When we say DirectVote is your full-service solution, we mean it. Different organizations have different audiences with different voting preferences.

Online elections provide easier, more convenient voting methods for organizations who rely on online devices as a form of communication to engage their members from a distance.
Onsite elections play an important role in many organizations’ annual meetings, providing members with another easy, direct way to cast their votes.
Hybrid elections give voters multiple options to vote either by mail, online, onsite or by phone, increasing convenience and participation by offering flexibility within your election process.
Mobile phone voting systems (touch-tone telephone voting, or TTV) allow organizations to use mobile phones or landlines to dial in and use automated responses to cast their votes. We also offer a QR code voting system option, which creates an online and mail-in voting hybrid system. QR codes can be printed on ballots, proxies, or letter signs which will maximize exposure. Then, voters can scan the code with their phones and be brought to your election website.
Mailed ballots is a time-tested process that ensures you are reaching all demographics of your membership without distancing those less comfortable with online options.
