My great experience with ElectionBuddy **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2021 **What do you like best about ElectionBuddy?** This was third year using ElectionBuddy for our annual meeting and elections, and the personal attention from the support team is amazing and makes all the difference in the confidence in the results and timing. **What do you dislike about ElectionBuddy?** There was no way to use logic in the ballot--we have 3 types of candidates that needed to be voted for in specific ways (3 teachers was mandatory, then the other two votes could be teacher, parent or community member) and there was no way to do that and we ultimately had to disqualify a number of ballots because people didn't do it correctly. You simply must add the if/then kind of logic between categories. **What problems is ElectionBuddy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Just our annual elections, and not having paper ballots. **Official Response from Ryan Northover:** > Thank you for the review! We are very happy to have you back for a third year! It is great to hear our support team has helped instill confidence using ElectionBuddy for your annual meetings and elections.
