iVoteOnline is an online voting software solution that makes voting fast, easy, and secure for voters. It was originally designed for student unions and student associations, but will work for anyone who wants to offer easy and convenient online voting. Administering an election is designed to be simple and requires very little technical knowledge. You can obtain a license to use the software, or let us set up your whole election for you each year.

What can iVoteOnline software do for me?

• Can work in coordination with traditional paper ballots
• Drastically reduced spoiled ballot count; extensive error checking
• Decreases (or totally eliminates!) ballot counting time and the boxes of ballots and reams of paper often employed by elections officers.
• Provides security while keeping ballots secret: there is no way for anyone to know who voted for who.
• Increases voter turnout. We've seen a 15% year-to-year increase in large student unions (~16,000), and peaked at over 80% voter turnout in smaller societies. (500 members).
• Candidate information pages accessible from the ballot help voters make better-informed choices.
• Allows for out-of-town voters to vote from all over the world.
• Signicant reductions in payroll costs - fewer poll clerks and fewer ballot counters are needed.
• Optional minute-by-minute vote tabulation.
• Easily customizable look and feel.
• Provides easy-to-use administration to add candidates, add users, view security reports, view results, and troubleshoot user login problems.

What other services are available?

• Student surveys: ask your students important questions, and let us write the report.
• Exit polling: as students submit ballots, we can suggest they take a survey asking questions about the election or your organization in general.
• Policy rewrites: some student organizations have policies or constitutions that don't allow for online voting. Our staff use their 12 years of experience with student association policy to re-write your policies. We are NOT lawyers, but we also don't charge their rates...
