What it is

SnapBallot is a self-service online voting platform for member organizations. Administrators can create ballots, invite voters, track participation, and view results for board elections, bylaw amendments, contract ratifications, special votes, referendums, and run-offs. Vote weighting can reflect ownership, membership class, proxy assignments, or other organizational rules. Administrators can set minimum and maximum voting requirements for ballot items. Ballots are anonymous in a specific sense: administrators can see who voted, but not individual selections. Reports include daily participation, voter logs, and email recaps. Each election includes one invitation email and two reminders; more reminders cost extra. The maker describes end-to-end encryption, single-use magic-link authentication, and audit trails, and says the platform runs on Microsoft Azure. It works on Android, iOS, and the web. The free election plan covers up to 15 voters; paid elections start at $49 for 16–250 voters. Voters who need paper ballots or lack email must be handled separately, with their results combined afterward.
