About the NOVS Project
A National Online Voting System designed to bridge the gap between technology and tradition, ensuring every Bhutanese voice is heard through secure digital transformation.
Our Mission
To provide a highly secure, transparent, and user-friendly digital voting platform that simulates the rigorous electoral standards of the Kingdom of Bhutan. We aim to enhance democratic participation for citizens, regardless of their geographical location.
The Vision
Aligned with the Digital Drukyul initiative, our vision is to set a global benchmark for electoral integrity using cryptographic security and inclusive design, fostering a future where technology empowers national sovereignty.
The Three Pillars
Security & Privacy
Utilizing advanced hashing algorithms and OTP authentication to ensure that every vote is anonymous and tamper-proof.
Accessibility

Transparency
Integrated Observer dashboards and comprehensive audit logs allow for real-time monitoring without compromising voter secrecy.

Responsible for the overarching electoral rules, candidate validation, and the final certification of digital results.
GovTech Bhutan
The technical backbone of the project, providing the infrastructure and security protocols required for national-scale digital services.
The Bhutanese Citizenry
