Getting Started

SnapBallot is commonly used by HOAs, food coops, associations, unions, sports clubs, and member‑based organizations that need a secure and accessible way to run elections or voting events.

Most elections can be set up in a short amount of time once your voter list and ballot details are ready. The platform is designed to guide admins through ballot creation, voter uploads, and email scheduling step by step.

Yes. Organizations can run multiple elections (separate fees apply) simultaneously or back‑to‑back, each with its own ballot, voter list, schedule, and reporting.

SnapBallot provides results reports, turnout summaries, voter participation logs, and downloadable data files. These reports are designed to support transparency while maintaining voter privacy.

SnapBallot is designed for online voting, so voters who need a paper ballot or don't have an email address should be left off the voter list you upload to SnapBallot. Manage those paper ballots separately, then combine the paper ballot results with your SnapBallot totals when calculating the final election results. If you need a third party to print, mail, receive, and tabulate paper ballots, Survey & Ballot Systems can help.

SnapBallot can supplement or replace in‑person or paper voting for organizations looking to increase accessibility, streamline administration, and reduce manual processing while still maintaining structured voting rules and reporting. Always confirm online voting is allowed in your bylaws before running an online only election.

There is no limit to the number of admins you can have in SnapBallot. Learn about the roles and details of Election and Organization admins in our FAQs.

Most organizations keep their election open for 15–21 days, though the appropriate voting period may vary based on your organization's bylaws or governing documents.
