SparkGlim Creator App USSD campaign management screen

Short-code participation

Make voting accessible through a guided USSD flow

Connect campaign and nominee codes to supported USSD voting, payment confirmation, vote records, and creator reporting with SparkGlim.

Built around the real workflow

A direct answer to what you searched for

USSD gives audiences a structured way to participate from a mobile phone without navigating a full browser journey. SparkGlim links the selected campaign, nominee code, number of votes, payment process, and resulting vote record so USSD participation remains part of the same campaign source of truth.

Does USSD require a smartphone?

USSD is designed for supported mobile network sessions and does not depend on a smartphone browser interface.
