ElectionBuddy is proud to support universities in running efficient, transparent, and secure votes. We've recently launched three new features developed for the unique needs of universities.
Easy Credentialing with Microsoft Entra Azure
ElectionBuddy supports Microsoft Azure SSO for both administrators and voters, creating a seamless and secure experience for students and faculty that host and participate in campus elections.
Here’s how universities benefit from setting up Microsoft Azure SSO with ElectionBuddy for both admin access and voter authentication:
- Streamlined Administrator Login: University staff and students can log into ElectionBuddy using their existing institutional Microsoft credentials. Administrators enjoy seamless sign-in for managing elections, while voters benefit from a simplified, password-free experience that eliminates the need for unique access links.
- Strengthened Security: Whether casting votes or managing elections, secure access is critical. Azure SSO enables multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and centralized identity controls, ensuring only authorized voters and administrators access what they need, when they need it.
- Centralized Access Control: University IT department staff can administer ElectionBuddy access through their existing Microsoft Entra Azure infrastructure. Dynamically assign and revoke administrator privileges or voter access, based on role changes, course enrollment, or employment status.
- Institutional Oversight: From faculty governance to student elections to alumni board voting, Microsoft Entra Azure SSO ensures that only verified users manage voting processes or participate in votes. This supports internal audits, reduces administrative burden, and maintains institutional trust in the election process.
Voting for any Campus Need
Whether it's a one-time vote with a student group or an institution-wide rollout, our pricing is tailored to fit your needs.
- Single Student Club or Alumni vote? Buy simple per-election pricing designed to meet the needs of any budget conscious
- Campus-wide solution? Buy an annual subscription, with a predictable per-student fee, ensuring IT and budget certainty while meeting the needs of all faculty, students and alumni.
Share Outcomes with Confidence
Transparency matters. ElectionBuddy’s Results Center provides a single location with a shareable link where voters can view voting outcomes, whether it’s a student council race, faculty vote, or alumni board decision.
The Results Center makes it simple to list results in one place to maintain trust and keep your campus community informed. It’s website-ready, easy to embed, easy to share, and keeps results accessible even after voting ends.
