Why Do Association Elections Struggle to Reach Quorum?

eBallot is an online voting platform that membership associations use to run board elections, bylaw amendments, and annual meeting votes. The hard part is rarely building the ballot. It is getting enough members to cast one. Your members are volunteers with day jobs and no obligation to participate, your bylaws set a quorum threshold that has to be met before anything counts, and missing it means running the whole thing again. Most associations come to us with turnout in the single digits. We routinely take them past 25 percent.
