What Makes a Credit Union

Election Different?

 

eBallot is an online voting platform that credit unions use to run board of directors elections, annual meeting votes, and member referenda. Two things set these elections apart from almost any other. Every member holds one vote regardless of how many shares they hold, so the outcome depends entirely on member participation rather than balance size. And the list of eligible voters is not a mailing list. It is member financial data, held by a regulated institution under an obligation to protect it. That makes the choice of election vendor a security decision as much as an administrative one.

 

The Challenges of Credit Union Elections

The problems that make a member election harder than a standard vote

Member Data Is Regulated

Your voter list is protected member information, not a mailing list

Bylaws are enforceable

The FCU Bylaws are part of NCUA regulation, not internal guidance

Turnout Runs Low

Most Members never engage with the annual election at all

Notice Timing Is Fixed

Ballots and notices must reach members well before the meeting

Member Data Handled to a Financial Institution Standard

eBallot addresses each of these challenges directly. Your member list is handled on independently audited infrastructure, and the election itself is configured to follow the procedures your bylaws set.

  • Member data encrypted and hosted on SOC certified infrastructure in the United States

  • One member, one vote, applied regardless of the number of shares held

  • Electronic and mailed ballots combined, so members vote the way they prefer

  • Notice of balloting scheduled to meet the timing your bylaws require

  • Email and SMS reminders to lift participation across the membership

  • Certified results and a complete audit trail available to your tellers and examiners
