Online Voting for
Co-ops
Run your AGM, director elections, and member votes with weighted voting, anonymous ballots, and verifiable results that every member can trust.
Co-op governance is only as strong as your voting process
Paper-based processes make weighted voting slow, error-prone, and hard to defend.
Share-weighted voting is complex to calculate
When members hold different numbers of shares, a one-person-one-vote count gives the wrong result. Weighted paper ballots are slow and prone to arithmetic errors.
Member engagement and quorum
Getting enough members to vote, especially for mid-year special meetings, is consistently difficult. Low turnout can invalidate a vote entirely.
Transparency and trust in results
Co-op governance depends on members trusting the process. Without a verifiable audit trail, close votes get challenged and community trust erodes.
Built for cooperative governance
From share-weighted votes to verifiable receipts, every feature serves democratic principles.
Share-weighted voting
Assign any vote weight to each member via CSV import. VoteAlly calculates weighted totals automatically and shows both weighted and unweighted results.
Anonymous secret ballot
Members vote privately. VoteAlly stores participation and ballot content in separate encrypted tables with no link between them.

Frequently asked questions
Can we assign different vote weights based on share ownership?
Yes. The voter import CSV includes a weight column. You can assign any value to each member, and VoteAlly calculates weighted totals automatically.
Can we run motions and elections in the same session?
Yes. A single session can contain any mix of For/Against/Abstain motions and multi-candidate elections, each controlled independently.
How do members prove the results are legitimate?
Every voter receives a cryptographic receipt code. Administrators can publish the full code list so any member can verify their vote was counted without revealing how they voted.
Can we brand it with our co-op's logo?
Yes. The Pro plan includes custom branding for the voter portal and invitation emails. Your members see your logo, not generic software.
