VotingWorks is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds open-source, secure election technology systems for U.S. voting. Their platform includes hand-marked paper ballots, ballot-marking devices, tabulators, and built-in audit tools. They emphasize radical transparency by publishing all source code and documentation for public review.

VotingWorks has deployed its systems in real elections in multiple U.S. states including New Hampshire and Mississippi, gaining credibility as a legitimate alternative to commercial vendors. As a nonprofit, it operates on a mission-driven model, providing affordable and auditable systems to jurisdictions looking for transparent alternatives. The organization remains small but has demonstrated technical viability in live election environments.

VotingWorks is well-positioned to capitalize on growing demand for election technology transparency following years of public distrust in voting systems. Adoption will likely remain slow due to the conservative procurement culture of local election officials, but a few high-profile successful deployments could accelerate interest. Long-term success depends on sustaining nonprofit funding and navigating complex state certification processes.
