How the SBS Drive-Thru Voting Process Works


As leaders in developing innovative, secure voting technology, SBS tailors drive-thru voting solutions to fit the needs of each organization. Security, accuracy, and reliability are central to each application, ensuring a user-friendly voting experience that inspires confidence and trust.

We use two proven methods to facilitate seamless drive-thru votes.

1. PIN Method


The PIN model works well in single-location events where all the voting occurs onsite and drive-thru voting is the only available option. This staff-assisted voting process features an anonymous PIN that ensures voter anonymity.

Key features of this method include:

  • Location-specific tracking
  • Instant ballot access after PIN entry
  • Built-in safeguards to prevent double voting
  • Streamlined registration and voting flow

2. QR Code Method

The QR code method is suited to organizations offering early or absentee-style voting. This model features enhanced customization capabilities and integrates with SBS' meeting registration tool to facilitate member tracking.

Features of this drive-thru voting model include:

  • Secure, unique member identification
  • Flexible voting options, where users can use their own device or a provided tablet
  • Real-time synchronization with early voting data to prevent duplicate votes
  • A quick, convenient experience for members
