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.
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.
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.

Yes, other than the publily displayed information such as constituant names next to comments, all personal information is confidentially encrypted on a secured web server for use only by the admin accounts created for community-leaders (clients), and by admin-authorised representatives.
Admin and representative accounts may see and export the profile information of all account creators, including contact details, join date, recent sign-in date and IP address etc, however may not view the individual votes of any account creators so as to honor standard voter-confidentiality.
Our Service Level Agreement provides more sense of of our intentions and implemented processes to secure and safeguard personal data.
We can configure and customise a securely hosted system and have it ready for live access within 5 business days. Some customers do require more time though to view and sign our Service Level Agreement, to provide required data and to process invoices before public launch.

After referring three active communities of similar or larger size, or equivalent smaller communities, we can afford to provide you with free hosting and support, otherwise we can provide partial discounts for fewer than three equivalent active referrals.
No that is not necessary as we can configure and host the system and you can just access and share a custom webpage address we provide.
If you do have access to your website domain and server, then we can also support more of a seamless experience with a new navigation tab on your website’s primary menu and you can use a domain of your choice e.g. “http://Voting.YourExistingWebsite.com”
