Why Election Trust®

Six Reasons Professional Associations Choose Us

Your members hold themselves to the highest professional standards. Your election process should be no different.

Absolute Neutrality

As an independent third-party administrator, Election Trust® has no stake in who wins. Our sole obligation is to the integrity of the process — giving every candidate, and every member, full confidence in the result.

20+ Years of Proven Results

Since 2003, Election Trust® has administered more than 500 election events for organizations across the public and private sectors — bringing that depth of experience to every association election we manage.

Member Data Security

Your membership roster contains sensitive personally identifiable information. Election Trust® manages all voter data through encrypted file transfer, secure storage, and strict access controls — with no data shared, sold, or retained beyond the election period.

Full Transparency & Observer Access

Candidates, legal counsel, and designated observers are proactively invited to every observable step of the election — ballot adjudication, count, and certification — and their attendance or declination is documented in the election record.

Dedicated Election Manager

A single veteran Election Trust® Event Manager oversees your entire election — from nominations through certified results reporting. One point of contact, full accountability, no handoffs between teams or vendors.

$1M Commercial E&O Insurance

Election Trust® carries $1 million in Commercial Errors & Omissions insurance — providing your association with an additional layer of protection and demonstrating our commitment to getting every election right.
