  • The vote’s in your hands

    Our secure handheld voting solution allows eligible participants to vote in person or remotely in real-time. It allows organisations to conduct online meetings with secure live voting (in-person, remote or hybrid) with real-time results, a presentation feature and simple functionality offering a user-friendly experience.

    It doesn’t matter if the participants are in the same room or in different locations, everyone is able to vote and see the results. It’s suitable for any voting process where no proxy or advance voting is used.

    Benefits of handheld voting

    Our virtual handheld voting system supports multiple devices. Attendees can login to the platform directly from the email or SMS link sent to them prior to the meeting on a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. So, voting is possible wherever your attendee may be!

    More benefits include:

    • Secure live voting solution
    • User-friendly device or virtual pad
    • Available as a managed service
    • Issued at registration desk or log on remotely to a pad
    • Up to 10 voting options
    • Anonymous and non-anonymous live voting
    • Near instant results available
    • Voting time determined by the Chair
    • Run voting processes sequentially
    • Withhold or publicise results to the attendees
    • Client branded results presentation
    • User informed of their vote selection
    • Robust platform
    • Voting process Independence

    How Handheld Voting works

    Step 1

    Participants voting remotely are sent a personal invite, with appropriate links, and access credentials/instructions (as an email or text).

    Step 2

    They access the virtual pad and join the client-run virtual meeting broadcast.

    Step 3

    In-person participants will be issued a physical pad at the registration desk.

    Step 4

    When the Chair opens the voting process participants can make their selection on the virtual or physical pad.

    Step 5

    The participant’s voting selection is displayed on the pad once received by the system confirming to the participant their selection.

    Step 6

    Once the Chair closes the vote the system can calculate the results, with the client deciding to ‘withhold’ or ‘publish’ the results after each voting round.

    Security

    Handheld voting gives you the extra function of voter security. No internet connection is needed for the physical devices, which talk directly to our platform using in-room radio signals. This means no possible external threat to the voting process.

    Our online virtual handheld pad solution is based on encrypted communication and can only be accessed using known credentials.

    Those participants who will not be attending in person will, prior to the meeting, receive a code-protected link to access the virtual handheld voting pad.

    Managed Service

    Handheld voting is an ideal hybrid meeting solution.

    We will set up and configure key parts of the voting system ahead of the meeting and undertake a proof check process with the client prior to any aspect going live.

    Where participants arrive for a physical meeting, we will man the registration desk and issue physical handheld voting pads and be on hand to support and run the voting processes.

    We provide support to remote participants voting via the virtual handheld pads via phone and email support.

    We pride ourselves on our personal, consultative approach.

    Whether you need guidance on an upcoming ballot, want to streamline your communications, or just need honest advice, our team is here to help. With a reputation built on trust, service and delivery, we’re more than a just a provider.
