About Baalot
Builtwhereitmattersmost.
Baalot started with a disputed student election and a question: why should democratic institutions in Africa run elections on paper and spreadsheets when the technology to do better already exists?

One-Vote Rule
What We Stand For
Ourvalues.
Every Vote Counts
Not as a slogan — as an engineering requirement. We build systems where a single vote cannot be lost, changed, or ignored.
Built for Africa
Africa's democracy deserves infrastructure designed for African realities: low bandwidth, feature phones, multiple languages, high trust stakes.
Radical Transparency
The only way to trust an election is to verify it yourself. We're building a public, permanent audit trail that anyone can verify.
Speed Without Shortcuts
We deploy in under two weeks — not by cutting corners, but by building reusable infrastructure that compounds with every election.
Our Story
Fromonedisputedelectiontoaplatform.
A disputed election
Founder Adole Daniel sees a student election fall apart — manual counting, contested results, no audit trail — and asks why democratic institutions in Africa still run on paper and spreadsheets.
Baalot takes shape
A mobile-first election platform: anonymous ballots stored unreadable, server-verified one-vote-per-identity, a voting PIN with optional biometrics, and live real-time tallies.
More than a ballot
Per-institution mini-apps and branding, multi-position ballots, elections that auto open and close, an admin dashboard, a community feed, campaign reels, a news feed, and the in-app Levi assistant — on Android, iOS, and web.
In the field
Baalot's in-app directory now spans 110+ institutions across Nigeria.
What we're building
Public-blockchain anchoring and zero-knowledge vote proofs — so any result can be independently verified after polls close, without ever revealing a ballot.
Transparency
