"Thanks to Polys there was no need for manual verification of voters and we were also able to display the voting results quickly."
PROBLEM
Election of the association president during COVID-19
For its elections, the association needed a reliable and secure voting system, so the election committee decided to use Polys. This system was considered more appropriate than other voting tools such as Zoom's polling feature and Google Forms. The team also had positive experience of using the free version of Polys in last year's elections.
SOLUTION
Online voting via Polys in unprecedented times
Voting lasted one day with 130 registered voters choosing a president from among three candidates.
Before the organization switched to online voting, everything was done manually and took time. However, due to the measures and restrictions introduced to counter the coronavirus, they were forced to go online.
