By using secure identity verification, we prevent fake votes and ensure one person = one vote, maintaining the integrity of every poll.

Provide Insights

Understand how different demographics view important issues through aggregated statistics, helping policymakers and citizens make informed decisions.

How MVPoll Works

1

Verification

Users verify their identity once using either:

  • eFaas: Instant verification through secure ID system
  • Manual KYC: Upload ID documents for admin review

This ensures only real Maldivian citizens can vote, preventing fraud and duplicate accounts.

2

Poll Creation

Authorized administrators create polls on important topics. Each poll can have:

  • Single-choice voting (pick one option)
  • Multiple-choice voting (pick several options)
  • Ranked-choice voting (rank options by preference)

Polls can be targeted to specific demographics (age groups, locations) or open to all verified users.

3

Anonymous Voting

When you vote:

  1. System checks you're verified and eligible
  2. Your vote is recorded without your user ID
  3. Only demographic category is stored (age group, gender, atoll)
  4. No one can trace the vote back to you

Technical guarantee: Your identity and vote are stored in separate database tables with no linking fields. Even database administrators cannot connect them.

Results & Insights

Poll results show:

  • Overall vote percentages
  • Demographic breakdowns (by age, gender, location)
  • Winning option(s)
  • Total participation numbers

All statistics are aggregated - individual votes remain anonymous.

Technology & Security

MVPoll is built using modern, secure technologies:

Secure Database

MySQL with encrypted storage, prepared statements to prevent SQL injection, and strict access controls.

Cryptographic Hashing

SHA-256 for national ID hashing, Argon2ID for password hashing - industry-standard algorithms.

Blockchain-Style Audit

Every action is logged with cryptographic chaining, making tampering immediately detectable.

Secure Authentication

Integration with eFaas identity system using OpenID Connect for secure authentication.

Our Legitimacy & Trust

Independently Verified Identity

We integrate with the eFaas identity verification system, ensuring only verified citizens can participate. MVPoll operates independently and is not influenced by any external parties.

Transparent Security

Our security measures are documented and verifiable. We use industry-standard encryption, hashing, and audit logging. Anyone can verify the integrity of our system.

Immutable Audit Trail

Every action on the platform is logged with cryptographic proof. This creates an unchangeable record that can be audited at any time.

Privacy-First Design

We don't just claim to protect privacy - our system is architecturally designed to make it impossible to link votes to individuals. It's not a policy, it's mathematics.

Democratic Principles

MVPoll is built on the principles of democratic participation: one person one vote, equal voice for all, and protection of minority opinions.

Who We Are

MVPoll is developed by a team of Maldivian technologists, security experts, and democracy advocates who believe in the power of citizen participation.

We're committed to maintaining MVPoll as a free, secure, and anonymous platform for all Maldivians to express their opinions on issues that matter to them and their communities.
