Food Co-Op Online Voting FAQs

Does SnapBallot support weighted voting for food co-ops?

Yes. If your co-op assigns voting weight based on membership level or ownership share, SnapBallot can automatically apply that structure to your elections so that your results reflect your bylaws.

How does SnapBallot support food co-op elections?

With SnapBallot, your co-op’s team can add voters, create a ballot, add candidates and voting options, and invite members by email. Members receive reminders and a secure voting link they can open to vote on any device. SnapBallot tracks turnout and protects anonymity throughout the election.

Can I use SnapBallot for more than board elections?

Yes. In addition to annual board elections, food co-ops use SnapBallot for bylaw amendments, member referendums, and more.

How does SnapBallot keep co-op votes anonymous?

SnapBallot distinguishes between voter participation and voter choice. Admins can see who voted, but never how individuals voted in a given election, empowering your members to vote on sensitive decisions with confidence.
