Global Voting Challenges
Having a geographically-scattered membership can make it difficult to update mailing addresses or gather members together. It also adds problems to a typical voting process such as:
-
Traditional voting methods are more complex and time-consuming
-
Segmenting members into groups so they vote only on ballots relevant to them
-
Creating ballots for individual members with their own candidates, or questions
Additional Voting Needs
Besides elections for the overall membership, many bodies have smaller categories based on specializations, industries, and practices. Typical considerations include:
-
Members who need to make decisions on their own specific candidates or questions
-
Assigning the correct ballot to voters of the right segments
-
Spliting voters into multiple groups, while allowing them to vote as a whole
Paper & Digital Voting Concerns
Major organizations often have their own existing voting setup, with guidelines that can complicate voting. Some issues with mixed voting methods are:
-
Absentees or certain members that insist on paper ballots
-
Manually counting, recounting, and auditing paper votes
-
Making sure both paper and electronic votes are integrated as a whole, instead of two disjointed tabulations
