When Zoom Polling isn't enough for your AGM
Run your meeting on Zoom. Run your vote on VoteAlly. Many boards use both tools together because they are designed for different jobs: one for video communication, one for governance-grade voting.
VoteAlly is not affiliated with Zoom Video Communications, Inc. and is designed to complement, not replace, video conferencing tools. Information is accurate as of February 2026.
Two tools, one meeting
Video conferencing is built for communication. Built-in polls are designed for quick engagement checks during a call, not for formal governance. They are optimized for a different job.
VoteAlly handles the governance part: authenticated voters, weighted ballots, ballot secrecy, and a documented audit trail. Your Zoom call handles the rest.
What VoteAlly adds to your virtual AGM
Purpose-built governance controls that complement your existing video call setup.
Works alongside any meeting platform
VoteAlly runs in a browser tab or on a phone, independent of your video call. It works equally well with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or any other conferencing platform.
Handles shared screens gracefully
If household members share a single screen for the video call, each person opens their personal Magic Link on their own phone to vote individually. No screen-sharing conflicts.
Native weighted voting
Upload your voter list with unit entitlements or share percentages. VoteAlly calculates weighted results automatically when each motion closes. No manual math after the meeting.
Governance-grade ballot secrecy
Participation records and encrypted ballot choices are stored separately. VoteAlly is designed for governance-style ballot secrecy, not general meeting engagement polling.
Complete governance documentation
Every election produces a participation record, anonymized ballot tally, and executive results summary formatted for your minute book. Available immediately when voting closes.
Precise live meeting control
The chair opens each motion from the admin dashboard, watches real-time turnout, and closes it when ready. Results display instantly. Then move to the next agenda item.
How it works during a virtual AGM
- Members join the Zoom call as usual for the agenda, presentations, and discussion
- Before the meeting, each eligible voter received a Magic Link in their email
- When the chair is ready to vote, they open the motion in the VoteAlly dashboard
- Members tap their Magic Link (on their phone or a browser tab) and cast their ballot
- The chair closes the motion when ready. Results appear instantly on screen
- The full governance report is ready to download the moment voting closes
Frequently asked questions
Can I use VoteAlly while running a meeting on Zoom?
Yes. That is how VoteAlly is designed to work. Members follow the meeting on Zoom. When the chair opens a motion, they tap their Magic Link in a browser tab or on their phone to vote. Everything runs in parallel.
Are Zoom polls sufficient for formal governance voting?
It depends on your jurisdiction and governing documents. Requirements around weighted voting, ballot secrecy, and audit documentation may require controls beyond built-in meeting polls. Confirm requirements with counsel.
How does VoteAlly handle household members sharing one screen?
Each eligible voter receives their own Magic Link by email. If two members share a screen for the video call, each person opens their personal link on their own phone to vote individually.
Does VoteAlly integrate with Zoom directly?
VoteAlly runs independently in a web browser. This ensures stability, requires no plugins or downloads for voters, and works equally well with Teams, Webex, Google Meet, or in-person meetings.
