Why Tendring Council Chose Democracy Counts
​
This case study offers a deep dive into why leading organizations like Tendring Council trust Democracy Counts and our cutting-edge election management software, Elector8. If you’re curious about how Elector8 could revolutionize your authority’s election processes, these insights are for you.
Keith Simmons, Head of Democratic Services and Elections at Tendring District Council, shared his thoughts on why Democracy Counts stood out:
​
“What we have in Democracy Counts is a company that is willing to innovate and has got a structure that supports innovation. The other good thing about that is it's a single provider, so it's a fully integrated system. There are polling stations, solutions to deal with things like voter I.D., but then it's making, it's trying to get one system to talk to another. The good thing with Democracy Counts is it's seamless.”
The Power of Elector8: A Testimonial

Elector8 isn’t just another piece of election management software; it’s a powerful tool that transforms how election data is managed and reported. Nikki Nepean, Elections Manager at Tendring District Council, highlighted the versatility and efficiency of Elector8:

You can look back in time and run the stats from a particular day, that maybe you wanted information from, but you hadn’t. And we found that to be really useful for us.”
