Online Elections Software

Online elections software offers many advantages over the standard way of electronic voting. By comparison, the typical form of input in electronic voting is a wireless keypad, or a “clicker”, whereas in online elections, participants vote using a browser, or an app on their own devices (BYOD), while connected to the internet.

Online elections can be done at any time, regardless of the participants’ physical location. This allows for ‘staggered elections’, which lets people in different time zones vote at times that are most convenient for them.

Official Electronic Voting System for U. S. House of Representatives

“The use of an electronic voting system helps us process the full markup votes among the 50+ members — accurately — in less than two minutes. By comparison, it used to take us 10 minutes to vote on a single item.”

— Nancy Locke, Chief Clerk at Committee on Natural Resources

Online, electronic voting systems allow the operator to actively validate the registration process, prepare the voting topics (e.g. motions, amendments and/or candidate names) ahead of time and automate the vote collection.

Voting results can be suppressed, or shown to the audience in immediately after the voting period is over and reports can be exported to most common formats, like PDF, Word, or Excel.

Participant Registration & Validation

Only the participants who were registered can take part in the online elections. Our Participant List feature strictly enforces the register you can set up ahead of time via manual entry or import of a file in CSV format.

Each participant can have a vote weight assigned to them, so that your specific election rules and vote allocation can be enforced easily and automatically.

Pre-Registered Participant List Finished — Each participant can be assigned a different 'weight' for their votes, so that they can vote as a proxy to someone else or simply increase the 'value' of their own vote per your election rules.
