Simply Voting
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
What it is
Simply Voting is a web-based service for organizing online elections, from setting up ballots and voter authentication to collecting votes and reporting results. Its Election Manager lets administrators set election dates and questions, choose an authentication method, and upload eligible voter lists. Ballots can offer multiple choice, write-ins, or preferential voting, with options for candidate photos, descriptions, and voter comments. The system issues voting receipts and blocks repeat voting within an election; administrators can tabulate results and publish them with downloadable vote and receipt-code files for verification. Voters can use an interface translated into as many as 18 languages. Authentication connections include SAML, OpenID Connect, CAS, or a proprietary single sign-on link. The company also offers telephone voting and hybrid internet-and-paper elections with one tally. Simply Voting states that voter communications use TLS 1.3 and its database uses AES-256 encryption at rest. A free plan is available for elections of 10 electors or less; larger self-administered elections use voter-based fees, while managed elections require a quote.
