Run officer elections, contract ratifications, and strike votes online. Encrypted, anonymous, and auditable — so every member's voice is counted and every result is defensible.
When your members' livelihoods are at stake, the voting process has to be bulletproof. Paper-based methods leave too many gaps.
Paper ballots are easy to challenge. Without a clear, timestamped audit trail, a disputed election can delay contracts, undermine leadership, and fracture member confidence.
Members work different shifts, different sites, different cities. Expecting everyone to vote at a single location on a single day means most members simply don't participate.
Printing, distributing, collecting, hand-counting — the logistics of a mail-in or in-person vote eat up weeks of staff time and delay results that members are waiting on.
ElectionChamp handles the entire election — setup, voting, reminders, counting, and audit documentation — so your leadership can focus on representing members.

For most internal union elections and ratification votes, yes. Many unions already use electronic voting for officer elections, contract ratifications, strike authorizations, and bylaw amendments. ElectionChamp provides encrypted ballots, unique voter keys, anonymous voting, and a complete audit trail — often exceeding the standards of paper-based methods. Note: NLRB-supervised representation elections have separate rules. We recommend confirming with your union's legal counsel for specific regulatory requirements.
Only the election administrator (your union's designated organizer) has access to election results and participation data. Ballots are encrypted with AES-256 and anonymous — no one, including ElectionChamp, can see how individual members voted. Your election data belongs to your union.
Absolutely. That's one of the biggest advantages of online voting. Members receive their unique voting link via email or SMS and can vote from any device — phone, tablet, or computer — at any time during the voting window. Whether they're on day shift, night shift, or at a remote worksite, every member has equal access to the ballot.
Instantly. The moment your voting window closes, results are calculated automatically — no hand-counting, no delays. You can share results with your membership immediately. For time-sensitive votes like strike authorizations, you can set a short voting window (even 24 hours) and have verified results the moment it closes.
Yes. A single election can include contract ratification votes, officer elections, bylaw amendments, dues votes, and member surveys all on the same ballot. Members see and vote on everything in one session. Results are calculated separately for each item.
ElectionChamp supports SMS notifications in addition to email — members can receive their voting link via text message. For members without email or a phone number on file, you can generate printable voter notices with unique voting keys for in-person or mail distribution. A union representative can also enter a vote on behalf of a member using their unique key at a designated voting station.
ElectionChamp is dramatically cheaper than most alternatives. For a union with 2,000 members, a single election costs approximately $100 ($10 base + $0.05 × 1,800 members above 200). For a 5,000-member union, approximately $250. No monthly fees, no subscriptions — you only pay when you run an election. Contact us for volume pricing if you run frequent elections or represent multiple locals.
Yes, exactly. The election administrator can see participation data — who has voted and who hasn't — which is useful for targeted reminders and quorum tracking. But the actual ballot choices are anonymous and encrypted. No one can connect a specific vote to a specific member. This is by design and cannot be overridden.
Set up in minutes. Free for up to 20 voters. No credit card required.
