+ Features + +
+ +

Selectricity is a flexible and powerful. This page lists some of the +major features that Selectricity has to offer.

+ +
+ QuickVotes + +
+ +

QuickVotes are elections that are designed to be as simple and easy +as possible. They are like polls but are built on Selectricity's +heavy-duty election manchinery. They can be created in under a minute +and voted on in just a few seconds.

+ +

QuickVotes are meant for simple, quick decisions. They are not +limited to registered lists of voters. They support simple lists of +options -- no pictures, no position statements, and no long +descriptions. They are simple enough to decide where a group is going to +dinner, what you're going to name a project, or when to have a group +meeting.

+ +

The best way to learn more is to <%= link_to "create a quickvote", +:controller => 'quickvote', :action => 'create' %> now!

+ +
+ Anywhere + +
+ +

Selectricity puts powerful election machinery into the palm of your +hand.

+ +

To use Selectricity, users need to access to a computer and a web +browser -- which they don't always have in front of them. <%= link_to( +"Sectricity Anywhere", :action => 'anywhere') %> solves this problem. +It provides an interface to the system technology entirely accessible +through short emails and optimized for sending use over email/SMS from +any mobile phone.

+ +
+ Elections + Coming Soon +
+ +

Selectricity Elections showcase all of what Selectricity has to +offer. They support lists of candidates or choices with position +statements and pictures and secure lists of voters. They have start and +end dates and features to help made votes both anonymous and +voter-verifiable.

+ +

Selectricity Elections have been used by student groups to elect +officers and by non-profit organizations to elect their boards of +directors. They bring some of the best of what the world of high-tech +election technology has to offer to bear on every day +decision-making.

+ + + +
+ API + Coming Soon +
+ +Programmers and hackers may want to use Selectricity from within their +own site or to embed Selectricity functional into their own system. +Selectricity makes that simple with a featureful API and the ability to +"embed" elections.
