Fewer than one postal ballot in six comes backand the rest take days to count by hand
iApp E-Voting lets members vote on a phone or computer, signing in with ThaiD or an OTP. Each ballot is encrypted on the member’s own device and decrypted in front of the committee on counting day, and it runs alongside postal ballots in the same election. The Council of Engineers counted the votes of 43,106 members on it in 2026.

The problem today
Postal elections are costly, slow and easy to dispute
A council has tens of thousands of members across the country. Postal ballots are printed, posted and awaited for weeks: at the Medical Council in 2025, 9,223 of 62,283 postal ballots came back, 14.8%. Counting by hand takes many people, and when the margin is a handful of votes, every step is questioned.
Ballots lost or never returned
Most postal ballots never come back
Days of hand counting
Counting day needs a large committee and staff
Results disputed
In a close race, any step that cannot be checked is the weak point

FAQ
Before you decide: professional councils
If the result is challenged in court, is electronic voting the weak point?
Past disputes over councils’ electronic elections have turned on rules that allowed e-voting without setting out the procedure. So every engagement starts with checking the council’s rules together, and the voting procedure is built to match what they say. The system keeps an audit log and has an auditor role for external reviewers.
Older members are not comfortable with phones
The Council of Engineers, the Nursing and Midwifery Council and the Medical Technology Council let members vote online or by post in the same election; the Nursing Council counted 16,633 online ballots together with 23,314 paper ones. Both channels are counted together, one ballot per member, and a help form and a support team answer members throughout the voting period.
Can anyone see who voted for whom?
Each ballot is encrypted on the voter’s device before it is sent, and kept apart from the voter list; the system records only that a member has voted. Ballots are decrypted only on counting day with the election’s own key, which the committee can make offline and hold in shares, and what is published is the total.
Can it take tens of thousands of members?
The Council of Engineers counted the votes of 43,106 members in a single counting day, and in the rehearsal beforehand the system decrypted 42,850 ballots in about 75 seconds. Before the polls open, we load-test to the council’s own membership.
Which standard does it meet?
iApp E-Voting is self-assessed against ETDA’s recommended standard ขมธอ. 26-2564 for electronic voting systems and listed on ETDA’s website, which is the mechanism ETDA uses for every electronic voting system.
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.

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