Board of Directors

Election Consulting Group services include Board of Directors style Elections for Membership, Committee Members and Office Bearers.  A common method of voting is by Postal Ballot, however, more organisations are considering including electronic voting as an option for example; to increase participation and engage younger voters, reduce reliance upon paper, reduce manual processes and provide results earlier. We also provided a variety of counting methods; First Past the Post, Preferential, Optional Preferential with different Quota’s and fractional (or none) counting of exhausted votes and weighted voting. 

Regardless of the method of voting chosen, all Elections are managed with strict adherence to business rules; our processes are auditable, transparent,  secure and able to withstand scrutiny.
