Administrative Assistant I, The University of Memphis
“The keypads simplified our voting process by significant minutes. What used to be us counting hands and doing recounts to make sure we didn't miss anyone; and making sure that everyone had the same count is now just a few presses of a button. The set up isn't difficult or long and with the tutorial it's easy to operate. ”

“Utilizing Meridia voting systems was one of the best decision we have made. We were accustomed to voting by paper ballots which had its challenges both with time and anonymity. The electronic voting system cut down our voting time greatly, provided voters anonymity, and was very cost effective. The service Meridia provided was amazing and very professional. I highly recommend the use of this company for you voting needs.”

“Hand counts are tedious and prone to errors. Voice votes are even riskier. Our citizens are praising the change and appreciate the accuracy, speed, and voter privacy at our town meetings.”

“We were referred to you from the County Clerk at Chippewa County, who loved your system. We were deciding to upgrade our current system, but the cost of the upgrade was in upwards of $10,000 and then a $3,600/year licensing fee beyond that. I just wanted to count votes. The Meridia system is a nice, standalone system. All my county board supervisors like it a lot. It’s much easier for them. Most of the members are elderly, and beyond, so ease of use is HUGE for us!”

“It has been simple for the board members to use and a few of the enhancements that have been made over the past couple years has made it easier to see the info on the screen.”

Andria Farrand
County Clerk, Taylor County, WI
“I got great feedback from several of the County Board Supervisors that loved it! Everyone voted their opinion instead of following along with others. We used a manual process for a roll call vote before; I would call the name and they would vote. I’m very pleased with the TownVOTE system and it will only get easier to use from here.”

“Our electronic voting went very smoothly, with fast and accurate results, and our delegates had no problems using the keypads. We were able to shave a full day off of our Synod schedule by using the Meridia voting system.”

“One of the benefits of the voting system is the quick results, this has really saved us a lot of time during our meetings. The ‘old ways’ – not very long ago – included counting votes by hand and misunderstanding the motion language. Now, being able to project the motion language and get the instant results has been a great asset during our meetings!”

“The biggest benefit from having this system is I feel we are getting a true vote every time now. People are not afraid of their neighbor seeing or hearing how they voted. We do use it for every article, which saves a lot of time. No more queuing up to cast a secret ballot! I love that results are immediate and the audience sees them in real time.”

“The main factor was how quickly it was to get the results of each vote since it was done electronically. This was the first time doing it in that manner so instead of taking two full days going past 6pm, we were done in one day before 5. That was definitely something everyone appreciated. People felt confident about the results and the devices were easy to use. We did some test runs at the beginning to get everyone comfortable with the system and it was overall very successful.”

The software is very easy to use and the support after the sale is beyond belief. Tech Support took the time after resolving my issue to maximize my use of the software by providing an impromptu tour and setup of the voting application, gave me several suggestions to optimize its performance. On another occasion, when I left a voicemail on the Support line at 6:30am, I received a callback in 5 minutes and they calmly walked me through the solution to my problem.
If you go with Meridia in your next audience response/electronic voting purchase, you will get a product that works and support that is the best I've ever worked with.

Today was an absolute dream! We had 30 nominees and had to pick 27 of them using the clickers. What normally takes hours on paper, took 45 minutes with the clickers! We can’t thank you enough!

Your voting system was such a joy to use. Compared to the 'old ways', it was much less stress for me, much quicker for the voters, and I love the comprehensive reporting!

Town Administrator, Town of Lee
We are a representative government, so we show how each representative voted instantly after the vote was closed, which saves a lot of time manually counting each vote. We also no longer have to vote for "Yea" and "Nay" separately. Our constituents like that they can see (in-person or over Zoom/broadcast) how their rep voted and whether they represent them well.

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.

Meridia clickers are easy to use, and their software can be operated effectively. We export the data and make it work with our proprietary software back at the State House. Meridia’s pricing, training, and support are wonderful, and I am glad to have worked with them.

The use of an electronic voting system helps us process the full markup votes among the 50+ members — accurately — in less than two minutes. By comparison, it used to take us 10 minutes to vote on a single item.

TownVOTE has been great! We needed something straightforward and simple for a single purpose and this was it! Support was been great and we haven’t needed to even change a battery in three years!

Meridia’s electronic voting technology has been used during our annual election since 2008. The system is reliable, fast, and auditable. Our election ranges from 3,000 – 5,000 attendees and the voting technology routinely collects each and every vote, while also allowing us to restrict certain blocks of the audience when they are not allowed to participate.

The NAA has used the Meridia electronic election system for the past three years of our annual election of our Board of Directors. The validity of the election results is critical to both the NAA staff and to our members and your system has never failed us. Your voting system has allowed us to streamline our election process and reduce the timing of our business meeting which has always been a struggle, especially when faced with a run-off situation of an open position.

I purchased Meridia’s EZ-VOTE system and used it at our Fall Town Hall Meeting. It went very well. Everyone there loved it! I didn’t receive one complaint. I have given Meridia’s information out to several other communities and would highly recommend their system for any live voting event.

The clickers we bought are so helpful when it comes to voting during our meeting. Meridia Support has been super helpful with any questions that I have had and has helped get me the new updated version of the software.

The Meridia EZ-VOTE system is excellent. Our board members are regularly bragging to other sites who still use raised hand tallies.
