the process
What it takes to run an election with online voting for associations
Associations hold regular elections for leadership positions and a board of directors, and may hold various other votes for local representatives, councils and committees. These elections might also coincide with an Annual General Meeting (AGM). No matter the election type, implementing online voting software follows a simple process.
Is online voting allowed in your association?
Associations often have bylaws that dictate how elections and decision-making processes can be run. Prior to planning your online voting process, ensure that your association’s bylaws allow for the use of online voting technology.
How can you update your bylaws?
If the use of online voting technology is not allowed in your association’s bylaws, you may need to conduct a vote or petition the board of directors to amend the regulations. The amendment process is also typically detailed in the bylaws.
Creating an up-to-date
voter list
In an online election, your voter list will need to be accurate and complete with voters’ information so that they can receive the necessary materials for voting online. This information often includes an email address and/or telephone number, as well as a personal ID or membership number.
Sending the voting credentials
When the voter list is complete, each voter will receive their credentials for securely logging on to the voting portal via email or SMS. Our experienced team will help you through this part, so you have nothing to worry about.
Generating the online ballots
Before the election, you will also need to create the ballots. Since members may be voting for both regional and association-wide positions, you might have to create multiple ballots. Thanks to our solutions’ streamlined designs, though, this doesn’t take much time at all.
Voting
begins
When the voting period is open, participants can log on to the voting portal using their previously sent credentials. Voting is as easy as choosing your preferred candidate or option, confirming your choice, and casting your ballot.
Calculating results
After the voting process, each ballot is securely decrypted, preserving each participants’ anonymity (unless otherwise specified), and is automatically counted. Results can then be verified by the election committee and published
online.
Verifying
the election
Every step of the voting process can be verified by third-party auditors, if necessary. Participants can also individually verify that their ballot was correctly cast by using a voting receipt sent to them just after voting.
