The Tour: A Complete Online Election in 3 Steps
Step 1: Create 
- Name your election
- Choose a start date
- Choose an election type
- Design your ballot: add positions, candidates and questions
- To help voters choose, add information on the ballot about candidates or link back to your
own website - Setup voting lists: voters can vote by email, printed ballots or mail them keys.
We offer four types of elections:
- Plurality Voting
Choose 1 or more candidates and the candidate(s) with the most votes wins - Referendum
Voters can approve motions or select answers to questions
- Preferential Voting
Rank each candidate for each position - Approval Voting
Approve or disapprove each candidate
Step 2: Vote
- Unique keys are generated for each voter and sent out by email
- If a ballot doesn't reach the voter (bounced), electionbuddy will outline the address, why it occurred, and give you the option to resend the ballot.
- Each voter casts their ballot anonymously
- Optionally download a document (PDF) that allows you to print ballots
We make sure ballots reach your voters:
Ballots are verified using DomainKeys (DKIM) and the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) to
prevent ballots from being marked as spam.

Step 3: Watch
- Watch in real-time as your voters cast their ballots and your election results are tallied
- You can check on the status of the ballots as they are sent, and resend any ballots that "bounced" (invalid or changed email addresses)
- Allow voters to see election results by turning on the 'Public URL' option
