Deferred voting software

A delayed vote is a digital process in which the start and end times are programmed in advance. Unlike real-time voting, in this format the participants can cast their vote at any time within the established schedule, without having to coincide all at the same time. If the vote includes several questions, they are all answered in a single session.

This type of voting is mainly used in elections and consultations, where deliberation and debate take place in the days before, during the campaign. Once the voting period is over, the results can be displayed immediately (or even during the process, if so decided by the administrator).

The advantages of this type of voting are as follows:

• Time flexibility: each participant can vote when it is most convenient for him/her within the established time frame, which facilitates participation without depending on a specific time.
• Convenience and accessibility: by being able to vote from any place and device connected to the Internet, the participation of a greater number of people is guaranteed, without geographical or agenda limitations.
• Planning and control: by being scheduled in advance, deferred voting allows for better organization of the process and more predictable management for administrators.
• Immediate and reliable results: once the voting period is closed, the results are generated automatically, reducing errors and speeding up the communication of the final data.
• Suitability for electoral processes: this format is ideal for elections and consultations where the debate has already taken place and an orderly, secure and high turnout voting process is sought.

The main difference between deferred voting and real-time voting is the time at which participants cast their vote. In deferred voting, users can vote during a set period without needing to vote simultaneously. Real-time voting requires all participants to vote at the same time, making it ideal for live meetings or assemblies. Both options can be easily managed through the Kuorum platform depending on the organization’s needs.

All persons included in the electoral roll defined by the organization can participate in a deferred vote. This census can be easily uploaded in Excel or CSV format, incorporating only the data necessary to identify each voter according to the electronic identification regulations.

In addition, the platform allows to manage the voting permissions If a member has left the organization or does not meet the requirements (e.g. has not paid the fee), he/she can be included in the census without voting permissions and be activated later with a single click when his/her situation is regularized.

In this way, only authorized persons can participate, guaranteeing a secure, transparent process that complies with the internal rules of each organization.
