Can ballots be weighted by number of shares?

Yes. Each ballot is matched automatically to that shareholder's equity, across as many resolutions as your agenda requires.

Can shareholders who cannot attend still vote?

Yes. Shareholders vote remotely from any device, or appoint a proxy to vote on their behalf within the platform.

Can we track quorum against shares outstanding?

Yes. Quorum is measured live as a percentage of shares, not as a headcount.

How do you keep results confidential when weights are unique?

Turnout is tracked without revealing individual votes, and results are reported so that a distinctive stake does not expose how that shareholder voted.

Can different classes of stocks carry different voting rights?

Yes. Classes, units, and tiers are configured up front and counted correctly on the same ballot.

Can we run the vote during our annual general meeting?

Yes. Voting can run before, during, or after the meeting, in person or virtual.

Legal Services

Voting Software for Law Firms

Run partner elections, admissions, and firm wide approvals with an impartial outside administrators, ballots weighted to each partner's equity, and results your firm can stand behind.

Why Do Law Firms Use an Outside Election Administrator?

eBallot is an online voting platform that law firms use to run partner elections, admissions votes, and partnership agreement amendments as an impartial third party. The reason firms bring in an outsider is straightforward. When your own administrator counts ballots cast about the people they report to, even a clean result can invite questions. Add equity weighting, a supermajority threshold written into the partnership agreement, and partners spread across offices and time zones, and a vote that should take a week becomes a month of chasing paper.

Votes Aren't Equal
