Reach Every Voter, Boost Turnout
Email and SMS invitations go out automatically when voting opens, one-click reminders reach everyone who hasn't voted, and every voter sees a confirmation when their ballot is recorded.
Three Ways to Reach Your Voters
Different voters respond to different channels. Use one, two, or all three to maximize participation.
Email Notifications
The primary channel for most elections. Voting invitations, secure links and reminders delivered straight to the voter's inbox.
Included on every planSMS Text Messages
Reach voters who don't check email often. Text messages have near-instant open rates and are ideal for time-sensitive reminders or last-day-to-vote alerts.
Included on every planMailed Notice Support
Some organizations require mailed notices by law or bylaws. Turn on Hand out keys in Start, then download every voter's key from your dashboard's Voters tab after launch and print it on your own notices.
Included on every planWhat Gets Sent and When
Invitations go out automatically when voting opens. Reminders and results are one click each, whenever you choose.
Voting Invitation
Every voter gets an email, a text message or both, with the election details and a personal voting link. The key is built into the link, so one tap opens the ballot. If you open voting with Now, invitations go out right after launch.
One-Click Reminders to Non-Voters
Click Send reminder to N on your dashboard and every voter who hasn't voted gets their invitation again, by email and SMS. People who've already voted never get one. Free elections include 1 reminder; paid elections up to 5, at most one a day.
A Final Push
Save a reminder for the last day. Send it when you choose, and it reaches only the voters who still haven't voted: a last push that often lifts turnout before the deadline.
Vote Confirmation
As soon as a ballot is recorded, the voter sees a confirmation page with their key and the time, which they can print or save for peace of mind that their vote counted.
Results Notification
When voting closes, the results appear on your Results tab. Click Send results to members there to email a link to them to every voter with an email address and text it to every voter with a mobile number, or share them your own way.
Reminders That Only Reach Non-Voters
This is the feature that drives turnout. Instead of tracking who hasn't voted and sending individual follow-ups, click Send reminder to N: the system knows exactly who hasn't voted and reminds only those people, by email and SMS.
Voters who've already cast their ballot are never sent a reminder. No annoying double-messages. No wasted communication.
Smart Reminders
Only non-voters receive follow-ups
Customizable Notification Templates
Make every notification speak for your organization. Write the invitation in your own words, use your organization's and election's names, and control what information voters see.
Professional, branded communications build voter trust and increase the likelihood that people actually open and act on your election notifications.

Know Exactly What's Happening
Your election dashboard shows when the email and text invitations went out, how many voters have voted, and turnout as it happens. If a voter says they never got their link, resend it from the Voters tab with one click: same key, same link.

Notification Questions
Yes. Add mobile numbers to your voter list and ElectionChamp texts each voter a unique ballot link by SMS. Texting is included on every plan with no per-message fee, and you can text some voters, email others, and hand printed keys to the rest in the same election.
Yes. Email and SMS notifications are included on every plan, including the free tier for up to 20 voters. There are no add-on charges for notification delivery.
No. Reminders are only sent to voters who haven't cast their ballot yet. The system automatically tracks who has voted and excludes them from all follow-up reminders. This ensures voters aren't annoyed by unnecessary messages after they've already participated.
Yes. On the Invitations step, the email and text message are written for you, and you can change the wording. Insert details such as the election name, deadline or your email with one click. The subject line names your election, and replies come to you. The preview shows the real email on a phone, and Email me a test sends it to your own inbox.
Check your dashboard to confirm the invitations went out, and suggest the voter check spam/junk folders. You can resend their invitation from the Voters tab (it's the same key and link), or give the voter their voting link and key directly.
Yes. If you have both email addresses and phone numbers for your voters, you can send notifications through both channels. This dual-channel approach maximizes the chance that every voter sees the notification and participates.
As many as you send: 1 on a free election and up to 5 on a paid one, at most one a day. Click Send reminder to N on your dashboard (N is how many members it reaches) whenever you want a push; each reminder goes only to voters who haven't voted yet.
