Simply Voting’s very first customer was the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU); thus, we are proud to be able to make a donation of $10,000 to COVID-19 Research to support the McGill community now, just as they supported us at the very beginning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created enormous challenges when it comes to public health, and has significantly impacted the ways in which we live and work. At Simply Voting, we are working around the clock to support organizations as they shift to conducting elections online. Alongside our work in the voting world, we also wanted to contribute to efforts being made by our local medical community to combat the pandemic.

The McGill Emergency COVID-19 Research Fund has brought together more than 250 researchers who are specialized in infectious and immune-mediated diseases in order to engage in vital research that encompasses conducting clinical trials, creating new diagnostic tools, and developing drug therapies.

The McGill research community has played a leading role in the race to end the COVID-19 pandemic. Their experts has already worked with partners around the world to combat the spread of the coronavirus and help treat sufferers.

An Ethics section has been added to our website, where you can read more about Simply Voting’s ethics, including our Code of Ethics and access to ethics related reporting.

The importance of ethics within the elections industry cannot be understated. While companies like Simply Voting are often involved in only a slice of organizational governance, platforms like our own can be critical in ensuring all stakeholders in the democratic process feel elections are conducted transparently and with integrity. Voting systems, and the companies and employees that maintain them, must engender trust in all those involved. To this end, we believe defining the ethics and values that all of us follow at Simply Voting is integral to servicing the needs of our customers and all other involved stakeholders.

Simply Voting maintains a Code of Ethics, which all employees are trained on and attest to on an annual basis. We also maintain an “ethics hotline” where employees or other outside parties may anonymously report ethical problems related to various areas of concern.
