Voters access a ballot using a unique link and credentials. Voters submit their choices and no further action is required.

Vote Duration

The voting period is open from a day to months. Voters respond at their convenience during the voting period.

Vote Duration

For each voting item, the voting period is open between 1 and 480 minutes.

Announcement

Voter Experience

Eligible voters receive an announcement with an invitation to participate in an upcoming vote or meeting. Optionally, have voters confirm participation in the upcoming vote.

Announcements can include a request to confirm participation in the upcoming vote, along with optional questions to provide feedback or nominate candidates.

Vote Duration

The response period is generally up to 90 days prior to the election or meeting. Voters respond at their convenience during the announcement period.
