What is e-voting? Ability to cast vote online through an internet enabled device (PC/ Tablet/ Mobile) Instruction to vote can be distributed by post or by e-mail Participant can only vote once Process is typically anonymized so no personal data associated with vote cast

Its benefits… Offers greater convenience to voter – which in turn can increase turnout Can replace traditional means of balloting, significantly reducing costs associated with the printing, distribution and counting of postal ballots Real time reporting on turnout provides greater understanding of organisation’s voting behaviour/ metrics

Impact of e-voting on turnout On the whole e-voting generally increases turnout in a ballot Ballot distribution channel plays a major role in determining how individuals vote Notable e-voting projects SNP 2015 candidate selection process - in 47 elections approximately 90% of votes cast online. Largest turnout in Student Union election (MUSU) - all votes cast online Recent examples of organisations moving from purely postal ballot to multi-channel approach: CIHT - 114% increase in 2015 Election of Council (700 to 1500 votes) ICAS - 66% increase in 2015 AGM British Dressage - 630% increase in 2014 Director Elections Royal Aeronautical Society - 100% increase in Council elections Kensington & Chelsea Housing Association - 47% increase in Board Member elections e-voting not a silver bullet for increasing turnout what is being voted on, how the ballots are distributed and also reminders play significant role

Security All websites are encrypted (https) Registered with the Information Commissioners Office All sensitive data stored in a secure data centre. Voting database only stores details of how a vote was cast NOT who cast it Only authorised personnel have access to password protected data Data provided by clients ONLY used for purposes of election Client date deleted after election Security codes can only be used once

Delivery of Ballots Variety of different channels Postal Online (via E-Mail or Post) Mobile SMS Telephone Inperson/ voting machine Most popular model in commercial elections appears to be e-mailing of ballots to all members with valid address, postal ballot sent to the remainder. Over 35% of all votes cast using Mi-Voice are through the mobile channel.
