Managing election processes can be challenging, but local authorities like Tendring District Council are demonstrating just how seamless it can be with the right tools. During the recent UK general election, they successfully implemented a cutting-edge system from Democracy Counts that made election day more efficient for both voters and the election team.
This video shows how the polling station experience can work for voters and staff alike:
Simplifying the Voting Process with QR Codes
One of the standout features of this system is the use of QR codes on polling cards. This simple yet powerful solution offers benefits for both voters and election staff:
For voters, the QR code links to a webpage providing polling station locations and opening hours, making it easier for them to find the right place to vote.
For election teams, it enables electronic register marking, speeding up the process and reducing errors at polling stations.
This innovative approach has made a significant impact by improving the overall flow of election day activities.
A User-Friendly, Efficient System for Election Management
The success at Tendring District Council highlights just how effective Democracy Counts' solution can be. With only a laptop and a scanner, election teams can easily manage polling stations, mark registers, and generate all necessary reports for statutory compliance. The system, powered by Authentic8 software, allows for:
Real-time reporting on election data
Seamless generation of ballot paper accounts and statutory reports
Elimination of paper-based processes, making everything digital and faster
The simplicity of this system means Presiding Officers can focus on managing the polling station rather than grappling with cumbersome paperwork.
Tried, Tested, and Ready for You
This solution has been tried and tested during the July UK general election, and it has proven its ability to handle election demands with ease. Whether your local authority is already working with Democracy Counts or you're considering a digital transformation, this is a system that can deliver real results.
