Why take the chance that your election wasn’t conducted in accordance
with your rules? Providing a professional consultant to ensure the integrity
of your election could be the smartest move you make.
Some associations are seeking help from companies that offer voting
on the Internet. On the surface, this can seem like a fine idea —
but be sure to consider the fact that Web-based election services typically
have expertise in computer technology, not in elections and rules. Don’t
set yourself up to discover that the firm you engaged allowed nonvoting
members to receive ballots, didn’t count the ballots according
to your special rules, failed to discount illegal ballots, or brought
on a host of other nightmares.
If your election is held by mail, I can help ensure the ballots are
clear and easy to understand — and are mailed, returned, and handled
in accordance with your association’s rules.
Depending on your organization’s size, I can count the ballots
and certify the result. This service will not only relieve your staff
members of annoyance, but will also protect them from vulnerability
should problems arise.
