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.
