How School Board Electronic Voting Software Transforms Your Meetings

In an era defined by technological advancements, it is only natural that educational institutions embrace innovative solutions to enhance their operations. School boards, responsible for making vital decisions that shape the future of schools and students, have also evolved with the times. One significant transformation has been the adoption of electronic voting software.

Electronic voting has brought a plethora of benefits to school boards, making their processes more efficient, transparent, and accessible. In this blog, we will delve into the advantages of school board electronic voting software and how it positively transforms school board meetings.

1. Streamlined Decision-Making

The traditional method of verbal roll call voting can be time-consuming and documentation is tedious. School board electronic voting software streamlines the decision-making process by providing a convenient and accurate way to cast and tally votes.

With the OpenMeeting electronic voting system, school board members vote through the OpenMeeting app on their tablets. Additionally, all actions are automatically documented in the system.

3. Organized & Orderly Discussion

Discussion can become chaotic and difficult for the public to follow, especially on hot topics. Electronic voting systems, if also equipped with request-to-speak discussion management, help to organize discussion.

With the OpenMeeting system, board members request to speak electronically, and their requests automatically appear in order on the Chair’s dashboard. This helps prevent confusion and disruptions, making it easier for everyone to follow along.
