Increase voter turnout
Achieving the highest possible voter turnout is a crucial goal for every democratic election as it lends legitimacy to the elected board. POLYAS Online Voting makes an important step in this direction due to time and location-independent voting that reduces critical barriers.
In our very busy daily lives, it can happen that we forget deadlines or miss emails. This is no problem for POLYAS Online Voting as you can send many reminders to the voters thanks to our reminder feature. It is important that you set things in motion even before the beginning of the election period.
If you would like to entrust the complete management of an online election in the hands of our voting experts and make use of POLYAS Service, simply ask for the reminder feature before the start of your online election.
Engage eligible voters
Research has regularly shown that the more informed the voters are about the vote, the likelier they are to exercise their right to vote. For this reason, send out reminders to vote summarizing once again the most important information about the vote. Incorporating the turnout thus far in the reminders will further motivate the voters. When the eligible voters see how many people have already voted, that induces a sense of community.
The language and form of address in the reminders should be carefully crafted. You can better reach out to the voters in numerous ways:
- Address the voter personally! “Dear …” works better than “Dear Sir / Madam”
- If you have different voter groups, formulate numerous voting reminders customized for each group.
- Communicate to the eligible voters that their participation is important
- Do not insinuate that the voter has forgotten to vote
- Clearly state once again when the election period ends
