Run Seamless Remote & Hybrid Council Meetings with an Electronic Voting System

1. Inclusivity & Flexibility

Expanded Participation: Hybrid and remote meetings, coupled with electronic voting systems, enable broader engagement from constituents who cannot attend or have difficulty attending physically.

Fairness & Equality: When attending meetings remotely without an electronic voting system, it can be difficult for council members to have their voices heard during discussion. However, with request-to-speak speaker queue made available via the OpenMeeting electronic voting system, all council members attending (remotely or in-person) have the same opportunity to speak by requesting electronically through the OpenMeeting app.

With the OpenMeeting Technologies electronic voting system, council members motion, second, request to speak, and vote, in-person or remotely, through the secure OpenMeeting app.

2. Efficiency, Transparency, and Seamless Decision-making

In Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, it’s easy to conduct hybrid meetings with the OpenMeeting electronic voting system, and it’s easy for the public to follow along with meeting activities.

3. Effective Implementation and Security

Robust Technology: Councils leveraging electronic voting systems are prioritizing robust technological infrastructure to support seamless meeting experiences.

Cybersecurity Measures: Strict security measures in electronic voting systems safeguard sensitive information, maintaining the integrity of council proceedings.
