Tabulation

Tabulation collects, counts, and verifies votes cast in an election. Accurate tabulation is a must not only to ensure the integrity of the election results, but also for maintaining member trust. Tabulation methods vary depending on how members vote, ranging from counting paper ballots to tabulating digital votes. Member associations should keep detailed records of their tabulation processes to address any potential disputes. Contentious elections are best handled by a neutral third-party provider, like Survey & Ballot Systems, who can tabulate and certify the election results.
