Why Run Committee Elections Online in Your Society?

Why run committee elections online?

Committee elections are the highest-stakes vote your society runs. When the process is informal nominations on WhatsApp, scrutiny in a closed room, paper ballots counted by hand losers challenge the result and winners lack a mandate.

Five problems online GBE solves

1. Unverified nominations anyone claims candidacy without flat ownership proof.
2. Scrutiny disputes no record of why a nomination was rejected.
3. Campaign intimidation open voting exposes who voted for whom.
4. Absent owners excluded NRIs and travelling members can't participate.
5. No formal declaration results announced verbally with no permanent record.
6. Missed deadlines members forget nomination or voting windows without structured reminders.
