Increase student engagement with a secure university voting system
Our roots are in the education sector, and we’ve continuously enhanced our features to provide better online voting tools that serve your needs.
A simple and secure university voting system for voters and administrators
Simply Voting’s first customer was the McGill University Student’s Union, and since 2003, our business has expanded to encompass a wide array of universities, student unions, educational institutions, faculty associations, and more. Our university voting system can be configured to allow single sign-on, meaning voters can log into the system and cast their ballot using their institutional login credentials, bypassing the need to send out voting credentials via email.
Using our voter segmentation feature, you can customize your ballots based on a voter’s department, major, work site, or student year to present only the ballot items relevant to their specific group. For larger institutions where multiple election administrators need access, you can use user groups to restrict election visibility to only those who are administrators for that group. Our university voting system is built from the ground up to streamline the entire election management and voting experience for both administrators and voters.
Features and Benefits
Dedicated Online Voting Website
An exclusive voting website for your elections, branded with your logo and colors. Easy-to-use, cross-platform, accessible and professional.
Flexible Voter Authentication
Voting passwords are generated for each eligible voter and distributed by email or postal letter. Or, Simply Voting integrates with your existing authentication method for a single sign-on solution.
Flexible Ballot Questions
The online voting system supports many types of voting rules and ballot questions including multiple choice, write-ins, and preferential. Attach photos and descriptions to each candidate and add comment boxes to collect feedback from voters.
Overlapping Elections
You can run several elections independently of each other, even simultaneously. If someone is eligible to vote in multiple ballots they will be given the opportunity to vote in each one.
Segmentation of Voters
We provide a system to restrict any question on the ballot to a segment of your eligible voters.
Weighted Votes
For shareholder elections or similar situations, the number of shares or vote weight may be specified for each eligible voter. Election results tally the total vote weights exercised for each option.
