Voting Clickers: Exploring Alternative Solutions!

Interactive voting clickers were once a popular first step toward digitizing voting in businesses, associations, or homeowners' associations. However, this solution has significant limitations: voting can only take place in person, requires physical devices that must be transported, distributed, and collected afterward, and lacks flexibility.

Today, there’s a revolutionary alternative for organizations: electronic voting platforms. Here’s everything you need to know.

What Are Interactive Voting Clickers?

Audience Responsive Solutions (ARS) are systems used in organizations like businesses, associations, or public institutions to simplify and modernize voting compared to traditional paper ballots and ballot boxes. They are also commonly used in driving schools or training quizzes.

Participants simply press a button on their personal device to cast their vote. For instance, voting options can be displayed on a PowerPoint slide in a meeting room, and attendees respond using their handheld clicker.

While these devices bring a certain level of interactivity, they come with several limitations, prompting many organizations to look for better alternatives.

Why Choose an Electronic Voting Platform?

While interactive voting clickers may work for basic use cases, electronic voting platforms take the process to the next level. They offer unparalleled flexibility, enabling voting in-person, remotely, or in hybrid setups. They also fully digitize your meeting, eliminating the need for physical equipment.
