Buyer evaluation
What should an election buyer ask each provider?
A useful comparison starts with the election—not a generic feature checklist. Give each provider the same rules, voter scenario, documentation needs, and acceptance tests, then ask for written answers and evidence.
- Which voting channels, service model, and election timeline are included for this election?
- Which governing-document, accessibility, security, records, and support requirements must the provider address?
- What implementation work is included, excluded, or subject to custom scope?
- Which election records, reports, and result-delivery materials will be available to the organization?
Use Votem’s election services RFP checklist to turn those questions into a written evaluation process.
