“eBallot was certainly the best move that we could have possibly made in bringing online voting to our members. You are head and shoulders above your competition.”

Challenges |
|
|
| Voter participation was steadily declining and several members suggested that SEVRAR transition from paper ballots to online balloting. Rather than build their own online voting solution, the association searched for a reliable online voting service provider that could streamline their voting process and offer members convenient access to ballots. |

Solutions |
|
|
| To ease the transition to online voting, SEVRAR ran a hybrid election. Members had the option to either mail in a paper ballot or vote online via eBallot. SEVRAR used eBallot’s sophisticated offline vote administration tools to track paper ballots and integrate paper ballot data with the online voting results. eBallot’s security tools also enabled SEVRAR to manage access to the online ballot, ensuring that voters who submitted paper ballots were unable to vote a second time online. |

|
Impact |
|
|
| Over half of the voters cast their ballots online and overall turnout saw a sharp increase. Based on the popularity of online voting and the savings from reduced printing and postage charges SEVRAR plans to run all future elections and votes 100% online. |
