Online Ballot

Also called a digital ballot, an online ballot is an electronic vote submitted via the internet. Instead of more traditional paper ballots that require voting in person or via the mail, voting members submit their ballots via a secure, confidential online website. Online ballots eliminate the need for a physical presence or paper ballots, often increasing voter turnout and streamlining the election process. However, associations must take extra steps to ensure online ballots are confidential and secure, so cybersecurity measures are a must.
