Run student government, faculty senate, and campus referenda with single-sign-on through your existing credentials, ballots matched to each voter's college and class year, and results your institution can certify.

Why Do Campus Elections Struggle to Reach Students?

eBallot is an online voting platform that colleges and universities use to run student government elections, faculty senate elections, and campus referenda. The difficulty on a campus is rarely the ballot itself. It is reaching a population that is large, distributed across schools and programs, and under no obligation to participate. Eligibility must align with each voter's college, class year, or academic status. Election administrators frequently change from one year to the next. And outcomes that determine student fees or governance seats must remain defensible if they are questioned.

Low Turnout

Student elections often close with a small fraction of campus voting

Logins Lose Voters

Students abandon a ballot that requires creating a new account

Eligibility is Complex

Colleges, class years, and programs each require their own ballot

Admins Change Yearly

Whoever runs next year's election is often new to the process
