The voting application can speed up the process for any elections large or small, as long as all participants have an internet connection. For those who do not have a smart phone or tablet, a convenient "log out" function allows the user to share the device with another ( or several) others to vote with complete security. This app is used for voting in a meeting. An authorization is handed out to the meeting attendees to prevent fraudulent votes. These security codes can be obtained in the app (using a button on the screen where the authorization code is entered) without charge. A pdf is emailed to the user so the codes can be printed out and then distributed at the meeting. If you don't want to do that, here is an authorization code that you can use for testing 8013762050
