    Bolstering canvass and registration efforts

    Each year we provide local authorities with electoral support products for election count processes and to bolster canvass and registration efforts.

    Managing the count

    We provide electoral support products to help manage the ballot paper count. This can range from security and the way ballot papers are counted, to ensuring everyone eligible gets the chance to vote on polling day.

    Grass skirts

    Grass skirts are our popular method for counting ballot paper votes where voters have the option to vote for one or more candidates. A council favourite, our effective and simple trackable count system is robust, affordable and avoids lengthy re-counts. We have small and large grass skirts to accommodate 25 ballot papers and 10 ballot papers across. We also have summary sheets to count grass skirt totals.

    Count sheets

    Our counting sheet system is an alternative method to grass skirts. It involves the manual transfer of candidate votes from the ballot paper to the counting sheet by marking the count sheet accordingly. Usually done in pairs, volunteers work together to transfer the votes/unused votes.

    We pride ourselves on our personal, consultative approach.

    Whether you need guidance on an upcoming ballot, want to streamline your communications, or just need honest advice, our team is here to help. With a reputation built on trust, service and delivery, we’re more than a just a provider.
