Ideas about online voting...
I think the current implementation of HOA Express could be used to support this feature...
Using a custom form to create a ballot would allow the use of a GUID as the verifier for a vote. The member would be mailed (USPS) a GUID (or some other unique hash) a few weeks prior to online voting, and the custom form could be used for each vote which would record the voter, their vote, and their GUID. I think this would satisfy many (if not all) HOA rules for online voting.
The cost would be members x mailed letters with unique GUID to each address. I see that HOA express already has a mailing feature, so for admin convenience, it would be nice to be able to generate a GUID for each mailed letter. If not, this is something the HOA's could do - the admins could create a GUID for each address, then mail-merge a letter and have it mailed.

Forced anonymity makes surveys useless many legit HOA purposes. Trying to create a fishing survey for our community and the respondent is asked if they can be contacted for follow-up questions.
HOAE doesn't have to support voting, but crippling the surveys to try to prevent use for voting is overstepping your bounds and doing a disservice to the communities that you're supposed to support.

Implement an official online voting feature. Most if not all other HOA platforms do.

Provide the ability to vote online via the website.

Please add this feature. In Arizona the absentee ballot must be signed with voter address and printed name included. Hence, no corruption.

Reading some of the comments, many requests to have the capability for online voting would be an excellent tool we are a small user of 77 homes within our HOA, this would help streamline the process. We are just in transition to take over from the developed and we need to elect board members, update policies that need to be approved by homeowners. This would help now and into the future a great tool!

Disappointed that online voting for HOA business is not being considered. I can appreciate the worry of hacking, security and all the other internet crime. That being said, we have all the private and personal information about our homeowners. We use the website to separate the authorized owner from the rest of the world and current our HOA is spending an extremely large sum to do it the "old fashioned way". Print forms, stuff them into mailings with return envelopes and postage both ways. And the largest fee of analyzing the results. In addition to the large fee, we get very low results.
Please reconsider your stand on this issue.

Roy Ulrich: To clarify, our team is considering providing the capability for online voting! I've merged this feature request with the post we already had open, so we can consider them together.

Please, any word on if HOA Express will implement official online voting? We would love to see it!

Steph Hewlett: While we don't have an estimated timeframe for this yet, we are still considering developing this feature! Your phone has been added to this post, so you'll be notified when we update its status.

When a member logs-in, within the "welcome tab" can you include a member passkey for voting privileges with an electronic transmission to the created HOA Express voting system.
