“At my last town meeting, the clickers saved me. We had many motions with a 2/3 majority. With the TownVOTE system, it was calculated instantly even with over 1,000 people. In the past, these kinds of meetings would spill into many hours.”
— Lynne Girouard, Sturbridge, MA Town Clerk
“Ever since Meridia’s TownVOTE voting system replaced the hand and voice votes, when we livestream our business meeting, it makes it easy for councilors, staff and any members of the public to see and understand exactly how a councilor has voted and exactly what they are voting on. It adds so much clarity to the meetings, and it saves a lot of time over any voting confusion. The audience is especially pleased about the added accessibility features.”
— Hedi Mueller, Democracy Advisor, City of Wellington, New Zealand
“Just wanted you to know that everything went great! Thank you so much for your help these past few days. 32 articles and it was done in 1 hour! 😀 I never dreamed I’d be home for Monday night football, but I’m not complaining!”
— Laurie Stockley, Warren, MA Town Clerk
“Your TownVOTE system has been a game-changer for us. We used to have multiple 1.5hour-long meetings to vote on candidates, or approve change of rules. Now, we’re done in 40 minutes, including the discussion.”

Electronic Voting Systems
Electronic voting systems improve and accelerate collecting votes from your electorate or representatives in the legislative voting sessions. Our secure, offline, short-range RF, proprietary voting system doesn’t need internet and covers areas as large as 1,000 sq ft and collects hundreds of votes in seconds.
By combining voting clickers with advanced election software, you can quickly collect and aggregate responses, pass/reject motions, provide visual vote confirmation, and provide detailed participant reports for complete voter transparency. You’ll also be able to automate results reporting and with anonymous feedback, encourage honest answers. Our system allows for standard and custom quantum of votes, weighted voting, proxy voting, and can be customized for specific voting workflows.
Audience Response Clickers
Group response systems are integral to modern classrooms, corporate training, and live events. Electronic response systems increase student content retention, improve participant engagement by promoting interactivity, and reinforce the correct answers. Instructors utilize wireless audience response clickers or smartphones and tablets to communicate with learners and collect feedback on questions throughout a class, training or symposium. Student response system is a perfect tool to ask for candid and anonymous feedback from participants when reviewing the most sensitive of subjects.
Our software and hardware seamlessly integrates with PowerPoint, as well as the CloudVOTE Learning Content Management System, which you can connect to your own LMS, if needed.

Student and municipal governments, associations use it to elect their officials, and corporate trainers use classroom performance systems to stage interactive meeting games, and to educate on new products.
