Run contested or uncontested officer races — president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, committee chairs — with candidate statements, anonymous ballots, and instant results.
President, VP, secretary, treasurer — all on one ballot.
Find the candidate with the broadest support.
Members vote their conscience without pressure.
Every race decided the moment voting closes.
Most organizations don't just elect a president — they elect an entire leadership slate. ElectionChamp handles multiple races on one ballot, each with its own candidates, bios, and voting method. Voters work through each race, making their selections, and submit once when they're done.
Contested races (multiple candidates for president) sit alongside uncontested races (one nominee for secretary) and even non-election items like bylaw amendments or budget approvals — all on the same ballot. Different voting methods per race: plurality for a two-person race, ranked choice for a crowded field.
Multiple races, one ballot
No counting committee. No suspense at the annual meeting. The instant your voting window closes, ElectionChamp calculates every race and produces a complete report — winner, vote totals, margins, and participation rates for each officer position.
For ranked choice races, you get a full round-by-round breakdown showing exactly how votes transferred. For uncontested confirmation votes, you see the exact approve/reject split. Every race is documented independently, ready for your governance records.
All races at a glance
Officer elections are leadership elections — they determine who steers the organization. Here's how different groups handle them.
President, VP, secretary-treasurer, sergeant-at-arms, stewards. Union officer elections often have specific constitutional requirements for nomination periods, voting windows, and secret ballot procedures.
Board chair, vice chair, secretary, treasurer, committee chairs. Often elected by the board rather than the full membership. Anonymous voting keeps board dynamics healthy.
President, president-elect, past president succession. Members across states or countries vote for national leadership. Ranked choice voting popular for multi-candidate fields.
Board president, vice president, secretary, treasurer. Often elected among board members after the board election. Sometimes elected directly by homeowners.
Deacon chair, elder board officers, committee leadership, ministry directors. Anonymous voting prevents relationship strain during contested races.
Student government president, class officers, faculty senate leadership, club officers. High-profile elections that benefit from professional-grade voting infrastructure.
From two-person contested races to full slate confirmations — every scenario covered.
President, VP, secretary, treasurer, committee chairs — all as separate races on one ballot. Each race has its own candidates, its own voting method, and produces its own result.
When 4 candidates run for president, ranked choice voting finds the one with the broadest support — not just the most first-choice votes. Ideal for avoiding plurality winners with weak mandates.
Each candidate gets a bio, vision statement, and qualifications displayed on the ballot. Voters make informed decisions based on substance, not just name recognition.
One nominee for secretary? Run a yes/no confirmation vote. Creates the formal documentation your bylaws require even when the outcome isn't in doubt.
Officer elections need strong participation to give the winners a legitimate mandate. Email and SMS reminders to non-voters drive turnout without manual effort.

See Full PricingYes. Each race on the ballot can use a different voting method. Use ranked choice for your contested 4-candidate president race, plurality for a two-person treasurer race, and yes/no for an uncontested secretary confirmation — all on the same ballot.
For a single nominee, set up a yes/no confirmation vote: "Shall Jane Smith serve as Secretary? Yes / No." This creates the formal documentation your bylaws require. You can also present an entire uncontested slate for a single up-or-down approval vote if your bylaws allow it.
Absolutely. Put board of directors elections, officer elections, bylaw amendments, and budget approvals all on one ballot. Each item has its own voting method and produces its own results. This is common for annual meetings where everything happens at once.
If two candidates receive exactly the same number of votes, the results clearly show the tie with exact counts. Your organization's bylaws determine how to handle a tie — common approaches include a runoff election, coin flip, or chair's deciding vote. ElectionChamp makes it easy to set up a quick runoff if needed.
Yes. Each candidate gets a description field where you can include their name, current role, qualifications, vision statement, or any other information the nominating committee wants to share. This appears directly on the ballot so voters have the context they need.
Yes. Enable the write-in option on any race. Voters see the nominated candidates plus a text field to enter a write-in name. Write-in votes are counted and included in results alongside the nominated candidates.
No. Pricing is based on voter count, not the number of races or ballot items. A ballot with 8 officer races and 3 bylaw amendments costs the same as a ballot with a single race. One election, one price.
The election administrator controls the ballot. Your nominating committee provides the finalized candidate list, and the admin enters the candidates with their bios and qualifications. The ballot can be previewed and reviewed before launch — nothing goes live until you're ready.
