Anonymous Online Voting: Can Votes Be Secret and Still Be Verifiable?

A secret ballot sounds simple when it is on paper. A voter receives a ballot, marks their choices in private, folds it, and puts it into a ballot box. Later, the votes are counted and the result can be scrutinised without revealing who voted for whom. Online voting is more complicated. An organisation still needs […]

ISO 27001 vs SOC 2 Type II: Why Vero Voting Has Both

When organisations choose an online voting provider, they often compare features first—electronic ballots, proxy voting, meeting integration or reporting. Those things matter. But before any vote is cast, there’s a more fundamental question: Can you trust the platform with your members’ data and your organisation’s most important decisions? Security certifications help answer that question. Yet […]

How SOC 2 Type II Protects Election Data

Why SOC 2 Type II Compliance Is Critical for Online Voting Platforms When members cast a vote in an AGM, board election, workplace ballot, union election, or association poll, they are trusting the organisation running that election with something extremely valuable: their voice. Behind every online vote sits a significant amount of sensitive information. Voter […]

Comparing Online Voting Software in Australia (2026 Buyer’s Guide) Choosing online voting software isn’t simply about replacing paper ballots with a digital alternative. The platform you choose becomes part of your organisation’s governance process.

Why Choosing an Accredited Online Voting Provider Matters More Than Ever

Every organisation wants its members to trust the outcome of an election. But trust isn’t built simply because voting happens online. It’s earned through transparency, security, independent oversight and proven processes. If you’ve ever received a voting link for an AGM, board election, enterprise agreement ballot or member poll, it’s worth asking a simple question […]

AGM Voting Software vs Microsoft Forms: Which Is Better for Australian Organisations?

Many organisations already use Microsoft 365, so it’s no surprise that Microsoft Forms is often the first tool people consider when planning an AGM vote. It’s familiar, quick to set up, and doesn’t appear to cost anything extra. For a simple staff survey, that’s perfectly reasonable. An Annual General Meeting, however, is a governance process—not […]

AGM Voting Software vs Zoom Polls: What’s the Difference?

Many organisations already use Zoom to host Annual General Meetings (AGMs), committee meetings and member briefings. It’s familiar, easy to join, and works well for presentations and discussions. A common question follows: “If we’re already using Zoom, can’t we just use its Poll feature for voting?” It’s a reasonable question—but the answer depends on what […]

AGM vs General Meeting: Understanding the Key Differences

After years working with committees, company secretaries and boards across Australia, I’ve seen plenty of confusion around meetings. People often use “general meeting” and “AGM” interchangeably, but they serve quite different purposes. Getting this right matters more than you might think—especially when compliance, member trust and smooth decision-making are on the line. What Is a […]

Electronic Voting vs Paper Ballots: What Works Best for Australian Organisations

After years helping committees run elections and member votes, I’ve seen both sides of the ballot box. Some organisations still swear by stacks of paper and manual counts. Others have switched to electronic systems and wonder how they ever managed without them. Neither approach is perfect, but understanding the real differences helps you choose what […]

How Online Voting Prevents Human Error

After two decades helping Australian organisations run member votes, I’ve seen the same problems crop up time and again with paper-based or manual processes. A misplaced proxy form. A tally sheet that doesn’t add up. Someone accidentally counting the same ballot twice. These aren’t dramatic failures — they’re the quiet, everyday mistakes that erode trust […]
