iApp E-Voting opens an online vote over several days. Members get the link by SMS, email or QR code and sign in with an OTP or their member number; each ballot is encrypted on the member’s own device, and every member can check their ballot with a receipt number. It is the system the Association of Siamese Architects uses to elect its president.

The problem today

An election at the general meeting hears only those who could come

Most members work in other provinces or are busy on the day of the general meeting, so the vote is cast by the few who can travel. A postal ballot means printing, posting, waiting and counting by hand, which is hard for an association with a small office.

Members must travel

Members outside Bangkok rarely get to vote

Paper work

Printing, posting, receiving and counting, with a small office

Members doubt the result

Members have no way to check their ballot was counted

What iApp E-Voting does for you

A vote open for days

FAQ

Before you decide: professional associations

Our association has no IT team

You do not need one. iApp sets up the election, imports the member list, sends the links, runs the system while the polls are open and supports the committee on counting day. The Association of Siamese Architects has used it to elect its president for more than one term.

Our bylaws say the election happens at the general meeting

A vote inside a meeting held electronically is allowed under the 2020 Emergency Decree on Electronic Meetings. A remote vote open over several days should be set out in the bylaws. We review the bylaws with you before starting so the system follows them; legal interpretation should be confirmed with the association’s own adviser.

Is it too expensive for a small association?

From 75,000 THB for 1,000 eligible voters over three days, including email and 5,000 SMS. Set that against printing ballots, postage both ways, staff and a hand count; and once the scope is agreed there are no hidden costs.

How will a member know their ballot counted?

After voting, each member gets a receipt number and QR code. On the status page they can see that the ballot was received, and on counting day that it was decrypted for the count.

About iApp E-Voting

Does it meet ETDA’s standard?

iApp E-Voting is self-assessed against ETDA’s recommended standard ขมธอ. 26-2564 (version 2.0) for electronic voting systems and listed on ETDA’s website. Self-assessment is the mechanism ETDA uses for every electronic voting system; it does not certify the result of any particular election.

Can iApp see who voted for whom?

Ballots are encrypted on the voter’s device and kept apart from the list. We recommend the committee makes the decryption key offline and splits it among its members, so ballots can be decrypted only when they bring the shares together on counting day, before the committee.

How far ahead should we start?

Start at least a month before the polls open, to check the rules, import the list, inform members, rehearse and load-test. With postal ballots as well, start earlier.

What if something goes wrong while the polls are open?

iApp’s team watches the system throughout the voting period and it scales with demand. If it is down, we extend voting by the same time at no extra cost, where your rules allow.

Our guarantee

Rehearsed before the day, and with you until the count is done

An election that goes wrong costs the committee its credibility, so we carry the risk on our side.

Rules checked first

Before you sign, we review your rules and propose a matching procedure, at no charge

A full rehearsal

Voting, key-making and counting rehearsed with the committee; if the rehearsal misses the agreed criteria, cancel at no cost

Down time made up

If the system is down while the polls are open, we extend voting by the same time at no extra cost, where your rules allow

A team on duty

iApp’s team runs the system and answers members throughout the voting period, and is there on counting day

Why iApp

An election platform iApp built itself, already used for statutory council elections

Built in-house

iApp’s Thai team designs, builds and runs it, and fits it to each organisation’s rules

Standard ขมธอ. 26-2564

Self-assessed against ETDA’s recommended standard for electronic voting systems, and listed on ETDA’s website

Proven with statutory councils
