Internet Voting
Our ever growing use of the internet means that increasingly we expect to be able to conduct more of our personal and business lives online.
Extending this notion to the provision of a secure electronic voting facility is an obvious and natural development. ERS has been at the forefront of providing e-democratic services since 2000. Now a wide variety of UK and global organisations including multinational businesses, international partnerships, associations and institutions use the ERS internet voting system as part of their democratic processes.
The ERS internet voting system can be used to run any kind of election, referendum or ballot and can be used as a sole voting method or combined with other voting formats.
The system has undergone rigorous testing to ensure that it is compatible with all internet browsers and operating systems. It has also been developed in accordance with AA accessibility standards to maximise usability by visually impaired and other disabled voters. In short we have ensured that our technology fully enfranchises all of your electorate rather than being a barrier to participation.
For further information on electronic voting you can download a PDF of our internet voting brochure by clicking here.
For our Research division, internet-based technology is proving effective as
a means of encouraging participation. We can advise on the appropriate
online survey method (email, internet, or intranet), design the research
questionnaire, publish to the Worldwide Web, receive responses and produce
the report.
