The modern alternative to eBallot
If you are evaluating alternatives to eBallot, VoteAlly is worth a look. It is a modern governance voting platform built around one idea: voting should be effortless for members and straightforward for the administrator running the meeting.
VoteAlly is not affiliated with eBallot or Votenet Solutions. Feature information reflects publicly available details as of February 2026 and may have changed.
If you just want to run a vote without a sales process
eBallot has historically served enterprise and government clients alongside its self-serve offering. Some boards exploring their options find that dedicated enterprise election software assumes a longer procurement timeline than a community association typically needs. If you are looking for a platform where you can create an account, build a ballot, and run a test election on the same day with no prior sales engagement, VoteAlly is designed for exactly that workflow.
VoteAlly is self-serve from day one. Create an account, upload your voter list, build your ballot, and send Magic Link invitations in the same session. No sales call, no quote, no wait. The Free plan supports up to 50 eligible voters, which means you can run a full test election and verify the platform meets your requirements before any financial commitment.
For boards that do want hands-on support, our Managed Services team is a single email away, and it is always optional. The platform is fully usable without it.
What boards value about VoteAlly
Purpose-built for HOAs, cooperatives, nonprofits, and professional associations running live and scheduled votes.
Mobile-first voter experience
Every screen is built for a phone first. Voters tap once to access their ballot and once more to submit. Fast, clear, and requires no technical confidence.
Magic Link authentication
Remove the biggest barrier for older voters. Each member receives a single personalized link. One tap logs them in and shows their active ballot with no password required.
Live meeting mode
Open Motion 1, watch votes arrive in real time, close it, show results, and move to Motion 2. All from the chair dashboard without leaving the meeting.
Weighted voting built in
Upload a CSV with unit entitlements or share percentages. VoteAlly calculates weighted results automatically the moment each motion closes.
Governance-ready reports
Every election produces a participation record, an anonymized ballot tally, and an executive results summary formatted for your minute book.
Cryptographic receipt codes
Every voter receives a unique receipt after submitting. These codes can be cross-checked against the published tally to verify their vote was counted, without revealing their choice.
