NISC Partners with Survey & Ballot Systems to Form Online Process for Board of Directors Nominations
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) August 27, 2013 -- Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS), a leading provider of election services and secure Internet voting systems, and National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC), an industry leading cooperative that supplies information technology solutions, proudly announce the launch of a new online nominating system for NISC Board of Directors.
The web process, scheduled to launch in October of 2013, is designed to replace on-site voting that previously occurred at regional NISC caucuses. SBS, a provider of co-op election and voting services, was selected to create the customized system based on its track record with serving the cooperative community.
“As a technology company, NISC is always on the lookout for ways we can use technology to better serve and improve efficiencies for our members” states Vern Dosch, Chief Executive Officer at NISC. “After much discussion and marketplace evaluation, we believe that our goal of increased member participation in Director Nominations can be achieved by using electronic balloting. To ensure the process is to be conducted independently, utilizing proven technology in balloting and security, NISC has partnered with SBS. The electronic voting process will provide all NISC voting members with candidate information, convenience and the ability to participate in the process without the added expense of travel and time away from the office.”
NISC members seeking nomination for the board have until September 15, 2013 to submit their names as candidates. Ballot information will be made available to eligible voting members on or before October 15, 2013.
