How it works

1. Pick a moment

Every national election since 1994, plus the 1992 whites-only referendum, now open to anyone.

2. Cast a pretend vote

One vote per device per election. Nothing you do here counts anywhere real.

3. Humans vs bots

A Cloudflare Turnstile check sorts votes into a human column and a bot column. Bots are welcome; they just get counted separately.

4. Compare with history

Official results, with sources, sit next to the ifivoted totals, nationally and on the province map. →
