Led by a team of election experts with 50 years’ combined experience, we deliver a standalone cloud based electronic poll book, are fully compliant with The Elections Act 2022 and voter ID requirement and have been proven at scale during the May 2023 local government elections.In my role as CEO, I work closely with senior stakeholders across our customer base, ensuring that we are delivering solutions that make a difference. Government policies, legislation and security changes mean that there is a lot to consider when designing solutions to be used in the local government sector and the sensitivities around voting and polling day requirements cannot be underestimated.I have been working in this space now for 15+ years and am fully committed to making a huge difference for Election Managers, their teams and all of us as public voters.If you would like a further discussion on anything in this democratic space, please reach back to sdonaghy@moderndemocracy.com Show less
