We’re excited to announce the launch of PayHOA Voting, a new module designed to make running elections and polls in your community more transparent, efficient, and stress-free. Whether you’re conducting a board election, approving budgets, or gathering community feedback, Voting equips you with everything you need to manage the process with confidence.

Why We Built Voting

Elections are central to how communities govern themselves, but they’ve traditionally been one of the most difficult tasks for HOA administrators. Managing ballots, counting votes, verifying quorum, and communicating results often required multiple tools, manual work, and hours of time.

With PayHOA Voting, we’ve brought the entire process into one streamlined workflow inside PayHOA. You’ll save time, reduce errors, and build homeowner trust with clear, accessible, and transparent elections.

Feature Highlights

Online and Paper Voting

Ballots can be sent out via email or mail. Homeowners can submit votes electronically from their phone, tablet, or computer. All methods are tracked together in one central tabulation.

Anonymous Voting

Protect voter privacy by ensuring that no other owners can see how an individual voted. This feature builds confidence that elections are fair and unbiased.

Automated Emails and Reminders

Boost turnout by letting the system do the work for you. Send invitations, reminders, and closing notices automatically so no one forgets to participate.

Automatic Tabulation & Quorum Calculations

Eliminate manual counting errors. Votes are tallied instantly as they’re cast, and the system automatically calculates quorum to let you know when participation requirements have been met.

Scheduled Vote Close Times

Set voting deadlines in advance. Elections will automatically lock at the scheduled time, preventing late submissions and ensuring fairness.

Voting Result Reports

Share results with your community quickly and confidently, with clear breakdowns of participation and outcomes.

Multiple Question Types (Including Ranked Choice)

Ask the questions your community needs answered. From simple yes/no votes to multi-choice options and advanced Ranked Choice Voting, you have full flexibility in how decisions are presented.

Voter Segmentation and Groups

Use tags to assign ballots only to the members who should vote. This ensures the right people are voting on the right issues without confusion.

Multiple Elections, Unlimited Ballots

Run as many elections as you need at the same time. Unlimited ballots let you cover board positions, special initiatives, and community polls all at once.

Voting History

Maintain a complete record of past elections. Homeowners can view historical decisions, building transparency and continuity over time.

Cast Votes from Any Device

Whether members are at home or on the go, they can securely cast their votes from any device with an internet connection.

Quick and Easy Set-Up

Launch elections in minutes with our step-by-step setup process. No technical expertise required—simply choose your options and get started.

Flexible Use Cases

From formal board elections to informal community polls, PayHOA Voting adapts to your needs. You can even use it for quick surveys or straw polls to keep your community engaged between official votes.

A Better Way Forward

The new Voting module was designed to simplify, expedite, and enhance the transparency of community and association governance. By reducing manual work and providing powerful features in one place, it helps boards and managers focus on what matters most: making decisions that reflect the will of the community. We’re thrilled for you to try it out and see how it transforms your next election.
