The online voting platform Eligo eVoting offers Spanish universities a comprehensive solution to manage their elections more efficiently, transparently, and participatively.
In the midst of the 21st century, as digital transformation impacts every corner of society, 70% of Spanish universities still manage their electoral processes using the outdated paper voting system. In a country with 84 universities and hundreds of thousands of students, inefficiency, high costs, and limited participation are increasingly evident problems. However, a solution is already changing the game.
Eligo eVoting, the leading platform for online voting solutions, has landed in Spain to digitalize university elections, offering a system that combines accessibility, security, and sustainability. This tool not only promises to optimize electoral processes, but also to modernize governance in the academic sphere.
The challenge of participation and digitalization in Spanish universities
Spain, with one of the most vibrant university communities in Europe, faces significant challenges in adopting digital tools for internal elections. “Most Spanish universities are still tied to voting systems that are not only inefficient, but also limit the participation of students, faculty, and administrative staff,” says Irene Pugliatti, CEO of Eligo eVoting. “At Eligo, we are committed to helping universities make the leap towards a more transparent and efficient digital governance. Our experience in markets like Italy shows us that modernization is not just an option, it’s a necessity.”
Spanish universities organize hundreds of votes and consultations each year, establishing themselves as one of the most democratic institutions in the country. The types of votes are diverse, covering both formal elections and consultative processes. Among them are elections for student positions and faculty representatives, the selection of administrative staff members, and votes on curriculum changes, academic reforms, and decisions regarding campus administration.
Digitalization, sustainability, and maximum transparency
The Eligo eVoting system allows Spanish universities to manage between 50 and 900 votes per year completely digitally. No longer do they need to rely on physical ballots or ballot boxes, reducing not only operational costs but also environmental impact.
Eligo eVoting: boosting university reputation
A university’s reputation largely depends on the trust it inspires in its community. Implementing advanced technological solutions, like Eligo eVoting, not only ensures more inclusive electoral processes but also projects an image of innovation and environmental responsibility, key factors in attracting new students and talents.
“In an increasingly digital world, it is essential for universities to adopt tools that not only improve their internal functioning but also position them as modern and sustainable institutions to society and the academic world,” adds Pugliatti.
With over 55,000 votes managed worldwide, Eligo eVoting is becoming the trusted partner for universities looking to modernize and offer a more inclusive, accessible, and efficient democratic environment.
