AssociationVoting vs VoteAlly

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.

VoteAlly provides online voting for HOAs, condo associations, nonprofits, boards, unions, co-ops and other membership organizations. Administrators can run a Live Meeting session by opening and closing questions individually, or schedule questions to open at a configured time. Voters receive personalized passwordless email links and can vote from a phone, tablet or computer without an app or account. Ballots include weighted voting, motion pass rules, multi-candidate and cumulative elections, randomized candidate order, and candidate profiles with photos and bios. Administrators can export participation records, final tallies and anonymous ballots, and search an administrative action log. VoteAlly says data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256, with ballot choices additionally encrypted at the application layer. It describes its hosting as SOC 2 Type II compliant infrastructure with DDoS mitigation and web application firewalls. Available on Android, iOS and the web, VoteAlly has a forever-free plan limited to 50 eligible voters per session, two active sessions and one admin seat. Pro Association costs $220 a year and permits 120 voters per session, five active sessions and two admin seats.
