An alma mater of mine has just requested that ballots be cast for the Alumni Association Board, and the Overseers (two elections). They are using (for the first time that I’ve noticed) http://www.electionservicesco.com/pages/index.php

The votes that I cast went smoothly.

Their front page says:  “Since 1989, employee-owned, Election Services Co. has successfully administered over 8,900 elections for stockholders, credit unions, membership organizations, non-profit organizations, alumni associations, professional organizations, cooperatives, music awards, military organizations, pension and retirement funds.

ESC manages elections on behalf of its clients comprising of over fourteen million members annually.”

I have no idea what they charge. But I suspect that using them would avoid the need to write our own software, with all that might entail.
