Run board elections, membership votes, and policy decisions online. Reach members nationwide, boost participation, and deliver professional-grade results your leadership can trust.
Your members joined for the professional value — not to wrestle with paper ballots or attend a meeting just to cast a vote.
Your membership spans cities, states, even countries. Expecting them to vote in person or mail back a ballot means single-digit participation rates and elections that barely represent the membership.
Low election turnout signals disengagement. When fewer members vote, the board's legitimacy suffers and it becomes harder to drive policy changes, approve budgets, or claim a real mandate.
Your executive director and staff shouldn't be printing ballots, stuffing envelopes, or hand-counting votes. That's time taken away from member services, events, and advocacy.
ElectionChamp handles the entire process — setup, voting, reminders, counting, and documentation — so your staff can focus on what members actually value.

Yes, for the vast majority of professional associations. Most association bylaws either already permit electronic voting or can be amended to allow it. ElectionChamp provides encrypted ballots, unique voter keys, anonymous voting, and a complete audit trail — often exceeding the governance standards of paper-based methods. We recommend reviewing your bylaws and consulting your organization's legal counsel if you're unsure.
Absolutely. Members receive their voting link via email or SMS and can vote from any device with an internet connection, anywhere in the world. The platform supports multi-language ballots, so members can vote in their preferred language. Time zone differences don't matter — members vote at their convenience during the voting window you set.
Yes. You can create separate elections for each chapter, division, or region — each with its own voter list, ballot, and results. Alternatively, you can run a single election with chapter-specific ballot items. Your account can manage as many elections as you need.
Yes. Each candidate listing can include a name, title, biographical statement, and professional credentials. This gives members the information they need to make informed choices, right on the ballot itself — no separate PDF or website to reference.
You upload your current membership directory — names and email addresses — and ElectionChamp generates a unique 16-digit voter key for each member. Only people on your approved voter list receive a voting link. Each key can only be used once. You control exactly who is eligible, and you can update the list right up until voting begins.
Yes. Election results, participation reports, and audit logs are all exportable in CSV and PDF formats. These provide the governance documentation your board, members, and accrediting bodies may require — professional-grade records of who participated, how votes were counted, and what the outcomes were.
For a 10,000-member association, a single election costs approximately $500 ($10 base + $0.05 × 9,800 members above 200). Compare that to the cost of printing and mailing 10,000 paper ballots — plus the staff time to process them. Contact us for volume pricing if you run multiple elections per year.
Yes. Our managed elections service means our team handles everything — setup, voter list upload, ballot configuration, launch, monitoring, and result delivery. You approve the ballot and we handle the rest. This is popular with associations that want to completely offload election logistics from their staff. Learn more about managed elections.
