About Our Voting Online Software

Our cloud-based software is an award-winning solution for numerous reasons.

Security for integrity of elections
  • Outstanding Administrator and Voter Experiences

    Our software prioritizes the user experience for both administrators and voters.

    Election officials enjoy full control to customize the platform for their specific needs. Setting up the election is seamless, with an intuitive interface and unified dashboard. Personalize the ballot with your candidate information, logos, and more. Easily upload a .csv or .xls voter database, and automatically text or email voters about ballot availability. Schedule the time frame for vote submission directly within the portal, and the election will seamlessly align to your requirements.

    The voter experience is equally enjoyable. Your members benefit from one-click, secure sign-ins. They can access candidate data directly in the platform to compare credentials, goals, and more as they're preparing to vote.

    SBS also has the necessary resources to cater to organizations seeking increased support. We can help you separate yourself from the entire process by engaging a dedicated SBS team member to fully manage it on your behalf.

Complete election management solution
  • Extensive Customization

    Our DIY voting platform offers complete customization for your organization's needs, making it ideal for budget approvals, Board of Directors elections, special project votes, and bylaw voting.

    Conduct your election completely online, or make it hybrid with paper mailing options built directly into our easy-to-use interface. Segment your members and customize their communications according to their preferences. Our team can also oversee and manage this for you if desired.

Instant Election Results
