Owner's guide to
electronic voting

The strata industry is continuing to become increasingly modernised with a demand for simpler and more efficient processes and systems. Electronic voting is becoming an essential capability for strata management companies as a way to provide owners with a convenient alternative to in-person voting and eliminates the inconvenience of physical meeting attendance.

Why choose
electronic voting?

Encourage participation

Electronic voting makes it easier for all owners to participate, regardless of their location. Whether interstate, overseas, or juggling a busy schedule, owners can cast their votes without appointing a proxy or attending in person.

Avoid travel hassles

Electronic voting eliminates the need to navigate peak-hour traffic to attend meetings, especially if you own property in a different state than where you live or work. It’s a stress-free way to stay involved in your strata scheme’s decisions.

Flexible and inclusive

Electronic voting offers a solution that accommodates everyone. It ensures that no one is excluded from the decision-making process due to logistical barriers, creating a more inclusive and active strata community.

Reliable record-keeping

Digital voting ensures accurate results and securely stores voting records in one centralised location. This makes it easier for strata managers and executive committees to review past decisions and maintain transparency.

How we make
electronic voting easy.

  • Set clear expiry dates for voting periods, so deadlines are communicated to everyone.
  • Send voting options to all owners or only to executive committee members, depending on the decision required.
  • Automatically save all voting records in C-Hub for easy access by strata managers.
  • With Civium’s electronic voting tools, your strata scheme benefits from transparency, efficiency, and convenience.
