Run your county convention like the pros.
Then prove the result.
Check-in, credentialing, every kind of vote and election, the big screen, and a result anyone can check, all on one record. Built for the room, not a spreadsheet.
The fire drill every county chair knows
None of it is anyone's fault. It's just what happens when the tools are paper, a spreadsheet, and a folding table.
Check-in lines
Paper credential lists, a folding table, and a line out the door while the clock runs.
Paper ballots
Hand-passed ballots for delegates to the state convention and the executive committee.
Hand counts
Tellers in a back room, a long recess, and a tally nobody in the hall can check.
Excel and email
A spreadsheet roster, a chain of emails, and hoping nothing breaks on the day.
And one close vote is all it takes for the result itself to be questioned.
Before, during and after
Everything the room does lands on one record. You never retype the roster, the vote or the certification.
Build your roll
- Keep your delegate list across the whole election cycle. You do not rebuild it for every convention.
- Elected delegates flow onto the convention roll with no retyping.
- Send the Call to Convention from RosterVote and see who has acknowledged it.
Run the room
- Check-in with printed QR badges.
- Every kind of vote and election, on phones or on paper.
- Chair, clerk and check-in desk on iPhone, iPad and Android.
Certify & prove
- Results fill the State Party's required template.
- A tamper-evident record of the whole meeting.
- Anyone can download the record and recount it.
Six things that change your convention day
The parts of a convention a spreadsheet was never built to handle.
Fast, credentialed check-in
Scan a driver's license or search the roll; a QR badge prints in seconds. The scan is read on the device and never uploaded. Staff can save the name and address to your roster. Nothing else from the license is kept.
Every kind of vote & election
Voice, roll-call, secret ballot, nominations, elections and runoffs, multi-seat committee races, and hand-counted paper. All on the same floor, the same day.
Delegates & executive committee
Set the caucus apportionment, run the elections, and certify. Results fill the State Party's required template. If your state party also uses RosterVote, press Submit to state to send it your certified delegation; the state accepts, holds or rejects it. When the state convention runs on RosterVote, district chairs seat ranked alternates for absent delegates on the floor.
A big screen the room follows
Live agenda, current item, results and a clock. Never a blank projector.
Sponsor slides
Show sponsor slides on the big screen before the call to order and during recess.
Results anyone can verify
Every action is recorded, and anyone can recount it. Each voter gets a private code to confirm their own vote counted.
Turn on only the parts your county uses, and nothing else.
The details that make convention day easier
Chair teleprompter
Reads the script for every agenda item, on a device you already carry.
Practice mode
Every meeting opens in practice mode. Make it official when you are ready.
ID stays private
The scan is read on the device and never uploaded. Only the name and address can be saved, and only to your roster.
Vote from any phone
No app to install and no account to create. Delegates vote right in the browser.
Guests, kept separate
Non-voting attendees check in too, but never count toward quorum or a tally.
When a result is close, you can prove it.
Every action in the meeting lands on a signed, tamper-evident record. Anyone can check it for themselves, free, with nothing to install, using the verifier, which runs independently of RosterVote's own servers. No one has to take your word for the tally.
Nothing goes to the state party until you send it. If your state party uses RosterVote, you press Submit to state; if not, you hand it the filled reporting form yourself.
How it works
You set the pace; nothing counts until you make a meeting official.
