How much does it cost to run a voting event in Ghana?

There is no upfront fee to set up an event. Mould takes a commission on the votes you sell, at the rate set by your event package. A withdrawal fee is deducted when you request a payout: 1% below GHS 1,000, or GHS 10 from GHS 1,000 upward.

Can people vote without internet access?

Yes. Mould supports USSD voting, so a supporter can vote from any phone by dialling a short code — no smartphone and no data bundle required. Those votes count into the same total as web votes.

Which payment methods can voters use?

Online voters can pay with Mobile Money or a supported card. USSD voting uses Mobile Money, so a bank card is not required.

Can I stop people from seeing the results while voting is open?

Yes. You control whether vote counts, percentages and trending nominees are visible to the public, and you can keep full results hidden until you choose to reveal them.

How do voters check that their vote went through?

Every payment produces a receipt with a reference number. Voters can look up that reference at any time to confirm the votes were counted.

How paid voting works on Mould

You set the price of a vote. Supporters find your event, pick a nominee, choose how many votes they want, and pay with Mobile Money. A confirmed payment adds the votes to that nominee's tally and produces a receipt the supporter can check later.

Mobile Money and card options at online checkout
Bulk vote packages for supporters who want to buy in volume
A receipt for every payment, checkable by reference

Two ways to vote, one set of results

Not everyone who wants to vote for your nominee will be online. Mould counts web votes and USSD votes into the same tally, so a supporter with a smartphone and a supporter with a feature phone both reach the same leaderboard.

Web voting from any browser, shareable by link
USSD voting from any phone, no data required
Contestant codes so voters can go straight to a nominee
One leaderboard covering every channel

What organisers control

You decide what the public sees. Show or hide vote counts, percentages and trending nominees while voting is open, and reveal full results when you are ready. Voting can be paused at any point without ending the event.

Getting paid

Earnings accumulate against your event as votes come in. You can see what each category and nominee has generated, and request a withdrawal to your own account. Your package commission and withdrawal fee are shown before you submit a payout request.

How to choose a voting platform in Ghana

Start with the people who will vote and the type of event you run. For awards, pageants and contests, check how supporters vote, when a payment becomes a counted vote, what proof they receive, and who controls public results. Ask each provider to demonstrate the full voter journey before publishing your event.

Check whether supporters can vote by web, USSD, or both
Confirm the payment methods and when votes enter the tally
Ask how voters verify a payment and how organisers reconcile results
Review controls for vote counts, leaderboards, and result release
