THE UNION CHALLENGE

Union voting that members can trust

Unions elect their leaders and approve contracts under strict rules, often with members spread across sites, shifts and regions. Every eligible member needs a fair chance to vote, ballots must stay secret where required, and every result has to hold up if it is challenged.

WHAT UNIONS NEED

Four things every union vote must get right

Start from how your union governs itself, then choose the tools.

01

Your constitution and rules

Every vote follows your constitution, bylaws and the union voting rules that apply to you.
02

Reaching every member

Members vote online from work or home, in the room or on paper, so shift and remote workers are not left out.
03

Secret or verifiable ballots

Choose a secret ballot or an end-to-end verifiable ballot. Live meeting votes are recorded against each member for a full audit trail.
04

Results that stand up

A full audit trail and results the union can defend if they are challenged.
