Advantages


  1. Our association is growing in numbers and in faster pace than before. It's good to be having a system in place instead of waiting for a critical mass of members are reached and then search for online voting methods.
  2. Eariler GB discussions talked about pricing being steep, but as is common on software/online methods, prices are bound to be reduced year by year
  3. Precious conference time spent voting instead of academics with long queues.
  4. Difficulties in conducting manual elections.
  5. Anyone not attending an annual conference due to some reason or other, shouldn't be deprived of his/her democratic right to participate in an election and exercise their choice
  6. Any cost incurred to facilitate this exercising of fundamental right is probably can't be termed expensive. (But all efforts should be made to find a solution as economic as possible)
  7. In online mode, members will have enough time to consider merits of the candidate as there will be no last minute nominations.

Investigation going on
