What Cooperative Leaders Say About Votem
Cooperatives that chose Votem's fully managed service report record member turnout and seamless AGM election management.
"The DOL came knocking six weeks after our officer election. Votem handed us a complete audit file the same day. The investigator closed the inquiry in two weeks. Without that documentation, we'd have been in serious trouble."
"We switched from a self-service platform after our 2021 election was challenged. The difference with Votem is night and day — they handle everything, the audit trail is automatic, and our NCUA examiner was satisfied on the first review."
"Votem ran our trustee election and our nomination process end-to-end. The nomination portal alone saved us three weeks of administrative work. Members could self-nominate, we could verify eligibility, and the whole record was preserved automatically."
