Vero Voting

Vero Voting provides secure online voting and balloting technology for Enterprise Bargaining and Enterprise Agreement (EA) Negotiations, serving organisations across Australia since the platform’s origins in 2009.

• The company’s platform was originally built in 2009 for a client running an enterprise agreement survey across three remote sites, and has since grown into a dedicated voting and election service used for EA employee approval ballots.
• Published guidance covers Fair Work Act 2009 requirements for enterprise agreement votes, including voter eligibility, the majority of valid votes test and the Fair Work Commission’s genuine agreement principles.
• The voting platform offers two factor authentication for voter login, automated vote counting with results typically declared within an hour of closing, and infrastructure described as equivalent to online banking security standards.
• Clients cited include the Reserve Bank of Australia, KPMG, BHP, Toll Group, UniSuper, Origin Energy and Uber, spanning corporate, not for profit and membership organisations.

Best for: employers, HR teams and bargaining representatives needing an independent, auditable online ballot platform to run a compliant enterprise agreement employee vote.

Vero Voting supports Industrial Action and Dispute Resolution through its Protected Action Ballot (PAB) service for organisations across Australia.

• The PAB service is described as enabling secure, confidential voting for protected industrial action ballots, with a focus on compliance and voter privacy.
• The platform can involve an independent election scrutineer to observe ballot conduct, review counting rules and confirm the reported result matches validly counted votes.
• Voting channels include online, phone and SMS lodgement with authenticated voter identity and receipt confirmation to prevent duplicate voting.

Best for: organisations or bargaining representatives that need an independent, auditable ballot system to run a protected industrial action vote.
