The Tour: A Complete Online Election in 3 Steps
Step 1: Setup 
- Choose an election name, start date and an election type
- Design your ballot: add positions, candidates and questions
- To help voters choose, add candidate information to the ballot
- Setup voting lists: voters can vote by email, printed ballots or mail them keys
- Assign one or multiple votes per ballot (example)
- Allow voters to write-in their own candidates (example)
We offer four types of elections and announcements:
- 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 - Election announcement and call for nominations
Announce the election date, the positions and compile candidate nominations
- 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:
To prevent ballots from being marked as spam, we verify using DomainKeys and the Sender Policy Framework
Add email addresses from excel, your email program, contact manager or CRM.

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
