Case Study: Iowa Democratic and Republican Caucuses achieve secure, accurate real-time caucus reporting with Xamarin

Iowa Democratic and Republican Caucuses build confidence in election results with mobile voting

The Iowa Democratic and Republican Caucuses needed a faster, more secure way to report results after the 2012 voting controversies exposed errors in the old phone-based process. They partnered with Xamarin and InterKnowlogy to build mobile caucus reporting apps that could work across iOS, Android, and Windows while supporting a wide range of users and strict reporting rules.

Xamarin helped deliver a single-codebase solution that streamlined development and testing, while also enabling native-quality apps with two-factor authentication and real-time integration across the reporting ecosystem. The result was a secure, validated system that captured more than 90% of caucus results within three hours and delivered results to parties, news outlets, and the public.
