Greetings! In 2024, Pilera introduced its partnership with Ballot Bliss to bring secure and efficient online voting to the community association industry. This month, we have several exciting new updates to share about the ballot feature, including new ballot invites, a revamped results section, and much more! Keep reading to learn more about these new updates!
Ballot Invites
Increasing participation in your community elections just got easier! Managers can now send out Ballot Invites for a specific election or vote directly through the Send Announcement or Send Message feature. The email content is fully customizable and includes a secure link and code, allowing residents to cast their votes easily.
Send Ballot Invites to Non-Voters
When voting is underway, reminding residents who haven’t participated is essential. Our latest feature enables managers to send automated reminders, ensuring more votes are cast and improving your community’s chances of meeting quorum.
Guest Voting
In response to our clients’ requests, we are excited to introduce Guest Voting! This new feature brings convenience and security to your community’s elections, surveys, and votes. Now, residents can securely cast their vote from a Ballot Invite using a unique link and code – without needing to log in. The code is valid up to five times or until they vote. After voting, residents can log in or sign up for a resident portal account to stay updated, request services, and connect with their community anytime.
Redesigned Results
We’ve revamped the results section based on our client’s feedback, making tracking and analyzing voting trends easier.
- Charts & Results – In the December 2024 release, we introduced a variety of charts and a comprehensive results table. In this release, we’ve improved the charts to include information such as the total unit weight.
- Participation – Quickly see who has voted, who hasn’t voted, and access the full voter base. You can download a summary or detailed report for offline use and analysis.
Terms of Service
Now, managers can require residents to agree to custom Terms of Service before voting. A built-in rich text editor makes it easy to create agreements tailored to community rules, CC&Rs, or local regulations.
Improved clarity of results and participation settings
We’ve improved the wording of the settings related to displaying results and participation details. This will help managing the community’s voting settings more clear for our clients.
