Online Voting for Nonprofits & Charities

Run board elections, officer votes, and membership decisions online. Secure, transparent, and affordable — so you can focus your budget on your mission, not on managing elections.

Nonprofit Elections Shouldn't Drain Your Resources

If your organization has ever struggled with low voter turnout, confusing ballots, or spending more time on election logistics than your actual mission — there's a better way.

💸

Tight Budgets, Expensive Tools

Every dollar matters when you're donor-funded. Many election platforms charge hundreds per vote — money that should be going to the people and programs you serve.

📭

Low Member Participation

Members are spread across the country. Asking them to mail in a ballot or attend a physical meeting means most won't participate — making it hard to reach quorum or get genuine representation.

🕐

Volunteer Time Wasted on Logistics

Printing ballots, counting votes, chasing responses. Election logistics eat up hours of volunteer time that could be spent on programs, fundraising, or community engagement.

Your mission deserves better.

ElectionChamp handles the entire process — setup, voting, reminders, counting, and documentation — so your team can stay focused on what matters.

Nonprofit Voting Questions

In most cases, yes. Most states allow electronic voting for nonprofit organizations, particularly when your bylaws don't explicitly prohibit it. ElectionChamp provides encrypted ballots, unique voter keys, and a complete audit trail — which often exceeds the compliance standards of paper-based voting. We recommend reviewing your bylaws and consulting your organization's legal counsel if you're unsure.

You upload your membership directory — names and email addresses — and ElectionChamp generates a unique 16-digit voter key for each member. Only people on your approved voter list receive a voting link. Each key can only be used once, preventing duplicate votes. You control exactly who is eligible.

Absolutely. A single election can include board member votes, officer elections, bylaw amendments, budget approvals, and member surveys all on the same ballot. Members see and vote on everything in one session. Results are calculated separately for each item.

Our pricing is already designed to be nonprofit-friendly — free for up to 20 voters, and just $10 for up to 200 voters. For organizations running frequent elections or with large membership bases, contact us to discuss volume pricing options.

That's exactly what ElectionChamp is built for. Members receive their voting link via email or SMS and can vote from any device — phone, tablet, or computer — from anywhere in the world. No need to attend a physical meeting or mail anything back. This is why organizations using online voting typically see dramatically higher participation than in-person or mail-in methods.

Yes. Election results, participation reports, and audit logs are all exportable in CSV and PDF formats. These documents provide the governance documentation that funders, auditors, and regulatory bodies may require — timestamped proof of who participated, how votes were counted, and what the outcomes were.

No. Ballots are anonymous — no one, including the board or ElectionChamp, can see how any individual voted. The board can see who has participated (useful for quorum tracking), but the actual votes are encrypted and separated from voter identity. This is by design and cannot be overridden.

Everything. The free plan for up to 20 voters includes every feature — encryption, email and SMS notifications, automatic reminders, instant results, audit trail, and all voting methods. It's not a limited trial; it's the full platform. For organizations with more than 20 members, pricing starts at $10 for up to 200 voters.
