NAACP Utilizes Meridia's Electronic Voting Clickers Again During Their 114th Annual Convention
MALVERN, Pa. (PRWEB) August 09, 2023 -- Just like last year in Atlantic City, NJ Meridia’s electronic voting clickers replaced a longstanding tradition of paper ballots and manual vote-counting from yesteryears. The week-long event ran from July 28th to August 1st in Boston, covering issues like LGBTQ+ rights, Gun Control, Environmental Protection, Police Training and many other hot-button topics.
Vote-counting was handled entirely by Meridia’s TownVOTE software and keypads, which were used during the voting session on Monday, July 31st. The system’s implementation allowed delegates to vote with a simple press of a Yes, No, or Abstain button and interpret their results with a higher level of speed and accuracy.
With over 1,300 participants in attendance during the Resolutions Plenary Session, the convention was one of Meridia’s largest events of the year. Meridia covered the entire space with their unique RF signal and Meridia technicians provided technical and logistical support from the training, logistics, equipment setup and testing, to operation of the voting software.
After an initial test vote, the official vote was shortly underway. The flexibility of TownVOTE allowed Meridia technicians to quickly adapt to the shifting structure of the meeting as new proposals and amendments were brought up, making the event completely seamless despite several unexpected votes taking place throughout the session.
With TownVOTE software automatically counting each vote, voting members were able to skip the time-consuming process of manually counting paper ballots, or the unclear counting of “yea” and “nay” voice votes, achieving a clear result instantaneously after the end of the voting period.
