Communications Chair Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Online Election Software" October 2, 2025 5.0 I've been using ElectionBuddy with various organizations since 2023. Eveyone has loved how attractive, simple and transparent the elections were. I can't imagine going back to paper ballots again. Pros ElectionBuddy makes online voting simple. It is secure, a good value for the money, and provides results immediately after the close of the election. If you get stuck, there is support who will get your problem fixed. Cons There is nothing I don't like about ElectionBuddy. It is software that really works! It does force you to be careful about uploading your voting list. Have an extra space or a stray comma, then your election is suspended until it is fixed. Alternatives considered [Election Runner](https://www.capterra.com/p/172699/Election-Runner/) Reason for choosing ElectionBuddy ElectionBuddy was easier to use, had good product support and produced a stylish ballot.

Community Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not worth the purchase for professional users." September 5, 2024 3.0 mediocre. I wish I had went with VoteHOA instead. at first there pricing is higher, but if you were paying for the consulting, the pricing ends up being the same. Pros The software worked as it should. If you are doing the more basic service I think this is for you. I don't think they are that great for professional users. Cons The follow up was not great. I showed interest on the \[sensitive content hidden\] and I did not get it set up finally till \[sensitive content hidden\] (I was hoping for a week turn around). Once I did get it set up, they did not send out all the notification reminders I had paid for. It was not till the end that, I realized it had happened. Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy September 12, 2024 Hello Nery, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Office Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Experience with ElectionBuddy" October 1, 2025 5.0 Overall, I would recommend ElectionBuddy for the ease of use and the value for the money. It was easy to monitor and fix problems while the election was running, and the reports it generates after the election closes are easy to read and download. Pros It is very easy to set up and manage. The customer support experience was also excellent, with very quick response times to our questions. The price per election seems reasonable for our smaller cohort and offers more features for the price than competitors. Cons Setting up our initial voter list was tedious, as I had to retype every name and address to conform to the required format. ElectionBuddy was good at pointing out when the list had errors, but for us, it meant deleting the list, correcting the errors, and uploading the list again. Alternatives considered [Simply Voting](https://www.capterra.com/p/159426/Simply-Voting/)[Election Runner](https://www.capterra.com/p/172699/Election-Runner/) Reason for choosing ElectionBuddy Cost and ease of setup were factors in our choice.

Board of Directors Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We love Election Buddy " April 29, 2026 5.0 Love Election Buddy. Easy to navigate. Titles are clear and options are simple. Affordable for a small HOA. Pros I really like being able to run unlimited Test Votes. Initially, the large number of items which require a selection to finally get to a ballot is somewhat overwhelming. Knowing that the unlimited tries with the Test Ballot is available relaxed me greatly. I eventually created twenty one test ballots before going live with our Annual Election Ballot. Additionally, the HELP windows are easy to understand and have answered everything for me. Cons Proxy Voting requiring names of owners to be displayed. I would prefer fill-in. We have some owners that have “redacted from public record” identities.

Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy May 5, 2026 We’re glad the unlimited test votes and HELP resources made the process easier and more comfortable before going live. That’s exactly what they’re there for. We also appreciate your feedback on proxy voting and the need for more flexibility with owner names. We’ll be sure to share that with our team. Thanks again for choosing ElectionBuddy! KD Kimberly D. Executive Director Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ElectionBuddy is the new gold standard for voting!" January 9, 2026 5.0 As stated above, it was easy to use and the Board appreciated the ease of use when casting their votes. Formerly we took polls during a ZOOM meeting. ElectionBuddy allowed me to choose a set period of time for voting - which further allowed all Board members to cast their vote/have their way, regardless if they were attending the ZOOM meeting or not. Pros We used ElectionBuddy for a smaller association Board that I manage, and everyone involved in the voting loved it! It is very easy/user friendly to set up the ballots and the vote, and results are easy to view and share. It's a fantastic, secure way to have secure voting! Cons I honestly don't have any cons. The entire process of using ElectionBuddy was easy and straightforward. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) I wanted to allow members a period of time to vote, in case they were unable to make the one meeting where voting formerly took place. That way, everyone has their say. Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy January 12, 2026 We’re delighted to hear that ElectionBuddy made voting easy and convenient for your Board, and that everyone appreciated being able to participate. It’s wonderful to know that the setup, voting, and results process felt straightforward and secure. Your feedback means a lot, and we’re so glad ElectionBuddy could make the process smoother for your team! BC Ben C. Chief Electoral Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Service" October 3, 2025 4.0 ElectionBuddy is smooth and easy-to-use, while being powerful and providing us with customer service that is able to solve our problems. Pros The many features within ElectionBuddy allow our organization to be adaptable and serve all of our members properly. Cons ElectionBuddy should be able to delete duplicates from the voter list automatically. Instead, I have to go through and delete one-by-one. Switched from [Simply Voting](https://www.capterra.com/p/159426/Simply-Voting/) ElectionBuddy had fewer technical issues to address Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy October 8, 2025 Hi Ben. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your experience with ElectionBuddy. We are delighted to hear that you found the platform smooth, powerful, easy to use, and served all your members. We also appreciate your suggestion for automatically deleting duplicates from the voter list to streamline the election setup process. I've passed your feedback directly to our Product team for consideration in a future update. Thank you again for your review and for trusting ElectionBuddy with your elections. MM Michael M. Director Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Voting Summary" April 13, 2026 5.0 enjoyed using this and it worked well. Pros ease of use, costs and results...setting up a vote was simple and the tool had many good options to use. Cons Nothing comes to mind....it was really easy to use. Alternatives considered [ONR app](https://www.capterra.com/p/185451/ONR-app/) Reason for choosing ElectionBuddy cost and ease of use overall -- cost is critical Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy April 15, 2026 We're glad to hear that you found the voting setup simple and the tool flexible with plenty of useful options. We appreciate you highlighting the ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and overall results—it means a lot to us! JL Julie L. Bookkeeper Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool!" July 7, 2025 5.0 Overall, this was a huge win for us! We were able to receive election results immediately, and this saved us a huge amount of time. I'm pretty good with technology, and I got stuck a couple of times during the setup, but with some research, I was able to find the info I needed and set up an election that was seamless and efficient. I would definitely use it again! Pros This was very easy for the voters to use! I loved that we could set it up for an individual link to be texted to each member and they didn't need to enter another code in order to vote. From the admins perspective, it was a little confusing to set up, but the articles to find answers that I needed were helpful. Cons Figuring out how to set up the election wasn't the most intuitive compared to other technology (I can't compare it to other voting systems because this is the only one I have used... just comparing it to other tech experiences.)

Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long-time Customer" January 10, 2025 5.0 We have been using ElectionBuddy for 8 years now and have found their product very easy to use and their support very helpful. They are willing to hear customer feedback to continually improve their product. Pros The product is very easy to use and their support is very responsive. Cons Deliverability of ballots can be an issue for members that have a very strong firewall so we have to send reminders through our system asking attendees to look for their ballots. Switched from [SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) SurveyMonkey had poor derivability of unique ballots and it got very expensive. Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy January 13, 2025 Hi Andrew, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled that ElectionBuddy has been easy to use and our support team responsive over the past eight years. It's great to know we’ve helped streamline your election process.

Event Director Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great election software for everyone" June 10, 2025 5.0 Easy to implement, would use again. Easy to use election software when we needed to run a contested election, easy options without training needed. Pros Easy to use election software when we needed to run a contested election for Women's Council of Realtors for the first time. Cons When we sent out the election using emails, sometimes people had to check junk for election email, and had to send out reminders.

It is also the 4th time that I found it easy to work with and that it met all my needs. Pros Ease of set-up. Availability as well as promptness of online help. Clairity of parameters.

Secretary General Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Your search for an online election system stops here. (I've already tried the others.)" January 7, 2025 5.0 Excellent, in a word. Good value, no issues with set-up, results that no-one felt the need to query or dispute. When you're running an election across 60 countries, that's an achievement worth noting. Pros It's very easy to use - the set-up is very intuitive and needs little or no instruction to get going. It's a great interface - uncluttered, well laid-out. And its functional simplicity makes it a fabulous tool that instils confidence both in the administrator and the electorate. What's more, when I needed customer support - to check out the availability of a feature, rather than needing help with implementing a feature - I couldn't have asked for a better, more friendly response. It doesn't take a lot to make a customer feel valued, but there are plenty of companies out there who don't make that simple effort. Cons Honestly, I can't think of anything that's enough of a niggle to have to list it here. Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy January 9, 2025 Hi Adrian, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a kind and detailed review! We're so happy to hear that you found ElectionBuddy intuitive and easy to setup and use. We also love hearing that you felt supported by our Support chat.

Advisor Works Council Human Resources Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy and intuitive." January 7, 2025 5.0 For a works council I had to organize by-election. Most of the time setting up the voting was straight forward and intuitive. The voting process itself went smoothly. The price was right for what I needed. Pros Setting up the voting ballot was easy and pretty straightforward. I really liked that voters could click the information so that all information could be presented in an easy way. Cons If modifications are necessary after you have set the voting ready you first have to cancel… this process is a bit a hassle. Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy January 9, 2025 Hi Robert Jan, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the setup process easy and intuitive, and that you appreciated how the information was presented to voters.

Pros Ease of use and flexibility. Lots of different voting options, you can duplicate past elections to speed up setting up new ones and overall the UX is good.

April 6, 2022 5.0 The members of our organization like that they remain anonymous when voting to elect board members or voting to approve the annual budget. We customized the ballot with a photo of the entrance to our home owner association and this made the ballot easily recognizable. Many home owners have commented on how polished the ballot looked and how easy it was to vote. But the most important feature for us is the excellent customer service that we have received in the five elections we have run through Election Buddy. Pros It is easy to set up an election. Election Buddy can launch an election very quickly after you have set it up. Just this year we set up an election and had Election Buddy launch it an hour later. When I had questions as the election administrator, Election Buddy responded very quickly and knowledgeably. Election Buddy's customer service has always been excellent. Hats off to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] who handled our questions in our last election. Cons I sometimes find the descriptions of the various types of elections to be unclear and I wonder if our organization is using the different election types in the best way. In our next elections, we plan on exploring more of the options Election Buddy offers. Reason for choosing ElectionBuddy Our organization used the free "test" election to see if we liked Election Buddy. And we liked it very much. Our board members were the voters in the first test election and they were pleased with the ease with which a voter could participate in an election.

Nominations & Elections Committee Chair Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ElectionBuddy helped our election run smoothly!" May 10, 2022 5.0 Members in different parts of the country and some international members were able to vote easily. We did not receive any complaints. We had the results ready a few minutes after voting ended. Any concerns were promptly answered by the team and they provided well researched articles for us to decide what type of voting we wanted to conduct. Pros The ease of access for our members to vote, helped increase voter turnout. The Unique Access Key ensured that each ballot was used only once, but ElectionBuddy foreseeing issues also all made it easy for election management to issue new ballots if necessary. We had a new member join while voting was still open and we were able to send them a ballot. Monitoring the results was easy. Even running practice votes helped us understand the process. Cons This is our first time using it and I really did not find anything I disliked. Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy May 24, 2022 Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for your review!

YF Yolande F. Chapter Secretary Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "First Time User/Administrator" June 15, 2022 4.0 Reached much higher percentage (15%) of members who actually voted. Quorum is 5% so we more than met the requirements. Great tool vs. in person Annual Meeting to elect Board of Directors. Pros Use of Chat feature in the app resulted in very quick responses via email or the Chat feature. Links to applicable FAQs were helpful. Cons The set-up instructions were great; the follow-on actions of the Administrator during and post-election not as intuitive. A video 'guide' from start to end would have been helpful Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy June 22, 2022 Hi Yolande, We appreciate the time you took to leave a review!

Pros Great product, affordable, and was a great experience for the end user Cons Tricky to set up. The automatic chatbot that is designed to help, isn't helpful but is in the way. There is a "gotcha" moment as it isn't clear you need to add "extra" voters. I had to add them late and it cost 1/2 as much as the initial cost. Not sure why this is the case - felt like a cheap "gotcha" same on that one. Other than that it is a good product. Reason for choosing ElectionBuddy This product was recommended to us by a like organization. Review Source Response from ElectionBuddy February 19, 2024 Hi Neil, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you found our product to be easy to use at a cost-effective price point! We appreciate your insight in regards to our chatbot and will certainly take it into consideration for future improvements. We have the option to add extra voters as due to a number of reasons such as registration errors or late registration we understand you may need to add new voters while a vote is running. It's wonderful to know that overall, you found ElectionBuddy to be beneficial, and thank you again for your review!
