The first POLYAS online election took place in Finland in the summer of 1996 with 30,000 voters in three languages. Following this success, POLYAS system was further developed by Micromata software company (known, for example, for the DHL tracking portal and online franking). Corporate spin-off took place in 2012 and POLYAS GmbH was created. In 2014 the young team managed to organize the first online election in a self-service format.
