Premium Features

NemoVote runs in the Web browser of the client. All modern browsers and devices are supported. No downloads or extra apps are needed. The onboarding and set up of NemoVote for the administrator is very easy. Voters can be uploaded in bulk using a simple spread sheet. The passwords for the voters can be automatically generated in the app and send out simultaneously with the included bulk email service. NemoVote offers a powerful user management: You can adjust your voting rights at any time (except for an ongoing vote of course); new voters can be easily added or removed from the voter lists.

Setup and Management

NemoVote has all the features that you might need for your elections and for replicating your voting system. On this page we will give you an overview of the most important features.

Voting Features

In the user management you can add or remove voters, change emails or passwords, send out automatic emails and upload as many voters as you need with only a few clicks. Furthermore, you can edit the vote weight of each voter if required by your voting system and much more.

Advanced User Management

Want to ask and answer questions? Communicate together with broadcast messages. As administrator you can use the broadcast function to send links or messages during the meeting directly to all your members with the broadcast function. It will automatically pop up in the NemoVote app for them.

Broadcast Messages

Use the vote description to establish candidate profiles. You can even add pictures for more information. As Voter you can easily identify what the vote is about. Each ballot includes an optional vote description. The vote description can be edited with a rich text editor. This enables you to not only add and style the text that will appear with your ballot but also to include images or links. You can also use this to add candidate profiles to your election.

Candidate profiles

You want to welcome the voters with your Agenda? Customize the page with pictures and text. Voters tend to like the greet. Customize the voter landing page with the included rich text editor. Add text and media regarding to your event on this page. This will be the first page that a voter sees after the login.

Custom Voter Welcome Page

You might want to share additional information when you invite a voter. Customize the invitation email with pictures and text. NemoVote allows you to send and manage emails with automatic generated passwords and links. Check the delivery status of each email directly in the app. You can also customize and edit the invitation email that your voters will receive. Great to share more information with your voters.

Customizable Voter Invitation Email

If you don’t need a subscription but have recurring events and want to keep your data in NemoVote and also for your voters to keep their passwords and logins, for a small fee, the data will be kept stored on the secure NemoVote voting servers, ready to be activated again when you need it. Data retention is charged annually and needs to be renewed to remain active.

Data Retention

Don't do all the work alone. Add as many staff as administrators as you need at no extra cost. NemoVote is only charged by the number of voters, not by the number of administrators. To preserve the integrity of the ballot, administrators cannot have voting rights in NemoVote.

Multiple Administrators

It’s not always blue or red. Voters might need to vote for both. As administrator you can set the vote up as you need it. NemoVote offers both single and multiple choice ballots. More advanced options, such a minimum/maximum number of choices is also available. This helps you to create exactly the ballots that you need for your vote.

Multiple Choice Voting

Not able to attend the vote? Just inform your administrator on who should proxy for you. As administrator set up a voter list for proxy votes and add them to your vote. NemoVote offers several options to implement proxy votes i.e. someone giving their voting right to another person. This way a person can carry more than one voting right and you can set up the voter roll exactly according to your bylaws.

Proxy Voting

Get voting results in an instant. Either live as the vote is open, or as soon as the vote is closed. Set the vote up as private as you need it to be. Open & close votes and access results in real time. All votes can be prepared, edited both during the event and also in advance. Perfect for assemblies or AGMs. You can exactly specify when and to whom the results will be accessible according to your needs.

Realtime Results

Your quorum might require a set of voters. Check who is online with the roll call function. With this function you can check live who is logged in and "present" in the app. This enables you to both check if all your voters managed to log in and also to directly assess if e.g. your statutory quorum for a vote is reached.

Quorum Roll Call

Group up your voters and set up weights if required to ease your administration. As a voter see transparently why you are eligible.

Unlimited Voter Lists

We do not limit the way you vote. Neither should you. Have as many votes as needed in the defined time. With NemoVote you can host as many votes as you need. You only pay for the number of voters and can host unlimited ballots during the time of your votes.

Unlimited Votes

The voter batch upload enables you to upload a large number of voters with just a few clicks. You can copy your voter roll for example from an existing spread sheet. You don’t have to worry about passwords. NemoVote can generate them automatically for all voters and send them out simultaneously when needed.

Voter Batch Upload

Different voters might be entitled to different weights? Just set their voting weight for a whole voter group or individually. Assign different weights to different voters, either on the individual voter basis or to whole voter groups. That way voters can have different weights in different ballots.

Weighted Voting

The most beloved feature: White label NemoVote. Change NemoVote to your own corporate ID and add your own logo and colors. This will improve the overall experience of your voting event for your members.

Magda M.

This was a very positive experience that really helped our organization during the pandemic when we switched from in person to online voting. The developers took into account the feedback and tried to make the app more user-friendly from one event to another. In present, the app is easy to use and really helpful for small and mid scale votings.

Inês S.

I'm very satisfied with NemoVote. It was really easy to use it as an admin and to explain to all users how to vote, as well as to send them the credentials. It's also great to know which users are online to check more easily if there's any problem. The best thing for us was the results section: it shows the number of votes and percentage, which is crucial when having a general assembly of elections.

## Introduction

Managing online elections with NemoVote is straightforward, but understanding the workflow ensures a smoother experience. This guide takes you through every step, complemented by short videos. If you prefer not to watch the videos, the text below explains everything in detail.

---
## Understanding Election Status in 20 Seconds
<YouTube videoId="6b185_4jU2M?" isReel={true}/>

When you log into NemoVote as an administrator, the first thing you see is the election status dashboard. Here's what the states mean:
1. **Draft Votes**: Votes prepared but not yet active. These are editable and not visible to voters.
2. **Open Votes**: Active votes open for voter participation.
3. **Closed Votes**: Completed votes that are archived for viewing or exporting results.

---
## Online Election Set Up in under 2 Minutes

### Creating a new Vote
*In 15 seconds*
<YouTube videoId="3lScvnYUpDE?"/>

To create a new vote:
- Click on the **Create Vote** button on the dashboard.
- Add a **title** and **description**.
- Use the description field to include links (e.g., to budgets), images (e.g., nominees), or tables for additional context. This way NemoVote enables features like **Candidate Profiles**.

<Tip>To enable *really fast motions*, you can leave the title and description empty. NemoVote will then add an automatic title with date and timestamp. </Tip>

### Setting Up Vote Choices
Watch this *18 seconds* video
<YouTube videoId="CM81SXWIUbg" isReel={true}/>

NemoVote allows you to configure vote choices:
- **Motion Voting**: Use the *Make it a motion* Button for standard options like *In Favor, Against, Abstain*. You may still edit them and add or delete more choices
- **Custom Choices**: Create up to 100 choices. You can add or remove choices with the (+) ad (-) buttons.
- **Multiple Choice**:
  - Exactly: Specify the exact number of choices a voter can select.
  - Minumum/Maximum: Define a minimum and maximum range for selections.
  - **[More Information](/knowledge-base/admin-functions/multiple-choice-voting)**

<Tip>When voting on motions, *In Favor, Against, Abstain* will even be translated to the voters set language!</Tip>

### Explaining Vote Settings in Under A Minute
<YouTube videoId="dUheUSMiLNk?"/>

Customize your vote settings for a tailored experience:
  1. **Who can see the results?**: Result Visibility. Decide if results are visible to only admins or to both admins and voters.

  <Tip>Only voters that where eligible for a vote (i.e. in a voter list that was
    added to a vote) will be able to access the results. A voter cannot access a
    result for a vote where they had no right of participation</Tip>

  2. **Should the usernames of users who have already voted be displayed?**: Vote Casting Visibility. Track whether voters have cast their votes (but not their choices).
  3. **Should the voter’s choice remain anonymous?**: Secret vs. Non-Secret Votes. Secret Ballots are encyrpted and cannot be linked to a voter, even on database level. In a non-secret election, the administrator can view who cast which vote.
  4. **How should the voting weight be calculated?**: Voting Weight. Choose between individual weights or weights based on voter lists. **[More Information](/knowledge-base/admin-functions/weighted-voting)**

  5. **Should the results be accessible before the vote is closed?**: Live Results. Display real-time results or hide them until the vote closes.
  6. **Should new voters access the voting, after it has been opened?**: Allow changes to voter eligibility during an open vote.  If this option is set to "Yes", newly added voters are automatically added to the respective vote and are granted voting rights. If they are deleted, they also lose their voting rights if they have not already voted. **[More Information](/knowledge-base/admin-functions/new-voters-access)**

  7. **Automatic Closing**: Schedule the vote to close automatically after a specific time.
  <Tip>Select the date and time within your local time zone! Users of other timezones
    will see this time calculated to their local timezone in „My votes" when the
    vote is opened.</Tip>

### Setting Up Voting Rights in 20 Seconds
<YouTube videoId="ynvYHC_AXCA"/>

Assign voting rights to determine participation:
- **All Voters**: Default setting for general participation.
- **Proxy Voters**: Set up separate voter lists for proxy voting. **[More Information](/knowledge-base/usecases/proxy-voting-with-nemovote)**
- **Subgroups**: Restrict participation to a specific subset of voters.

---
## How to Open a Vote
<YouTube videoId="ehE5UbH6utU"/>

Once your vote is set up, you can:
- Click **Create** and keep it in *draft mode* for further adjustments.
- Click **Create & Open** to activate the vote immediately. A pop-up will ask if you want to send email notifications to voters, providing a direct link to the vote.

---

## Introduction: How Does Multiple Choice Work in Online Voting?
This article will guide you step by step on how to enable multiple-choice options in NemoVote, allowing voters to select more than one option per ballot. This ensures your elections are secure, transparent, and flexible.

Example scenario: You have 10 candidates for 3 positions. With multiple choice, voters can select exactly 3 out of 10 options or set a minimum and maximum number of choices.

---
## What Is Multiple Choice in Online Elections?

Multiple choice allows voters to cast multiple votes in a digital election. It’s ideal for:  
- **Board elections** (e.g., select 3 out of 10 candidates),  
- **Project prioritizations** (e.g., vote for at least 2, but no more than 5 projects),  
- **Member decisions** where several options are available.

With NemoVote, you can create flexible elections tailored to your needs. The best part? The platform is GDPR-compliant and user-friendly.

---
## Step 1: Setting Up Voting Options in NemoVote

Watch our *18-second video* to see how easy it is to set up:<br/>  
<YouTube videoId="CM81SXWIUbg"/>

### Here’s How:
1. Create an election.  
2. Navigate to **Vote Choices**.  
3. Enable the **"Allow multiple choice"** option.  
4. Choose between **Exact** or **Minimum/Maximum** settings.  

---
## Step 2: Defining the Type of Multiple Choice 

### Configuring Exact Multiple Choice

The *"Exact"* setting defines how many options voters must select. Examples:  
- **Exactly 3**: Voters must select exactly 3 options.  
- **Exactly 1**: Functions like a simple single-choice election.

### Advantages:
- Precise control over voting.  
- Ideal for elections with a fixed number of votes, like board elections.  

---
### Flexible Multiple Choice

This option lets you set a minimum and maximum number of choices voters can make.  
Examples:  
- **Minimum 2, Maximum 5**: Voters must select at least 2 and no more than 5 options.  
- **Minimum 0**: Voters can abstain (submit a blank ballot).

### Advantages:
- Flexibility for complex elections.  
- Adaptable for various needs, such as prioritizations or surveys.

## Vote settings

![Syncing of voting rights for a vote that has already been opened](/public/media/knowledge-base/sync-voting-rights.png)

If a vote has already been opened in the default setting, it is not possible to adjust the voting rights after opening the vote. When the vote is opened, a snapshot of the voting rights is created, which is stored in the database and cannot be changed.
However, there are use cases in which it may be necessary and useful to allow voting rights to be changed while a vote is already in progress.
This can be particularly helpful for non-live votes if the vote is open for a certain period of time (e.g. several days) and the exact group of eligible voters has not yet been determined at the time the vote is started.

If the function is activated, changes to the voter lists eligible to vote in the respective vote are immediately applied and adopted for the vote already in progress.

For example, if voter A has not yet cast her vote for the current vote and is removed from the voter list, she loses her voting rights for the vote. At the same time, voter A is also removed from the overview that shows the administrator which voters have not yet voted (if the function is activated).

If another new voter, voter B, is now added to a list of voters entitled to vote, voter B is then also given voting rights for the vote already in progress. The corresponding tables in the results display or the roll call are updated automatically.

For a better understanding, here is an analogy to a vote with a paper ballot:

The case described above with voter B corresponds to the case where further ballot papers are simply handed out to new voters after voting has already begun.
The case described above with voter A describes the case where the ballot paper is withdrawn by a voter before she has been able to cast her vote.

A vote that has already been cast and counted cannot be subsequently changed using this functionality. Votes that have already been cast cannot be removed from the database or changed by the system to protect the immutability and integrity of the results.
The analogy to voting with paper would be that it is not possible to remove an individual vote that has already been cast from the ballot paper container. Especially in the case of an anonymous vote.

<Tip>**Important:**
If this function is activated, deleting the entire list of voters also removes the voting rights of all voters who have not yet voted!</Tip>

## E-mail notification of voters

If the option to change the voter lists is deactivated during the open vote, the administrator receives a corresponding warning when the vote is opened that the voting rights for this vote will remain unchanged.
In the same window, an email notification can then be sent to all voters about the new vote. This is of course optional.

If the function is activated and the email notification for the vote is also activated, newly added voters will automatically receive an email notification for votes that are already open. No new email notification will be sent for votes that are subsequently removed.
