How Prestige Works
- Create or join a ballot. Anyone with the link can vote; the creator picks the question and choices.
- Vote privately. Your choice is hidden inside a cryptographic commitment. The server never sees what you voted for.
- Return after voting ends to reveal your choice. Reveal is required for your vote to count — use the same browser where you voted.
- Anyone can verify the final tally. Every commitment and reveal is public, so the result is independently checkable.

🔒 Privacy Tips for Anonymous Voting
🧅 Use Tor Browser
For maximum anonymity, access Prestige through Tor Browser. This hides your IP address and location from the voting server.
- Download from the official Tor Project website only
- Keep the security slider at "Safest" for high-stakes votes
- Don't resize the browser window (fingerprinting)
🛡️ Use a VPN
If Tor is too slow or blocked, a reputable VPN provides good privacy. Consider:
- Mullvad VPN - No account required, accepts cash/crypto
- ProtonVPN - Free tier available, Swiss privacy laws
- IVPN - Audited, no-logs policy verified
Avoid free VPNs - they often log and sell your data.
📱 Device Privacy
- Use a private/incognito browser window
- Clear cookies and site data after voting
- Consider using a separate device or VM for sensitive votes
- Disable browser extensions that may track you
⏰ Timing Considerations
- Don't vote immediately after receiving the ballot link
- Space out your vote and reveal to avoid timing correlation
- If using Enhanced Privacy Mode, the server adds random delays automatically
🔐 For High-Stakes Voting
When voting on sensitive issues (whistleblower protections, union votes, etc.):
- Use Tor over VPN for layered protection
- Vote from a public WiFi network (library, cafe)
- Use a fresh browser profile with no extensions
- Never discuss your vote on the same network
