How does a society run its committee elections online?
A society, club or community group can run its committee elections, officer appointments and AGM motions online, unless its rules require another method. Choice Voting handles the whole thing by secret ballot, with candidate nominations and statements, the right counting method for the race, and an instant result with a full audit trail for the minutes.
Online voting for societies and clubs
More members taking part, far less work for the committee.
Society and club elections often happen at an AGM that only a handful of members can attend, so the same few people decide everything and the committee spends the evening counting slips. That is no way to choose who runs a group that belongs to all its members. Choice Voting lets every member take part from wherever they are. Set up your committee election and your AGM motions in minutes, invite your members, and open the vote so people decide from any device. Every vote is a true secret ballot, counted correctly for the race, and the result is there the moment voting closes, with turnout and an audit trail you can put straight into the minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Can members vote before the AGM, or only on the night?
Both. You set the opening and closing times, so members can vote in advance, during the meeting, or across a window that covers both. Everyone votes through the same secure link on any device.
Which method should we use for a contested committee election?
For several seats, approval voting or single transferable vote usually fits, and both are built in. Instant runoff suits a single winner role. The platform guides you to a suitable method and counts it correctly.
Can we run the election and the motions together?
Yes. A single event can hold your committee election, your motions and an attendance RSVP, each with its own settings. Members get one invitation and move through everything in one sitting.
Is the vote secret and auditable?
Yes. Every vote is a true secret ballot, encrypted and delivered through a personal secure link, and no committee member can see how anyone voted. Every result carries a full audit trail for the minutes.
How quickly do we get the result?
As soon as voting closes. The result appears straight away with turnout, a full breakdown and a downloadable audit trail.
