How we build

Built like it matters.

Boring tech, small surface area.

Fewer moving parts means fewer 11 pm failures at your AGM.

Bilingual by default.

Built in a French-English district; every governance product speaks both.

Audit trails where it matters.

Votes carry a cryptographic hash chain. Trust, verifiable.

Priced for volunteer budgets.

Flat, published prices. No per-seat games. Paddle handles tax in your country.

From the founder
Ronald Servant, founder of Red Taverns
I built the first version of Red Vote because my own district council deserved better than spreadsheets and crossed fingers. Everything we ship starts as a real problem in a real district — mine.
