Why do golf clubs need online voting?

Most golf clubs still run elections and AGM votes by a show of hands or paper ballot at the meeting. That excludes members who cannot attend, produces no auditable record and makes contested results hard to defend. Online voting lets every member take part wherever they are, produces an instant, verifiable result and gives the committee a full audit trail. Whether it is a captain election, a rule change requiring a 75% supermajority, or a simple satisfaction survey, the process is the same: set up the vote, invite members, close the ballot, publish the result.

Elections and decisions. One platform.

Your club needs formal ballots that stand up to scrutiny and quick member checks that take two minutes. Choice Voting handles both with the same login.

Engage and consult

Hear from your whole membership

For committees and managers who want genuine member input, not just the views of the thirty people who turned up to the AGM.

Elect and decide

Run a ballot that stands up to scrutiny

For club secretaries and committee chairs who need a vote that is secret, properly counted and fully auditable.

A show of hands is not a real result.

When a captain election is run by raised hands or a quick count at the bar, there is no record, no audit trail and nothing to show if a member challenges the outcome. Choice Voting turns every ballot into a structured, defensible result you can publish with confidence.

Every club vote, in one place.

From a quick member poll to a contested captain election, each one runs on the same secure platform and feeds the same reporting.

Golf club voting: the questions clubs ask us most.

Can we run a captain election and an AGM resolution vote at the same time?

Yes. You can run multiple votes simultaneously, each with its own eligibility list, voting method and deadline. Members receive a single invitation with links to every open ballot.

Does it handle the 75% special resolution threshold?

Yes. You set the pass threshold per resolution, whether that is a simple majority, two-thirds or 75%. The platform calculates automatically and the result is recorded in the audit trail.

How do members who are not online take part?

Members vote on any device with a browser and internet connection. For members who prefer paper, you can run a postal ballot alongside the online vote and merge the results. The managed election service handles this for you.

Is the ballot really secret?

Yes. For any election you can enable a true secret ballot, where a member's identity is never linked to their vote, even in the audit log. This is the right setting for captain elections, committee elections and contested resolutions.

Can we brand the voting page with our club crest?

Yes. Upload your crest and add a welcome message. Members see your club, not ours.

What evidence do we get that the result is sound?

Every vote produces a timestamped audit trail and an exportable evidence pack covering eligibility, participation and the result. If a member queries the outcome at a general meeting, you have a defensible record rather than a show of hands.

Give your members a vote they trust.

Captain elections, committee ballots, AGM resolutions, special votes. One secure platform, one audit trail, one team behind it.
