1. Candidate Profile QR

Each candidate's campaign literature carries a QR linking to their profile page: biography, policy positions, endorsements, and contact. Voters research before deciding.

2. Polling Location Finder

Electoral commission QR on official polling cards links to the verified polling place finder. One scan shows the correct location, accessible routes, and opening hours.

3. Declaration of Result

A QR on the official count notice links to the live results page. Journalists and observers scan for real-time updates without needing a separate URL.

4. Non-Partisan Balance

Election authority QRs must be strictly non-partisan. Candidate QRs are inherently partisan. Keep campaign QRs on campaign materials and official QRs on official notices — never mix them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can official election QR codes point to candidate pages?

No. Official authority QRs must only link to non-partisan government information. Candidate links appear only on campaign material.

Is there a risk that a campaign QR points to false information?

Yes. Campaign QRs are the responsibility of the candidate. Voters should verify the domain matches the official campaign website.
