How Can Modern Technology Help Your Election Process?

Incorporating modern technology into an election system can significantly enhance the process while providing additional benefits. Let’s discuss some unique benefits of modern electoral tools, as well as five specific upgrades you can implement to improve your next election.

Benefits of Using Modern Technology to Power Elections

Modern election tools, including digital and hybrid voting systems, offer powerful benefits:

• Improved efficiency: The right election tools and software can significantly improve the electoral timeline. A fully digital system can provide immediate access to the election results.
• Reduced costs: Traditional electoral systems incur numerous related costs, ranging from printing ballots to hiring large numbers of personnel to ensure a fair and efficient election. Technology-driven systems reduce the workload and expenses.
• Better accessibility: With easier, more convenient voting systems comes increased accessibility. From users in remote areas to those with visual or physical impairments, modern technology makes voting accessible to more people than ever.
• Enhanced security: The incorporation of next-gen encryption, voter authentication tools, and auditing capabilities makes technology-driven, technology-assisted systems less susceptible to security breaches.
• Greater transparency: Digital voting systems and other technological advances enable the transparent auditing of the entire electoral process, from ballot collection to tabulation.

5 Technology Upgrades for Your Next Election

As a leading entity in the private election space, Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS) has access to a diverse range of technological tools that enhance the election process. Here are some that you can use in your next election.

1. Embedded Login Links

With online elections, voters can easily lose or forget their login credentials. Eliminate this potential mishap by using embedded auto-login links. Incorporating these links into the election invitation email and any reminders will allow users to log in easily.

Since the login link automatically authenticates the user, it sends the user directly to the online voting system. Users can access the voting system directly from their emails or text messages, so they can vote from anywhere with an internet connection. When you remove the login credentials from the equation, voting becomes less complex and more accessible.

2. Election Analytics

Data from past elections can provide valuable information. Election analytics tools enable you to better understand your members, their preferences, and how to engage with them effectively.

3. QR Codes

QR codes are another way to make voting easier and more convenient. Voters can access the voting platform easily by scanning the QR code printed on campaign materials.

4. Single Sign-On

As with embedded login links, single sign-on technology eliminates the need to remember login details. It transforms your organization’s website into an online election portal and securely authenticates eligible voters instantly.

5. Participation Reminders

Members are more likely to vote if they receive election reminders. You can and should send these reminders in multiple formats, including letters, postcards, emails, and social media.
