Streamline Your Election With SSO for Online Voting

Single sign-on has become increasingly popular across many types of platforms. SSO technology allows users to log in to one platform using the credentials from another.  A major advantage of this function is that your voters are spared the bother of remembering and entering a set of login credentials in order to access our voting platform. With just a single button click, voters who are already logged into the account used for SSO will be instantly redirected to their ballot.

An online voting option can help to streamline your election, but another set of login credentials adds more hassle to the process. With SSO, your members can enjoy the most user-friendly voting experience.

What is Single Sign-On?

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a way to simplify voting for your members, putting the ballot in a place they are most familiar with: your website. If you are looking for a way to increase response rates, putting your election in a convenient location can pay great dividends. Members already know how to log into your website and won’t have to save or create an additional username and password, which can save time and frustration.

Who would use it to vote?

Any member who is familiar with your website would be a prime candidate to vote with SSO. If you utilize your site for things like paying bills, checking statements or hosting forums or listservs, then anyone who logs into the site can be prompted to vote in your election.

The Benefits of Single Sign-On for Online Voting

Using an SSO function offers three key benefits for your election:

  • Increased participation: When voting is complicated, it turns voters away. Online voting is an excellent way to make voting more accessible, and single sign-on makes it even easier. Rather than creating and remembering a password, your voters can access their online ballot in a couple of clicks. This process makes it easy for every voter to have a voice.
  • Reduced inquiries: Your members will turn to your administrators when voting is complicated. The more confusing the process, the more help desk tickets your administrators need to handle. High volumes of inquiries can put significant strain on your administration and can take away from other critical management tasks during an election. With straightforward SSO, your administrators have the space to focus on high-priority tasks.
  • Happier members: While an easier voting process leads to increased participation, it also ensures the results truly represent your organization and its members. Election results not only bring satisfaction to your members but also serve as a testament to the importance of their voices within your organization.
  • Simplifies voting: Members don’t need to remember another password or even find the URL or a reminder email for the voting site. This simplifies matters for not only the voters, but administrators as well – with less steps for a member to complete in order to vote, help desk and support requests are bound to decrease.
  • Everything in one place: People prefer to have everything available to them at once; the less navigation needed, the better! Utilizing SSO voting can be not only a convenient solution, but also a tool to promote your election. Letting your members know that they can cast their ballot with just a few clicks can help you get voter response rates to really take off.
