E-Meetings and Remote Voting

It’s crucial that board members can participate in the vote on important issues, regardless of their physical presence. Online voting is becoming increasingly popular among boards. To be successful, you must follow the proper procedures and rules for electronic meetings.

The traditional method of voting involves holding hands, or saying “yes” or “no” in person at a meeting or via videoconference or telephone. Many organizations also utilize software for managing boards that allows an efficient electronic voting system with high security. However, electronic voting can be insecure, and it could be difficult to ensure that your board members respond to the voting request in a timely manner.

If you would like your board members to be able to vote remotely and vote, they should be in a position to do so at a convenient time for them. You may also allow your board members to use their personal devices for voting if you have the proper technology in place.

To ensure that your members are provided with a safe and secure environment, you should utilize a board portal secured to protect sensitive information. You should also use an application that allows members to determine who is able to view their votes and who is able to view the votes of others. This reduces the risk of malicious or ill-intentional behaviour by individuals who are not part of your company.
