Voting Results Data Export Features

Online voting platforms need transparent auditability. Voting Results Data export features are one of the ways internet voting solutions like ElectionBuddy help make tabulating election results easy. Other features, such as data import for sending out election notices, are equally important, as are data security tools like voter anonymity and ballot confirmation. 

Data Makes the Modern World Go Round

Understanding users, or in our case voters,is critical to almost every digital tool we use. Usage patterns tell algorithms which videos people are most likely to watch on YouTube and similarly, voting patterns among organizational groups can inform executive decisions while maintaining anonymity and individual voter identities.

Election data is valuable as it shows a person's opinion on an issue in real time and gives them agency in their lives. Voting data is very personal and is perhaps the most sensitive data after one's own finances and medical information. Therefore, security is paramount for a positive user experience in e-voting platforms. Similarly, disseminating the voting results data back to voters is a critical loop that then bolsters confidence in the entire electronic voting process.

Online voting tools like ElectionBuddy understand the critical nature of this data. This is why we deliver a voting receipt number to voters immediately after their ballot is cast and that receipt number is a referenceable number should the voter have a a need to confirm that their choices were recorded in the final tally. Similarly organizations may have a requirement to export  the voting results data to member management systems or “member portals” to bolster transparency in the process and bolster confidence among the membership. And finally, organizations may want to report voter results data in “groups” familiar to existing membership attributes or levels or perhaps in a new membership grouping such as geography to inform members and executive decision makers alike on the similarities and contrasting preferences among east and west voters or senior or junior members r. The key is balancing data availability with security, voter anonymity and voter data usability for all parties 

Notice that a certain cohort of voters chose to abstain? Did one ballot measure get far less traction than anticipated? Quick feedback allows for fast changes to be made so the next election can be more successful with greater participation.
