Your Association or Union relies on the
input of your members for contract ratification or election of
officers. Getting a timely and accurate voting result can be a
costly and labor intensive effort. The costs associated with ballot
development, printing and mailing to put that ballot in the
hands of members can run into the thousands of dollars as well
as hundreds of manhours.
Online voting provides an
efficient and secure mechanism that is easy for your
members to use. It also provides timely voting results
while maintaining a secret ballot.
Utilization of
online member voting provides a timely, efficient and secure method by which
you can conduct contract
ratification voting, M.O.U voting, voting for site representative and
certified member surveys.

and other voting events varies but could exceed $4700.00 per voting event and

-
