Voter Hash Technology

To prevent duplicate voting while maintaining anonymity, we use a cryptographic hashing system:

• We combine your IP address and browser User-Agent string with a secret salt
• This combination is processed through SHA-256, a one-way cryptographic hash
• We store only the hash, not your actual IP address or User-Agent
• The hash cannot be reversed to reveal your identity
• Each poll has a unique hash for each voter
