The Advantages of Voting Online

Some advantages are inherent to voting online, others are made possible by industry-leading technologies available only from ElectionsOnline.

• Saved Ballot Templates eliminate the need to configure elections from scratch. Just do it once, then save that ballot configuration, and in subsequent years, specify only the names of the candidates.
• Reduced costs are enjoyed when the expenses of printing and mailing paper ballots are lessened or even eliminated.
• Email Solicitation adds value by soliciting an email address from voters without one already on record.
• Email Reminders helps increase voter participation by reminding those who’ve not voted to do so.
• Email Validation brings added value to your online election ensuring the validity of your voters’ email addresses.
• Ballot Scrubbing ensures no ballot is spoiled due to anything not in compliance with your voting rules.
• Ballot Shuffling randomly orders the candidates’ names on each request of the ballot so all candidates get a fair chance at prime name placement on the ballot. Shuffling may be enabled on some positions and not others.
• On-demand Paper Ballots simplify hybrid elections by allowing an election administrator to generate a voter-specific paper ballot that honors all the election settings just as web ballots do. Learn more at the product comparison chart.
