We’re grateful to the hundreds of folks who have written in over the last year. We love that OpaVote has helped y’all make positive changes in your organizations and the world.
Since our last message, we’ve been living our values to move slow and shape things rather than move fast and break things. We’re making OpaVote more reliable, more sustainable, more accessible, and easier to use. Read on for some of our service improvements!
Service Improvements
Self-Serve Invoices
Until recently, getting an invoice for your elections meant emailing us and waiting for a reply. Now, you can download invoices instantly from your account—whenever you need them.
Keep Your Data Longer
By default, we retain your election data for 10 weeks from the start of an election. In the past, if you wanted us to store it longer, you would have to email us. Now you can extend your data retention directly from your election dashboard.
Unblock Rejected Ballots
Sometimes, voters would opt out of receiving email from us and then be surprised when they didn’t receive a ballot for an election they were looking forward to participating in. Before, they could email us to opt back in, but now may rejoin independently on our new unblock page.
Case Study: How Equal Exchange Leverages OpaVote to Strengthen Workplace Democracy
