Democratic Project:
The Chartered College of Teaching held its first democratic process in 2018 when it elected a new Council, President, and Vice President. For its first elections, The Chartered College of Teaching selected UK Engage to oversee the process, as we are a well-known supplier of paperless elections. The elections were extremely important for the College as for the first time, the Council, President and Vice President were elected democratically, by its members.
Solution:
The client’s objective was to have a successful election with lots of member participation. Therefore, UK Engage used systems from its online solution portfolio to provide paperless elections for the College including; an online nomination form (where members could apply to stand for election); an election and engagement portal (where members could access all election-related information); and an online voting site. Furthermore, to tell members what was happening at each stage of the election, informative emails were sent to members.
Results
The client was extremely pleased with the way UK Engage handled its inaugural elections. They were happy with the online solutions put forward and the results that were achieved from the paperless elections. The online nomination system received 108 candidate applications for 22 seats and four of the six elections were contested, and all seats were filled.
