Key features include customizable ballots, real-time results, weighted voting, secret ballots, and support for up to 100,000 voters. Its pricing starts from $0 (20 voters) to $299 for 2,500 voters, with custom enterprise options. Compared to alternatives like Simply Voting or eBallot, ElectionBuddy excels in simplicity, affordability, and robust support but may require premium plans for advanced features.

It offers flexible self-administration and full-service vote management, ensuring accurate, auditable results. Pricing starts at $4.99/month for 50 voters, with additional plans for complex needs. While it excels in simplicity and affordability, it’s less feature-rich compared to tools like ElectionBuddy or SurveyMonkey.
