Many organizations have found using a board portal that can be used for remote voting helps increase participation by members who cannot attend meetings in person. It’s easier to organize and more reliable, and allows members to vote from any location. There are a few key points to remember when you are voting remotely.

It is important to keep in mind that email is not an appropriate medium for an individual vote. Personal and business email accounts are low-hanging fruit for cybercriminals to hack into and alter the outcome of an election. This could result in a vote that’s null and null and. This type of manipulation is very difficult to detect, and even more difficult to prove, without an extremely secure system like the board portal that a lot of companies rely on.

Another issue is that a vote sent in via email does not necessarily convey the true intent of the voter. If a member votes a vote, they may choose between a simple yes or no, or an extensive explanation of the issue. This can cause confusion for the other voters or result in a muddled vote outcome.

This is why it’s vital for any organization that is considering implementing email voting to have a clear procedure in place. Before any remote voting is conducted it is essential that every member is trained on how to use the voting software used by the company.
