Political parties are an integral part of any modern democratic state. According to the Registry's data from 2019, there are currently 166 active political parties in the Republic of Croatia, with 21 being parliamentary parties and 145 non-parliamentary parties. Parliamentary parties are undoubtedly larger and more attractive than non-parliamentary parties.

In the Republic of Croatia, the largest number of members belongs to HDZ, with around 220,000 members, followed by the SDP with about 38,000 members. The other 17 parties also have significant numbers of members. This raises the question of how to simplify, expedite, and reduce the costs of organizing intra-party elections.

To organize voting within political parties, it is necessary to invite all members to go to polling stations and cast their votes. All party members have the right to exercise their voting rights. When it comes to organization, it also requires the selection of an election commission. Election commissions are temporary bodies that directly conduct elections at the polling station, supervise the voting process, ensure its regularity, and guarantee the secrecy of the vote to each voter directly at the polling station. The whole process requires significant organization, the renting of specific polling places, and a number of people who will be present and ensure all the above. As the party has more members, the organization's costs proportionally increase.

The new electronic voting system allows your party to create its ballot in just a few minutes. After composing it, you can send an invitation for voting to the list of members. The final step is to announce the election, and from that moment, you can already track the results of electronic voting, which is entirely anonymous.

This means that no one will have access to who voted and for whom. The elections you want to conduct are entirely transparent, meaning that each member invited to vote can only cast one vote. Once the vote is recorded, the voter no longer has the option to vote again.

Fairvotes adapts to your needs and requirements. Prices are adjusted depending on the number of your voters, and you can choose the options you want. Additionally, by using Fairvotes, your party also becomes socially responsible, as you no longer need to print a large number of ballots. Nature and forests will surely thank you!
