The Lorain County Association of Realtors® (LoCAR) recently held electronic voting for their Board of Directors, using an online voting application developed by Emerge.

The voting starts with an email sent to each Realtor, providing instructions and a link to the online ballot. When voting online, members are asked for their Realtor License number, this ensures that each member only votes one time.

Two separate secure databases are used. One keeps track of who has voted and to ensure anonymity, a separate database tracks the actual votes. As an added safeguard, an excel spreadsheet is generated that shows each vote cast and a timestamp. This enables a comparison with print copies of the votes.

Congratulations to recently elected LoCAR board members Tania Kegyes and Louise Woehrle.
