MicroVote General Corporation

What MicroVote General Corporation does

MicroVote General Corporation is a privately held, Indianapolis-based manufacturer of Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting systems, claiming to be the longest continuously operating voting systems provider in the United States. The company builds proprietary hardware — anchored by the MicroVote Infinity Voting Panel (VP-1), a tactile-button DRE device with memory card-based activation and data collection — and complements it with a VVPAT paper audit trail add-on and an integrated All-In-One Voting Station. The technology stack is built on embedded computing and proprietary database software used to program elections and retrieve results, with no public evidence of AI/ML components. In 2009 the company became the first U.S. firm to achieve federal certification for a voting system, and it maintains EAC-aligned equipment and certified NIST Cybersecurity Framework personnel.

The company sells its systems through direct, relationship-based sales to county and local government election authorities across the United States. Its revenue model combines hardware sales (DRE voting panels, VVPAT units, All-In-One Stations), recurring machine servicing and maintenance contracts, professional training services, and distribution income from reselling the KNOWiNK Electronic Poll Pad (now deployed in 500+ jurisdictions). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contract structures typical of government procurement. The company also operates an online Election Supply Store as a transactional channel and engages in federal-level election security initiatives as a founding member of the EI-SCC alongside the Department of Homeland Security.

MicroVote is a small organization with approximately 13 employees and no disclosed revenue, funding, or institutional investors. Its competitive position is built on regulatory certification, incumbency, and entrenched customer relationships rather than scale or technology differentiation. The addressable customer base is narrow — effectively U.S. county and local government election authorities — with a secondary vertical in private organizational elections.
