Introducing Simply Voting

This is the software used by Central Alberta Co-op Ltd. to conduct online voting. It makes voting more convenient, less costly and friendlier on the environment.

How Simply Voting Works

1. Click on the Home link above to get back to the welcome page. Then, submit your Member Number, Date of Birth and Last Name (Or Business Name).
2. If your login was successful, you will be shown a menu listing all current ballots in which you are eligible to vote. If you have not yet voted, you may click on the ballot name and an electronic ballot will appear.
3. Once you submit a ballot, the results are encrypted and stored in a database. Your Member Number is then flagged as "voted" and you will not be eligible to vote on this ballot again.Proxy voting is not allowed. All voter activity is logged with a timestamp and IP address to ensure the integrity of the election.

Privacy and Security

Simply Voting was designed from the ground-up to minimize the risk of electoral fraud. Voters who bypass authentication or have already voted are denied access to the ballot, and ballots are checked for validity before being accepted. Nobody could ever find out what a particular voter has voted as the results are stored anonymously.
