Secure Voting
Secure Voting Options
All service and pricing plans with Motion include unlimited Secure Voting. You can run as many votes as you need with as many voters as required. No other system in the world offers this.
In-Meeting Voting
Some organizations require attendance at a meeting to allow members or stakeholders to vote, which needs to happen in real-time. Our Secure Meetings are designed for this situation.
Online and Extended Window Voting
A voting timeframe can be set and voters can cast their ballots at anytime. A meeting can be set within that timeframe and Motion will track who has voted, whether in the meeting or online. Results can be shared with voters once the vote has ended.
Open Meetings
Looking for a day-to-day meeting system for your team? You don’t need other meetings systems for different applications. Motion offers an open, unsecure video conferencing system with every monthly or annual package.
Features
For both secure in-meeting and online voting, there are multiple methods of voting included with Motion.
Plurality
Plurality voting is simply the option with the largest number of responses wins. This voting type elects a single winner and is commonly referred to as ‘first past the post’.
Single Transferrable
Single Transferrable Voting (STV) is a form of ranked ballot where your one vote is transferred if the first round of voting does not produce a outright winner (over 50%). If your first choice comes last in the first round of voting and is dropped, your vote is transferred to your second choice. This transfer takes place until one option receives more than 50%.
Multi-Winner
Multi-winner ballots allow voters to select multiple options where there are multiple openings. For example, if you have eleven candidates for five open positions for a committee, voters can select up to five candidates. They can either choose all five or up to five, depending on the organization’s bylaws.
Majority
(coming soon) Majority voting allows you to set a minimum threshold for your vote. For example, if your bylaws require an over 50% result, you can set a threshold of 50% for the system to select a winner. Or if you are amending your constitution, that threshold may need to be set to 2/3 or 3/4 majority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Detailed, auditable, sharable results reporting
Motion’s All-in-One meeting and voting solution allows members and stakeholders to connect online, by phone, or in-person. This is the perfect choice for secure, compliant hybrid meetings that require voting.
What is your All-in-One Meeting and Voting solution?
An Open meeting is a typical video conference for a few people who need to connect with each other, share links, send invitations, collaborate, etc. Secure meetings are meetings that require voting or that need a level or security due to confidential information. For secure meetings Motion generates a unique link for each attendee that cannot be shared. This unique link also serves as the attendee’s secure voting credential. Attendees cannot have more than one active session at a time.
Can you handle a regular online vote outside of a meeting?
Yes. Motion also offers Online Voting at no charge for monthly and annual subscribers. This is your standard vote or survey that your members or stakeholders need to complete to, for example, elect positions within your organization, provide priorities for the next round of bargaining or approve a new contract. The Online Voting is free and has no limit on usage or size of your audience.
What are your privacy and data management practices?
Customer data are stored on secure servers located in your country of origin. For US and Canadian customers, data storage and processing are subject to the respective data and privacy regulations of each jurisdiction. We are working on compliance with European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) as the standard for our system to be applied in all jurisdictions once completed, in addition to any specific state / provincial regulations as required.
What security measures do you have in place?
We conduct frequent penetration testing across the Motion platform to remedy any security gaps that arise. Clients can also opt-in to enable two-factor authentication for their administrators and secure meetings.
