Eligibility lives in scattered records
Membership numbers, chapter lists, dues status, and exceptions are often checked across spreadsheets and inboxes.
Pour les associations
Association elections members can trust without taking your word for it.
Bring voter registration, eligibility approval, anonymous voting, publication, and verification into one clear governance workflow.
No card needed. Small votes can start on the free tier.
The governance problem
The count is only one part of a credible vote.
An association vote can be simple to count and still difficult to believe. The hard part is showing members that the roll was fair, the ballot stayed private, and the published result matches the record.
The organiser is asked to prove its own result
A result announced as a total gives members no independent way to inspect what happened.
Participation and privacy pull in opposite directions
Members need convenient remote access without creating a record that links a person to a selection.
A governed workflow
From eligible roll to published record
Use the same governed path for a committee election, a contested officer race, or a member resolution.

Defensible benefits
Useful controls, stated without overclaiming.
CharterVote focuses on the parts of association elections that create confidence before, during, and after voting.
Before voting
A roll you can explain
Custom registration fields keep the evidence used for approval beside the member record, while organiser accreditation controls who receives a token.
On the ballot
Real organisational choices
Run several offices in one election, publish candidate statements and photos, set how many choices an office allows, and permit write-ins when your rules require them.
After voting
Evidence members can inspect
A voter can check receipt inclusion, members can inspect the recomputed integrity report, and each winner certificate has its own public verification page.
Une limite clairement énoncée
Strong assurance with an honest boundary
CharterVote can establish that approved members received single-use access and that retained election evidence agrees with the published result. It cannot establish voter intent, the security of a member's device, or conduct outside the platform.
Questions before you choose
Frequently asked questions
Can we approve voters before they receive a ballot?
Yes. Members register with the fields you configure, and an organiser approves eligibility before a single-use voting token is issued.
Can one ballot contain several association offices?
Yes. An election can contain multiple offices, each with its own candidates, voting limit, winner count, and write-in setting.
Can a member prove how they voted?
No. A receipt confirms that an anonymous ballot appears in the public record. It does not contain the voter's identity or reveal any selection.
Do small associations have to buy a plan first?
No. CharterVote has a free tier for small votes. Current limits and paid options are shown on the pricing page.
