Community Inclusion Made Easy
System Customisation Options
We enable communities to see Projects, Polls and Policies, ask questions and clarify preferences.
Each system is very customisable, with the colours, logo, heading and web-address etc, and the ability to enable or disable available sections including Projects, Polls and Policies.
The registration process can either require admin to first approve each registration manually or approve most registrations automatically by matching details with a database of constituents, or admin can enable instant registration and participation with easy ability to review activity and suspend any suspicious accounts retrospectively including comments and votes etc.
Live Community Voting Systems
Brisbane, Gabba
Community Voting Systems was originally created in 2016, to support Cr Jonathan Sri's desire to better include, consider and represent all of the Gabba community. Recently we've upgraded this system to enable preferential voting and to enable public viewing of any community voting changes in real-time without needing to refresh pages.
Brisbane, Morningside
With recent advancements to Community Voting Systems, and proven performance over recent years with the Gabba, Cr Kara Cook decided in 2021 to also enable the Morningside community with a clearer sense of community development options and with live-voting ability, enabling her to better include, consider and represent all of her constituents.
