Discover how Filipino cooperatives—from rural barangays to overseas communities—use BallotPartner to connect with members anywhere in the world through secure, mobile-friendly digital elections.

🌏 Co-op Membership Is Borderless. Your Voting System Should Be Too.

In the past, holding an election meant printed ballots, packed gymnasiums, and travel expenses—not to mention missed votes from members who were too far away.

Today, things have changed.
Many members now live in remote barangays, work in other provinces, or even settle abroad as OFWs. So how can your cooperative ensure every voice still counts?

BallotPartner makes it possible.

Here’s how co-ops across the Philippines are using digital elections to bridge distance, increase trust, and include every member—no matter where they live.

🏘️ From Mountain Barangays to Island Provinces

Some co-ops serve members living in upland farms, island municipalities, or rural barangays with no stable internet.

BallotPartner is built for that:

• Works on low-bandwidth mobile connections
• Fully mobile-responsive—no app needed
• Ballots available in English or Filipino
• Can be completed in under 3 minutes even on entry-level smartphones

🗳️ “Our members in northern Aurora voted on basic Android phones—signal was weak but it worked.”
— Staff, Farmers Multi-Purpose Co-op

🌍 Overseas Filipino Workers Can Finally Vote

Many cooperatives have long-time members working in:

• UAE, Saudi Arabia
• Hong Kong, Singapore
• Canada, UK, and beyond

With BallotPartner, those OFWs can:

• Receive secure voting links by email or SMS
• Vote during flexible time windows
• Know their vote is private and counted

💬 “I haven’t voted in years because I’m in Dubai. This year I did it in 2 minutes. Thank you.”
— Member, Transport Co-op (via Facebook)

📶 You Don’t Need Fancy Tech to Be Included

Some co-op members worry that online voting is “pang-techie lang.” But BallotPartner is intentionally designed for:

• 📱 First-time smartphone users
• 👵 Senior citizens
• 🧓 Members without an email (just SMS)

For those who need help, co-ops can set up voting assistance stations or mobile booths in their offices—using one tablet or phone.

💡 Tip: Assign a “Voting Support Volunteer” to assist elders or members unfamiliar with online tools.
