Online Election Secure Web Framework

At SBS we recognize that the security of your online election data is a major concern. You assume that member votes will be counted correctly and that personal data will be protected. If something should go wrong, your members’ trust in the web election process could be in jeopardy.

When managing your election, or any project involving member data, it is important to ensure security in every phase of the process.

A quick test

An easy way to see if your election utilizes the most up-to-date and secure web voting methods is to simply check the URL address of your election. The URL address is the Uniform Resource Locator (or web address) of your online election. See area highlighted in yellow below:

To ensure that your election is operating on the most secure web framework available, check to see that the URL address ends with .aspx.

Example: https://www.directvote.net/Directvote71/login.aspx

What is .aspx?
.aspx stands for Active Server Page Framework. This is a web framework that allows developers to:

• Build dynamic web pages that update automatically
• Create applications on web pages that are safe and secure
• Easily produce submission forms and client authentication for accurate data capture and efficient information management

Why is .aspx so important?
The .ASPX extension means that your web election is built on a fast, robust and secure web framework. Your login process is protected and your web voting application runs faster. If your URL address does end in .aspx, you know that your election partner has invested resources to develop the most current web-voting tool for your organization and is committed to the integrity and security of your election. If your URL address doesn’t end in .aspx, challenge your current provider or developer to supply an online election that assures voter privacy and protects election data.
