Here's exactly what happens when you create an election on ElectionChamp.
Start by giving your election a name, selecting your organization, and setting your voting dates. This is the foundation—think of it as filling out a quick registration form.
Choose your security level, set notification preferences, and define your election rules. We provide smart defaults for everything, so you can accept them or customize to fit your organization's policies.
This is where it gets real. Add your candidates, motions, or questions. Choose your voting method—plurality, ranked choice, approval voting, or nominations. You can have multiple ballot items using different voting methods in a single election.
Import your voters from a CSV file or spreadsheet. The system automatically generates a unique, secure 16-digit voting key for each voter. One person, one key, one vote—guaranteed. No duplicate voting possible.
Edit the email and SMS messages your voters will receive. Customize the subject line, body text, and branding. Set up automatic reminders that go out to non-voters on a schedule you choose—so you don't have to chase anyone down.
Preview your entire election—ballot, settings, voter list, and notifications—all in one summary screen. When everything looks right, hit launch. Voters receive their secure voting links instantly, and your election is live.
Once you hit launch, everything runs automatically. Here's the voter journey from start to finish.
Each voter receives a personalized email or SMS with their unique, secure voting link.
They click the link, enter their 16-digit key, and are authenticated in seconds. No account needed.
