Assembley

What Assembley is

Assembley is web software for organisations that hold general assemblies and member votes. It handles invitations, attendance registration, agenda management, and vote recording for online, in-person, and hybrid meetings. Organisers can run Yes/No/Abstain votes, secret ballots, board elections, and split voting, while following live results and quorum. Voters receive single-use ballot links and can vote without an account, password, or app. Organisations can upload shareholder or member registers as CSV files; Assembley checks them for duplicates and errors. Its evidence package includes the event chain, Merkle roots, attendance, and results for independent verification. Assembley says votes are write-once at the database level and that hash-chained event logs and Merkle roots support auditability. Starter is free forever, supports unlimited assemblies, and allows up to 25 voters per assembly. Basic costs €149 a year, also allows up to 25 voters per assembly, and includes a 30-day free trial. Premium Custom offers unlimited voters, unlimited assemblies, dedicated onboarding and training, and priority support with an SLA; its price is custom. Assembley says it processes data under GDPR and provides a Data Processing Agreement on paid plans. Its database and application run in Frankfurt, Germany, transactional mail is sent from Ireland, and two sub-processor agreements specify primary processing in the United States. The company states that it holds no third-party security certification.

Who it suits

Assembley suits associations, companies, and other organisations that need to organise general assemblies and member votes. It is particularly relevant when meetings may be online, in person, or hybrid and organisers need voter access links, quorum tracking, and an evidence package.

Limits

Starter and Basic each allow up to 25 voters per assembly. Premium Custom offers unlimited voters; Basic includes a 30-day free trial.

Getting started

1. Open the Assembley website.
2. Choose Starter or Basic, or contact Assembley about Premium Custom.
3. Upload a shareholder or member register as a CSV file if needed.
4. Set up an online, in-person, or hybrid assembly and send voters single-use ballot links.

Verdict

Choose Assembley if your organisation needs to run member votes or general assemblies and wants voter links, quorum tracking, and an audit evidence package. Starter may suit assemblies of up to 25 voters; larger voter counts require Premium Custom. Consider the stated data locations and absence of third-party security certification when assessing fit.
