"Pure Dead Brilliant"

Inverclyde Council

“I can’t recommend Democracy Counts more, their service was proactive, professional and comprehensive and I look forward to working with them again.

Knowing that Democracy Counts deal with preventing fraud and enhancing security for the Council elections, I would say that this puts them in a good place to deliver on any Youth Elections, and the fact that the Youth Council members involved were impressed with how easy it was to use. "

Aberdeen City

"Excellent Products - Upgrades & new releases activated in minutes, clear, precise, dependable. An invaluable tool for managing this growing area of election processes. The only thing better is the Customer service which backs it up.

"Every customer is valued, a real 24/7 service where the contractor understands your needs and delivers first time every time. Great products backed by magnificent service & experience - a winning combination"

East Dunbartonshire

"Using the Electorscan software to verify postal votes, we successfully verified just under 20,000 postal votes at the recent General Election. The system is efficient, reliable and is easily understood by staff. The success of the software, was a key component in our ability to keep on top of each days delivery and finish the verification process in full by the end of each day. What makes this product so valuable is the support behind it. Using Electorscan means we work with a team of people at Democracy Counts who want to hear our comments and suggestions and who want to keep improving the product. The software gets better after every election for this reason. I have no doubt that the next time I am using Electorscan in a live situation, I will be taking advantage of the next round of improvements - ideas that have come straight from the users.

The Customer Service delivered by the Democracy Counts team is truly exceptional. They listen, understand and act quickly. They understand elections and the pressures on election staff. This is priceless when faced with high pressure situations during an election. Making things easy for customers and finding a way to get things done the way customers want them done appears to be their guiding principals."

Aberdeen City

" We have used Elector Scan to manage the return of postal votes at a number of elections and are delighted with it. The customer service from Democracy Counts is first class and expert technical support is always available when required."

Aberdeenshire Council

"As ever, you produced: excellent products; comprehensive reporting; a full audit trail, and outstanding 360⁰ support. You certainly reduced the strain of election night."

Renfrewshire Council
