Whether you’re a professional association, an industry association, an alumni, or a not-for-profit organization, the process for participating in online association voting is more or less the same. Here is how easy it is:
Once a voter receives an Email, SMS, or postal mail with a notification to vote, they login into the online voting system using a secure login process. It may involve the use of an email address, a unique code, or any other identifier used in the online voting system. As soon as the voter’s identity is verified and authenticated, they have access to the ballot.
Once a voter has accessed the ballot, they are able to see the listed candidates (or options) and cast a vote. The online voting system will guide them through the process step by step. Here, voters have to think through the decision thoroughly. They weigh the pros and cons of each candidate and cast a vote for the option that they think is the best. To help voters out during this step, our online system has the capability to display candidate information including pictures and a brief profile or biography.
When the time allotted for voting ends, the online voting system will automatically calculate the votes for each candidate. The admin, or a third-party election officer or inspector of elections can view and share the results as per the association's rules and operating policies. Online voting systems can make it easy to notify association members about the results via email or SMS.
It is true that transitioning from a traditional voting system to an online voting system may take some extra effort, time, and upfront money. Still, here are a few benefits of online voting systems that will help you understand why they could be game-changing for your association:
Association voting refers to the process where the members of an organization or an association cast votes to decide important matters, such as:
Traditionally, this process is conducted using paper ballots. Alternatively, online voting allows members of the association to cast votes electronically from any location in the world. They simply use a voting channel of their preference which will depend on the online voting system used, cast a vote, and wait for the results.
