What Electis does
Electis (Electis Solutions, SAS) is a Paris-based SaaS electronic voting platform founded in 2018 and restructured as a commercial entity in July 2022. The company provides secure online voting for French Social and Economic Committee (CSE) elections in private companies, public-sector CST elections, parent-representative school elections, corporate governance and assembly votes, and municipal citizen participation through its Electis City product.
The platform is built on an open-source stack using Django (Python), with votes anchored on the Tezos blockchain, results stored on IPFS, and cryptographic integrity guaranteed by homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge proofs (NIZK), client-side encryption, and integration with Microsoft's ElectionGuard SDK. It carries significant regulatory and certification weight in France, including CNIL Level 3 data-protection certification, Afnor Certification, Privacy Tech Charter membership, inclusion in the Gouv'Tech catalog, Ministry of Labor homologation for CSE elections, and GDPR/CCPA compliance.
Electis sells through annual SaaS subscriptions starting at €280 (ex-VAT) for small CSE elections under 50 voters, with three pricing tiers (Basic, Expert, Premium) scaling by voter count and feature scope, plus optional partial-election coverage for €100 mid-mandate. Go-to-market mixes direct sales, inside sales, channel partnerships (notably PEEP for schools), and event-driven outreach (French Senate testimony, Athens Democracy Forum). Notable enterprise and institutional customers include the UN (COP27 with 5,000+ voters), the Assemblée nationale, Dropbox, Radisson Hotel Group, Seagate, Lagardère, CMS, FranceAgriMer, and Cambridge University Press; the school segment reached 21,000+ parent voters in 2024. To date, the only publicly disclosed funding is a €500,000 Tezos Foundation grant in 2019.

Electis competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Microsoft ElectionGuard: Open-source SDK from Microsoft providing end-to-end verifiable election building blocks. Directly embedded in Electis's technology stack and represents a potential platformization risk if Microsoft extends ElectionGuard into a complete vertical solution.
- Tezos Foundation: Foundation governing the Tezos blockchain protocol on which Electis's core immutability and smart-contract layers are built. Functions as both historical investor and ecosystem infrastructure provider rather than a direct competitor, but shapes Electis's strategic direction.
Emerging players
- ElectionBuddy: Online voting platform serving associations, boards, and organizations with smaller-scale elections. Less focused on French CSE regulatory nuance but competes in the same broader organization-voting use cases as Electis's governance offering.
- Simply Voting: Canada-based online voting service for associations, unions, and corporations. Competes with Electis in the broader online voting SaaS market, particularly for union and association elections, though without French regulatory certifications.
Direct peers
- Neovote: France-headquartered electronic voting platform serving professional and corporate elections. Identified by Electis as one of three primary French CSE voting competitors alongside Voxaly and WeChooz.
- Belenios: Open-source verifiable voting platform developed by French academic researchers, used by organizations including CNRS for elections. Comparable to Electis in verifiable cryptography but serves an academic/community segment rather than commercial CSE market.
- Voxaly: French electronic voting provider directly competing with Electis in the CSE professional election market. Voxaly is cited explicitly in Electis's competitive analysis as a primary competitor in the French works council voting segment.
- WeChooz: French online voting platform specializing in professional elections, assemblies, and governance votes. Named by Electis as a direct competitor in the CSE election segment with overlapping product positioning.
Broad incumbents
- POLYAS: German-based established electronic voting provider with broader European footprint across professional elections, shareholder voting, and association governance. Competes with Electis in cross-border and large-organization election segments.
- Scytl (now part of Paragon): Historically one of the largest global election technology providers, offering online voting and election management for governments and organizations. Comparable to Electis in verifiable e-voting but at much larger scale and broader international scope.
