Run your nonprofit board votes without the paper packet.
Director elections, officer votes, bylaw amendments, and member-organization governance polls — secret ballots against your board roster, with turnout and tally for the minutes.
Board elections, officer votes, and bylaw amendments
Director elections at the annual meeting. Officer elections after the board seats. Bylaw amendment votes with a quorum requirement. All run as secret-ballot polls against your director or member roster — no paper packets, no DocuSign chains.
Anonymous ballots, visible turnout
OrgPoll separates who voted from what they voted for at the database level. The board chair can confirm quorum and turnout for the minutes without ever seeing how any individual director voted — by design.
One roster for every poll, all year
Your directors and voting members live in OrgPoll year-round. Add a new director when they're seated; they're eligible for every future vote automatically. No re-uploading the board list before each annual meeting.
How nonprofit board votes typically work with OrgPoll
Annual director election
At the annual meeting, the nominating committee presents the director slate. The secretary creates an Election poll with admin-defined candidates and opens it for the meeting window (typically same-day or a 48-hour close). Results visibility is set to AfterClose so the announcement happens at the moment the chair calls it. Turnout and tally drop straight into the minutes.
Between-meeting consent / officer vote
After the directors are seated, the board needs an officer vote (chair, treasurer, secretary) and frequently a single-issue director consent before the next quarterly meeting. Open a short Election poll, members vote remotely from anywhere they have a browser, and the result is on the record without scheduling a full meeting.
Bylaw amendment with a quorum check
A bylaw change requires more directors than a routine vote. Open a Survey or Election poll, set the close date to give every director time to weigh in, and use the turnout count to confirm quorum was met before the tally is final. The audit log shows when each director voted (not how) — enough for a clean record if the amendment is ever challenged.
Common questions
Can we record the vote outcome for our meeting minutes?
Yes. Every poll has a results view showing the tally and turnout once voting closes. You can copy the numbers into your minutes verbatim, and the audit log records when the poll opened, when it closed, and how many eligible voters participated — enough for a clean board record.
Can directors vote remotely between meetings?
Yes. Open a poll, set a close date, members vote from anywhere they have a browser. This is the standard pattern for between-meeting director consents and time-sensitive board votes that can't wait for the next quarterly meeting.
Is this for donor surveys and public polls?
No — OrgPoll is built for governance-level voting against a known roster (directors, voting members). Anyone voting needs to be an invited member with a sign-in. If you want to survey the general donor list or run a public-anonymous poll without sign-in, a general-purpose form tool is a better fit.
Is voting anonymous?
Yes. The database stores that a director voted on a given poll (to prevent double-voting), but it does not store which option they picked tied to their identity. See our security page for the schema-level detail.
Is your nonprofit running something we haven't covered?
If you're a 501(c)(3) board, member nonprofit, or association running director elections, bylaw votes, or governance polls and something here doesn't quite fit, we'd love to hear from you. Email hello@orgpoll.app and tell us how your board votes today.
