Voting at Club Meetings Clubs can use these methods to hold votes at meetings, without requiring a change to their bylaws:
Zoom Meeting Using Yes/No Zoom Feature
Zoom Meeting Using Zoom Polling Feature
Email/Zoom Meeting using voting.demclubs.org
So far, we have setup voting.demclubs.org accounts for the following clubs:
DEMCCO
Democratic Club of 92127
Democratic Woman’s Club
Fallbrook Democratic Club
Point Loma Democratic Club
San Marcos Democratic Club
voting.demclubs.org is freely available to all Democratic Clubs in San Diego County and can be used for Email/Zoom Meeting voting. If you’d like an account please email clubs@sddemocrats.org or message us on Slack or Discourse .
The club sends each member an email with a specific link that allows them to vote, and only vote once. The club can tell if the member has voted, but not how they voted.(Non-anonymized voting is also supported, if required.)
voting.demclubs.org supports Ranked Choice Voting reducing the need for multiple rounds of voting, and enables members who can’t attend the meeting to vote ahead of the meeting.
If two or more members share an email address, separate links can be sent for each voting member.
After notice has been given of an endorsement meeting clubs can send out a voting.demclubs.org link to those members who are qualified to vote, based on the club’s bylaws for a member in good standing. The link in the email can enables members to vote either before or during the endorsement meeting.
After voting is closed, the results can be esily downloaded and shared with campaign observers and independent auditors to make sure the ballots are tallied correctly.
Results can be displayed quickly with graphics and percentages clearly displayed. Clubs can also apply their own rules for thresholds and run-offs between the highest vote getters.
The underlying software (limesurvey.org ) is open source, transparent and publicly accessible.
Next meeting Peer-to-peer texting, with Katie Meyer , former Area Field Director at Bernie Sanders For President
