If a user’s phone or wireless network is compromised, is their vote compromised as well?

The Voatz platform goes to significant lengths to prevent a vote from being submitted if a device is compromised, has malware on it, or is operating on a compromised network. Only certain types of smartphones that are equipped with the latest security features are compatible with Voatz. The platform’s threat detection mechanisms are able to identify if a mobile device is running malicious applications or has been rooted or jailbroken; if issues are found, the voter will see an error message and will not be able to submit a ballot. To mitigate a compromised wireless network, Voatz uses end-to-end encryption for all submitted ballots and also forces users to switch to a safer network if needed prior to letting them proceed.
