We retain all collected data indefinitely, unless legally required to delete it. Retaining this data helps maintain transparency and historical civic records.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard your information.

However, no online system is fully secure, and by using Meromat you acknowledge this limitation.

We cannot verify that voters are authentic or registered Nepali voters. Voting activity and results on Meromat are for civic awareness and general information only, not for official election purposes.

We may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance user experience and gather non-personal analytics. You may disable cookies in your browser, though some features may not function properly.

Meromat is primarily operated in Nepal and is intended for Nepalis both inside and outside Nepal.

By using our platform, you consent to the storage and processing of your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of Meromat after updates indicates your acceptance of the new version.

Images regarding political parties and candidates may have been taken from public searches, and we do not own them but used for clarity purposes.
