The software has been EXTREMELY easy to use and has helped us engage our staff in mandatory training sessions. PowerPoint presentations are now interactive and sometimes competitive, and the system allows me to see learning gaps I need to address with our employees. I can’t say enough good about this product!

Choose How to Engage Your Audience
Using an interactive polling app should be easy and intuitive. That’s why the Dashboard gives users the power to select how they want to poll and then quickly guides them to the simplest tool available. Whether it’s polling in PowerPoint, polling over Prezi or video, using mobile devices, playing animated team games, conducting an election or town hall voting event, EZ-VOTE Connect provides a one-stop-shop solution for all your needs.
Powerful PowerPoint Plugin
EZ-VOTE is a free audience response system 100% integrated into Microsoft’s PowerPoint presentation platform. It was designed by the training and education community with a focus on ease of use. Interactive slides can be inserted or converted with a single click of the mouse. Quickly enhance your old and new content with interactive questions. EZ-VOTE works with all 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, and 365 versions of Office and is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11.
Voting at Business Meetings
City councils, Massachusetts towns, and student governments save time and money by using electronic voting and eliminating paper ballots, and hand or voice votes. In TownVOTE, our e-voting system, a motion can be created with just a keystroke and voting results are displayed in real time and color-coded for clarity and accuracy.
(No App) Mobile Polling
No app is needed! Use any device with a web browser (phones/tablets or computers) to respond to questions with our CloudVOTE service. EZ-VOTE Connect fully integrates with CloudVOTE, syncing your content to the desktop for offline use, allowing keypad and mobile audiences to respond to content simultaneously, send free-form messages, and push content to mobile devices.
Animated Team Games
The EZ-VOTE Game Suite utilizes popular game show templates (AKA Jeopardy) and animations to quickly create fun and exciting team competitions. All PowerPoint polling tools allow for team scoring, but only Game Suite supplies you with pre-templated game boards, animated graphics, and sound effects to make the game come alive as quickly and simply as possible.
E-Z Anywhere Polling
EZ-VOTE Anywhere – our anywhere polling tool allows users to poll using any application that can run on a desktop or through a browser. EZ-VOTE Anywhere is perfect for creating interactive Prezi presentations, running lessons with Google Slides, or asking questions during a live video presentation. The software simply overlays polling and graph results over the content and graphics displayed by your desktop and takes a screenshot of the background for future reference.
Multi-Site/Hybrid Meetings
EZ-VOTE Connect allows you to “connect” all of your locations and all of your participants to a single polling session, like VA Farm Bureau did. Participants in the room can use keypads, and remote/Zoom users can use mobile devices, or computers to connect to session delivered through our CloudVOTE service. Never before has it been easier to pair remote participants with local participants.
Offline Polling When You Need It
None of our desktop applications require internet connectivity to run. Our session data is aggregated across each of the voting apps and stored locally for easy access. The system is always available, even when connectivity is limited. Our system is guaranteed to perform even when the internet is not.
Cloud Convenience When You Want It
EZ-VOTE Connect integrates seamlessly with our mobile polling platform, CloudVOTE. It allows keypads and mobile devices to be used simultaneously. Local reports can be synced with the cloud and polling content centrally stored online and pushed down to individual polling locations.
