NO HANGING CHADS HERE By Ruth Ingoldsby, CMCA®, EBP We’ve all heard the stories, or even told them, about the annual meeting that for years hasn’t made quorum. It’s frustrating for all involved, but now with the implementation of electronic voting, the stories are changing to “we received quorum weeks before the actual meeting!” If you haven’t thought about electronic/online voting yet, you may want to give it some consideration as it has very few downsides and many upsides, including the following:
Email invitations and reminder messages sent directly to owners with voting links make voting online easy and efficient to use from anywhere with any device. And automatic, computer, tabulation means no error prone manual counting at the meeting. In this day when everyone seems to be face down into their phone, tablet, or computer using electronic voting to help make your next vote or meeting a success just makes sense.
