ElectionChamp
Run Your Online Election in Minutes, Not Months
ElectionChamp is the affordable, secure online voting and balloting platform that handles your entire election, from ballot setup to real-time results, so you can focus on running your organization.
Running Elections the Old Way
Is Costing You Time, Money & Participation
If you're still using paper ballots, manual counting, or struggling with low voter turnout, you're not alone. Most organizations face the same problems.
Paper Ballots Are a Nightmare
Printing costs, postage fees, venue rentals, and staff overtime just to count votes. You pay for all of it again at every election. And then there are the errors.
Voters Don't Show Up
In-person voting means scheduling conflicts, travel barriers, and apathy. Many organizations struggle to hit quorum. When only 15% of members vote, decisions lack legitimacy.
Counting Takes Forever
Manual counting is slow, error-prone, and hard to audit. Results take days or weeks instead of seconds. And disputes? They drag on even longer without a clear paper trail.
ElectionChamp eliminates all of this. Set up your election in minutes, reach every voter on any device, and get results instantly, with AES-256 encryption and a full audit trail.

Start
Name your election, pick when voting opens and closes, and add your logo. Choose how voters get their key: by email, by text message or handed out.
Ballot
Add each question or position and its candidates or options. Choose how members vote, and check the live preview of what they will see. Board seats, officers, a bylaw change or a member survey.
Voters
Paste your member list from a spreadsheet or upload a CSV. Each voter gets a private key. Add a weight column if some votes count more.
Invitations
The email and text message are written for you. Change the wording if you like, and email yourself a test.
Launch
Check the summary and launch. Up to 20 voters is free, and larger elections pay once, at launch.
After Launch
Members vote from any device. Watch turnout, send a reminder to those who haven't voted, and share the results when voting closes.

Support for Every Voting System You Need
Run different ballot types in a single election. ElectionChamp supports the most popular voting methods used by organizations worldwide.
Plurality Voting
Voters choose one or more candidates. Candidates with the most votes win. The simplest and most widely used method for board elections and officer positions.
Ranked Choice Voting
Voters rank candidates in order of preference. Each rank earns points, first choice the most, and the highest total wins (Borda count).
STV (via Excel)
A proportional representation method for multi-seat elections. Surplus votes transfer based on voter preferences, ensuring fair representation across the board.
Approval Voting
For multi-seat elections. Each voter can approve as many candidates as there are seats to fill, and the candidates with the most approvals win. It runs as a Plurality question with more than one winner.
Nominations
Collect write-in nominations from eligible voters. The same name written by several voters is counted together, however it's capitalized. Perfect for the nominating phase.
Motions & Surveys
Vote on motions, resolutions, policy changes, or run member surveys. Support for approve/reject, multiple choice, and open-ended feedback.

Common Questions About ElectionChamp
Yes. Stored data is encrypted with AES-256, every connection uses TLS, and each voter gets a unique 16-character key that works once. Every ballot is secret: it is stored with no voter ID, timestamp or submission order, and it can't be changed once cast. A timestamped audit trail records how the vote ran.
No. Most voters just tap the secure link in their email or SMS. Their unique voter key is embedded in the link, so the ballot opens directly with nothing to type. Voters who were handed a key by the administrator (or if a link ever fails) can instead go to the vote page and enter their 16-character key. Either way, they vote right in their web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. No downloads, no accounts, no friction.
We support plurality (first past the post), ranked choice voting, approval voting, cumulative voting, nominations with write-ins, motions, and surveys. STV is supported through ranked choice ballots plus a free Excel calculator we provide. You can use multiple voting methods on different ballot questions within the same election. Weighted voting (different vote weights per voter) is available on any method.
ElectionChamp is free for elections with up to 20 voters. For up to 200 voters, it's a flat $10 per election. Beyond 200 voters, it's just $0.05 per additional voter. There are no subscriptions, no monthly fees, and no hidden charges. All features are included on every election. You pay once, when you launch. Setup and testing are free.
Yes. Members who get an email or text vote online, and members at a meeting can vote with a printed key you hand out, on their own phone or a device you provide: turn on Hand out keys on the Start step. Every vote cast with a key is counted in the same election, so you get unified results and a complete audit trail. Paper ballots aren't recorded in ElectionChamp, so count any of those separately.
We offer managed election services. Our team handles everything: setup, voter communication, monitoring, and oversight. You approve the ballot and receive the results. Contact us to learn more about our managed election options.
You won't be charged. You can create, edit and preview your election as often as you like for free. You pay only when you press Launch election, and only if it has more than 20 voters.
