Simply Voting is a web-based service for running organizational elections, with tools for ballot setup, voter authentication, vote collection, and results. Election Manager lets administrators set dates and questions, select authentication, and upload eligible voter lists. Ballots can offer multiple choice, write-ins, or preferential voting, along with candidate photos, descriptions, and comment boxes. The system issues receipts, blocks repeat voting in an election, and can publish results with downloadable vote and receipt-code files for verification. Its interface supports up to 18 translations and is regularly audited against Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 accessibility requirements. Voter authentication can connect through SAML, OpenID Connect, CAS, or a proprietary single sign-on link. The company also offers automated telephone voting and hybrid internet-and-paper elections with a unified tally. A free plan covers elections with 10 electors or less; self-administered election fees depend on eligible voter count, while managed elections require a quote. Simply Voting serves organizations including associations, schools, unions, governments, cooperatives, companies, and clubs.
