ElectionChamp
Online Voting for Nonprofits & Charities
Run board elections, officer votes, and membership decisions online. Secure, transparent, and affordable, so you can focus your budget on your mission, not on managing elections.
Nonprofit Elections Shouldn't Drain Your Resources
If your organization has ever struggled with low voter turnout, confusing ballots, or spending more time on election logistics than your actual mission, there's a better way.
Tight Budgets, Expensive Tools
Every dollar matters when you're donor-funded. Many election platforms charge hundreds per vote, money that should be going to the people and programs you serve.
Low Member Participation
Members are spread across the country. Asking them to mail in a ballot or attend a physical meeting means most won't participate, making it hard to reach quorum or get genuine representation.
Volunteer Time Wasted on Logistics
Printing ballots, counting votes, chasing responses. Election logistics eat up hours of volunteer time that could be spent on programs, fundraising, or community engagement.
Your mission deserves better.
ElectionChamp handles the voting, counting and documentation, and reminders take one click, so your team can stay focused on what matters.

Set up your nonprofit election in 5 steps
No software to install. Voters need no account. Most organizers finish in about 10 minutes.
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 or a bylaw change.
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.

Nonprofit Voting Questions
In most cases, yes. Most states allow electronic voting for nonprofit organizations, particularly when your bylaws don't explicitly prohibit it. ElectionChamp provides encrypted ballots, unique voter keys and a complete audit trail. We recommend reviewing your bylaws and consulting your organization's legal counsel if you're unsure.
You paste or upload your membership list. When you launch, ElectionChamp makes a unique 16-character voter key for each member. Only people on your list get a voting link, and each key works once, so nobody can vote twice. You control exactly who is eligible.
Absolutely. A single election can include board member votes, officer elections, bylaw amendments, budget approvals, and member surveys all on the same ballot. Members see and vote on everything in one session. Results are calculated separately for each item.
Our pricing is already designed to be nonprofit-friendly: free for up to 20 voters, and just $10 for up to 200 voters. For organizations running frequent elections or with large membership bases, contact us to discuss volume pricing options.
That's exactly what ElectionChamp is built for. Members receive their voting link via email or SMS and can vote from any device (phone, tablet, or computer) from anywhere in the world. No need to attend a physical meeting or mail anything back. This is why organizations using online voting typically see dramatically higher participation than in-person or mail-in methods.
Yes. Election results export as CSV, and the audit log can be exported too. Together they give funders, auditors and regulators the records they may ask for: who took part, a timestamped audit trail of the vote, and the outcomes.
No. Ballots are anonymous: no one, including the board or ElectionChamp, can see how any individual voted. The board can see who has participated (useful for quorum tracking), but the actual votes are encrypted and separated from voter identity. This is by design and cannot be overridden.
Every feature. The free plan for up to 20 voters includes encryption, email and text invitations, instant results, the audit trail and every voting method. It's not a limited trial. The only difference is how many reminders you can send: 1 on a free election, up to 5 on a paid one. For organizations with more than 20 members, pricing starts at $10 for up to 200 voters.
