Why Manual Ballots Create Risk
Paper and email-based ballots rely on manual processes at every stage: creation, distribution, collection, counting, and record-keeping. Each step introduces opportunities for error, delays, and disputes.
Digital voting platforms eliminate these risks by automating ballot distribution, enforcing voting rules, and producing certified results with complete audit trails.
