Onsite Electronic Voting for Elections & Governance Sessions

Professional voting support for conventions, assemblies, councils, boards, and formal business meetings — delivered onsite with dedicated equipment and experienced staff.

Secure • Accurate • Independent of Wi-Fi or mobile apps


When Accuracy Matters

Some decisions require more than a voice vote or a show of hands. When the result has to be defensible, when participants need to trust the count, when the outcome will be on the record — that’s where Padgett operates.

We support the votes that go into bylaws, into board minutes, into court records when challenged. The technology has to be reliable, the process has to be transparent, and the people running it have to know what they’re doing.

Typical uses include:

  • Officer and leadership elections
  • Bylaw and constitutional amendments
  • Budget approvals and major financial decisions
  • Resolutions and motions on the floor
  • Delegate and credentialed voting
  • Annual meetings and conventions

Managed Onsite from Start to Finish

Padgett provides the complete operation — not just rental equipment dropped off in a hallway. We work with your team in advance to understand the agenda, the voting rules, the room, and the timing. On the day of, our technicians arrive early, set up, test the system, and then run it live during the meeting. We don’t leave until the last vote is recorded.

This is the part most software platforms can’t replicate: a person in the room who’s done this before, knows what to do when something goes sideways, and answers to your meeting chair.


Who We Work With

Padgett supports organizations whose meetings have stakes — formal governance, member elections, decisions that affect people’s roles, finances, or futures.

That includes:

  • Churches and denominational conferences
  • Fraternities, sororities, and national conventions
  • Associations and membership groups
  • Labor unions and assemblies
  • Tribal councils
  • Corporate boards and shareholder meetings

The procedures vary. Some meetings run by Robert’s Rules to the letter; others are more practical. What stays the same is the need for a vote that everyone in the room — and everyone reading the minutes later — can trust.


How It Runs

Every engagement follows the same four steps:

Planning. We review your agenda, voting formats, and attendance expectations to configure the system before we leave the office.

Setup and testing. Technicians arrive early, install the keypads and receivers, and test the full system end-to-end with your team before doors open.

Live session. During voting, we operate the system, manage the displays, and handle anything unexpected so the chair can keep the meeting moving.

Reporting. Results are available immediately on screen and exportable in formats suitable for the official record.


When the Discussion Matters as Much as the Vote

For meetings with structured debate, large numbers of speakers, or contested motions, Padgett offers TalkTrack™ — a system that manages microphone queues, speaker order, and recognition rules in real time.

TalkTrack lets meeting leadership:

  • Recognize speakers fairly and on the record
  • Maintain order during contentious sessions
  • Enforce time limits and priority rules
  • Keep the agenda moving without losing legitimacy

Often used alongside electronic voting in complex assemblies.
