I'm able to communicate and resolve most issues that come up. They were very helpful during a couple of recent elections when (a) the voter weight somehow didn't get transmitted, and (b) the client left out numerous voters. > > **Cons**: They still make website changes that cause disruption in the setup process. I can't find my previous chat to document so have to make sure I save it manually. There's a security exposure that hasn't been fixed. Long term; they may need to correct the parliamentary terminology that is used. > > Very good. Their 5 voter free demonstration feature is invaluable for educating prospective users. They have weighted precision where other vendors fall short. They can support a true secret ballot if their system is configured with absolutely no link between the access key and the particular voter. That meets the Robert's Rules' standard. ----- ### "Great product made for a great election for our 1st time\!" — 5.0/5 > **Aimee** | *23 September 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Can't pick just one\! The ease of setting up our ballot. The step by step guide was so helpful. It walked me through how to do everything exactly the way I needed it. Also liked the confidentiality of the votes. This was very important to our community. Also loved the fact that it tallied all the votes for us and gave a very detailed summary. > > **Cons**: That when we set up to vote for four candidates and if someone didn't want to vote for all four candidates and only write it two candidates that they still had to have four candidates. It didn't explain that clearly that there would have to be four selected no matter what. > > The experience was great. It was easy. Very grateful for the opportunity to run a few sample elections with a small test group. We learned a lot with our first election. Loved being able to introduce electronic voting to our community. It made our election so much easier and counting votes so smooth. Thankful for your product\! ----- ### "No integrity, not in the us in Canada" — 1.0/5 > **Rodney** | *14 September 2024* | Alternative Dispute Resolution | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing it says it has a garuntee on integrity . Thats not true . Theybhave to have administrators ok toneven dona integrity. So if the administrator is bad then sonis this software > > **Cons**: Can not garuntee integrity, its a lien8n ky opinion > > No help at all. They tell different stories if younask about the garunteed integrity there is no real.answer or they change the subject plus they are not in the usa ----- ### "Wave of the future in voting" — 5.0/5 > **Kate** | *21 January 2026* | Public Safety | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service\!\! Everyone is so helpful and they are real humans and not just bots. I was able to get my election up and running\! > > **Cons**: Not many cons- it would be nice to have SMS confirmation text when someone votes via text. I have many people who I only have their sms so they will not receive a confirmation in their email > > I love this platform. In 2024 we did our first electronic ballot and we had over 62% participation versus mail in ballots were only 15% ----- ### "Elections-a-breeze" — 5.0/5 > **Anika** | *1 October 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This was easy to load for the different categories we had-some candidates were to be confirmed and some were to vote between 2 candidates. It's also a very economical platform and the voters liked it too > > **Cons**: I had to learn the language or definitions of the types of categories and voting methods and the correct one to use for each section > > This is an easy and secure process with which to work. Even from year to year, it was easy to remember the "how-tos" ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/344617/electionbuddy?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/344617/electionbuddy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
