## Reviews

### "Claver 297  Boatd Election" — 5.0/5

> **Charnette** | *6 January 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I was able to connect with an election buddy tech to help resolve my problems.   The technical staff was very efficient and knowledgeable.
> 
> **Cons**: I have no problems to present about Election Buddy.
> 
> My Organizations's Boatd Election  went smoothly as a result of technical support assistance.

### "The Best Online Election Software" — 5.0/5

> **Margaret** | *2 October 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ElectionBuddy makes online voting simple.  It is secure, a good value for the money, and provides results immediately after the close of the election.  If you get stuck, there is support who will get your problem fixed.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing I don't like about ElectionBuddy. It is software that really works\!  It does force you to be careful about uploading your voting list.  Have an extra space or a stray comma, then your election is suspended until it is fixed.
> 
> I've been using ElectionBuddy with various organizations since 2023. Eveyone has loved how attractive, simple and transparent the elections were. I can't imagine going back to paper ballots again.

### "We love Election Buddy" — 5.0/5

> **Ludwina** | *29 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really like being able to run unlimited Test Votes. Initially, the large number of items which require a selection to finally get to a ballot is somewhat overwhelming. Knowing that the unlimited tries with the Test Ballot is available relaxed me greatly. I eventually created twenty one test ballots before going live with our Annual Election Ballot. 

Additionally, the HELP windows are easy to understand and have answered everything for me.
> 
> **Cons**: Proxy Voting requiring names of owners to be displayed. I would prefer fill-in. We have some owners that have “redacted from public record” identities.
> 
> Love Election Buddy. Easy to navigate. Titles are clear and options are simple. Affordable for a small HOA.

### "Not worth the purchase for professional users." — 3.0/5

> **Nery** | *5 September 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software worked as it should. If you are doing the more basic service I think this is for you. I don't think they are that great for professional users.
> 
> **Cons**: The follow up was not great. I showed interest on the \[sensitive content hidden\] and I did not get it set up finally till \[sensitive content hidden\] (I was hoping for a week turn around). 

Once I did get it set up, they did not send out all the notification reminders I had paid for. It was not till the end that, I realized it had happened.
> 
> mediocre. I wish I had went with VoteHOA instead. at first there pricing is higher, but if you were paying for the consulting, the pricing ends up being the same.

### "Voting Summary" — 5.0/5

> **Michael** | *13 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ease of use, costs and results...setting up a vote was simple and the tool had many good options to use.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing comes to mind....it was really easy to use.
> 
> enjoyed using this and it worked well.
