What is Modern Polling?
Our secure SaaS (Software as a service) platform, Modern Polling, is a solution that enables our customers to meet their imminent legislative polling requirements and associated resource challenges. Modern Polling removes the complexities of polling for staff; the digital register automates the management of the franchise and all reporting, reducing the risk of human error and making election day easier for all staff.
Election Day Deployment
Modern Polling is designed to be simple and intuitive for Election Managers and their teams. It creates a standardised process for all polling station staff, and improves accuracy. It can also reduce the number of staff needed per station.
Data upload: Data upload from any Electoral Management System is a seamless, secure and user-friendly process.
Staff management: Staff changes are easy. Allocate, reallocate and remove staff from poll stations.
Faster Voter Check-in
The voter check-in system is easy to use and provides a faster, more friendly check in for the voter. Poll clerks find it more efficient and easier to use.
