1. DESCRIPTION
Polys Online Voting System Background
Today, most voting is still done offline. Polls and ballots, with all their accompanying paperwork, are costly, inconvenient and require a lot of time and effort to organize and run. And that's the case for elections at all levels – for communities, political parties, businesses, and governments.
Polys was built to solve these problems. It is secure, transparent, easy to deploy and to use. Polys simplifies the whole voting process, reduces organization costs, allows to increase turnout and to raise legitimacy of voting results. There is also a functionality which allows to monitor elections online so that independent observers can monitor the voting and testify to the safety of voting and make sure that everything is correct.
Our voting system is based on blockchain technology and empowered by transparent encryption.
The functionality of the Product
The functionality of the Product depends on the type of License used, which is specified in the License Certificate, in accordance with the description in the User Manual.
The License Certificate means a document that may be given to the End User together with a Key file or an Activation code and contains information about the license.
Prices for the License (the Product as well as its optional modules) shall be indicated in Kaspersky's price list in effect at the time of order placement, which the Customer confirms to knowing and accepting. The current price list shall replace all previous lists.
