The thing point solutions can't do
Every election cycle, your jurisdiction becomes two employers at once: the permanent government you run year-round, and a temporary workforce of thousands that appears for a few weeks — then disappears.
Unify is the only platform that treats both as one workforce: shared records, one payroll engine, one audit trail, one login. No spreadsheets bridging two systems.

What changes with Unify
From patchwork to one platform
The daily realities public-sector teams describe to us — and what each one looks like once it runs on Unify.
Without Unify
Siloed systems
HR in one tool, election payroll in spreadsheets — and nothing reconciles.
With Unify
One system of record
Every worker — permanent or temporary — in one place that reconciles itself.
Without Unify
Paying thousands of temp workers
A surge workforce appears for weeks, each with different roles and rates.
With Unify
Payroll built for the surge
Role-based pay and mass onboarding, handled at full cycle scale.
Without Unify
Compliance risk
State election codes and wage rules leave no room for a mistake or a gap.
With Unify
Compliant by default
Codes, rates, and a full audit trail built in — not bolted on.
Without Unify
Manual, slow processes
Urgent timesheets wait in loops while staff copy-paste into another system.
With Unify
Automated end to end
Pay rules flow end-to-end to take weeks of cleanup down to days.
Built to the standards you're audited against
Independent audits, government-grade controls, and accessibility baked in — documented and ready for your security review.
"Before Unify, election payroll meant three weeks of spreadsheets and overtime. Now my team runs it in days — and I can answer any auditor's question in one system."
SCSandra ColeElection Director, Dane County
Questions your committee will ask
Straight answers to what procurement, IT, and leadership want to know.
Point solutions leave you reconciling two systems every election cycle — duplicate records, manual exports, and no single audit trail. Unify keeps your permanent workforce and election surge workforce in one system of record, so data entered once is correct everywhere and auditors get one consistent answer.
Unify is SOC 2 Type II audited, StateRAMP and TX-RAMP authorized, and aligned to NIST 800-53 controls. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in U.S. data centers, with role-based access controls and full audit logging. Our security documentation package is available before you sign anything.
Most jurisdictions go live in 8–12 weeks. A dedicated implementation manager handles data migration, configuration, and staff training. Your team’s time commitment is typically a few hours per week — we’ve built the process around the reality that your staff already have full-time jobs.
Yes. Pay rules, approval chains, role-based pay rates, union provisions, and state election-code requirements are all configurable — not custom code. When your ordinances or state statutes change, your administrators can update rules without a professional-services engagement.
Unify is built to WCAG 2.1 AA and designed for people who use it twice a year, not just power users. Poll workers onboard from a phone in minutes; supervisors approve time in two clicks. If your least technical election judge can use it, everyone can.
Every customer gets a named customer success manager, U.S.-based support with guaranteed response times, and priority coverage during election weeks — when it matters most. Training is included, with refreshers before each cycle for seasonal staff.
