How to Run Easy & Accurate Elections on MotorsportReg.com

Date

Election_Results_Example

Does running your annual election take a lot of effort?  It doesn't have to. 

Say goodbye to the snail mail ballots and data entry and use our automated Elections tool. This easy to-use-feature is free to our Premium-plan customers. The setup is simple and since many of your members already have accounts with us, it'll be easy for them to cast their vote. 

Here are just a few of the benefits of running automated elections:

  • Accurate – eliminate data entry errors
  • Timely – automatic tabulation; know your results the minute the election closes
  • Anonymous – results can be viewed in aggregate, but individual votes remain private
  • Cost-Effective – eliminates printing and postage expense (one organization saved $3,000 in their first year!)
  • Controlled Access – optionally verifies memberships if you only want to allow current members to vote
  • Multi-Purpose – collects member email addresses for results dissemination (or other important organizational information) using the built-in email blaster

Has this ever happened to you?

You're one of those savvy organizers who uses our deferred payment processing feature because:

  1. It saves you time from having to process refunds if an attendee cancels,
  2. It encourages attendees to register earlier and more often because there's no penalty for canceling, and
  3. It gives you more visibility into who's attending your event because of #2 above.

But when you sit down to finally process payments, a handful of credit cards always fail for one reason or another.  And now all that time you saved from not having to handle refunds is spent chasing down payments from attendees with failed credit cards.
