Electronic Voting in Professional Associations

Every association must have a president, vice president, and secretary. Each of these individuals is elected by the members of the association through voting at the general assembly. The main drawbacks of traditional voting are the slow process, the requirement for physical attendance at the general assembly, and the public nature of the voting.

Currently, there are around 60 professional associations operating in the Republic of Croatia. Professional associations are established to promote, coordinate, and represent the interests of specific interest groups. For example, pharmacist associations, craftsman associations, accountant associations, and many others. Every association must have a president, vice president, and secretary. Each of these individuals is elected by the members of the association through voting at the general assembly. The main drawbacks of traditional voting are the slow process, the requirement for physical attendance at the general assembly, and the public nature of the voting.

In addition to the main functions, it is necessary to appoint members of the Executive Board, members of the Ethics Committee, and members of the Advisory Board. Each of these committees is responsible for a part of the association's operations where important issues for the functioning of such an association inevitably arise. Thinking about all the decisions and questions that need to be made, it is necessary to convene a certain meeting or assembly at least once a month. Each such assembly requires time and money. The time that you have used so far to organize the voting process can now be freely spent on other tasks.

From now on, with the new electronic voting system, you can quickly and easily elect your association's president, pose questions, or explore specific topics among your members. You no longer need to be physically present on the assembly day; instead, you can vote at any time and from anywhere. Your members will appreciate the convenience of participating from their city or location.

In just a few minutes, compose a ballot and send it to the email addresses of your members. You will enable your association to operate in a much more modern and digitized way.

Voting through the Fairvotes application is completely secure and straightforward. The system is designed to use dual identification to prevent situations where someone else might vote on your behalf. After receiving an email with a voting link, the system will automatically request a PIN, which you will receive via SMS on your mobile device.

Another advantage of this voting method is the impossibility of casting duplicate votes, meaning that the voting process is entirely transparent. The Fairvotes application can be fully customized to your needs. You can choose what to adapt in the application, and the final cost depends on the additional services and the number of voters. However, if you have up to 20 members in your association, the voting is entirely free, and you can already conduct your elections.
