Food Co-Op Online Voting FAQs

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.

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.
