TIVI Delivers Online Voting at the Highest Regulatory Standard
In 2023, TIVI powered online voting for Germany’s Social Elections, the first time the country’s third-largest election opened a digital channel. With an electorate of over 50 million, Social Elections are held under federal law and some of the strictest regulatory requirements in the world.
What Compliance Required
Online voting in Germany must satisfy federal election law, BSI-grade cybersecurity requirements, and the core democratic principles of vote secrecy, integrity, and verifiability. TIVI met these standards and delivered:
- End-to-end verifiability, so every vote cast is a vote recorded
- Independent voter verification through a secondary device
- Secure, auditable integration with offline voting channels
TIVI delivered secure online voting at national scale:
- 3 million eligible online voters
- 51 consecutive days of secure operations
- No security incidents that affected the election
- First use of online voting in a German Social Election
- Full integration with traditional postal voting
Beyond This Election
The German deployment shows what online voting can deliver for election authorities operating under strict oversight.
- Compliance at the national level. Online voting can operate under federal regulation and legal review.
- Scale to tens of millions of voters. The architecture holds up under the demands of a national electorate.
- Integration with existing infrastructure. Online channels work alongside postal and in-person voting, not in place of them.
- Secure performance over extended periods. Fifty-one days of operations without incidents that affected the election.
