In their own words
AssociationVoting
AssociationVoting is an online voting platform for member associations and organizations. It handles board elections, bylaw votes, member approvals, polls, referendums, nominations and proxy voting. Ballots can include candidates, propositions, slate approval, write-ins, or items tailored to districts and other groups. Voting options include First Past the Post and weighted score elections; secret ballots allow anonymous voting, with reports that omit voter identification. Election managers can see ballot counts, ongoing ballots, quorum reports, real-time tallies and an audit summary. Results remain accessible for 30 days after an election, while certified results and audit history are kept for one year from certification. It runs on web, Android and iOS. Single-election pricing is free for 1–25 eligible voters, $99, paid once for 26–125, $199, paid once for 126–500, and $299, paid once for 501–5,000. A free demo is available without a credit card.
SnapBallot
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.
