BeschlussManager

Feature

One click from the email – no sign-in needed

The most common reason a resolution fails is not a legal question but a hurdle: anyone who has to sign in and hunt for a password just to cast one vote will do it later, or never. The email link removes that hurdle. It is one of several ways into Beschlussmanager, but the shortest.

How it works

  1. 1

    The resolution opens

    Everyone eligible receives an email with the motion, the deadline and their own link.

  2. 2

    One click is enough

    The link opens a plain page: read the motion, choose yes, no or abstain, submit. No sign-in, no password, no app.

  3. 3

    Confirmation and tally

    A confirmation follows by email. Opening the link again shows the vote cast and the current state.

  4. 4

    Reminders for the stragglers

    Three days and 24 hours before the deadline Beschlussmanager reminds the people who have not voted – and only those.

Why it stays attributable

“Without signing in” does not mean “without a record”. Each link is a single-use random token tied to one person and one resolution, and it is consumed when the vote is cast.

The audit trail then records who voted what and when – for anonymous resolutions only that a vote was cast. Entries are appended, never overwritten.

The closest comparison is a postal ballot: the envelope is personal, the path is low-friction, and the count is verifiable afterwards.

From the application

What the recipients see

The page behind the link. No account, no sign-in, no app — and as usable on a phone as at a desk.

Voting page on a phone: the motion, its background and three buttons for yes, no and abstain.
The top says who is asking and about what, the motion follows in full. The three buttons are the entire interface. The line at the foot names both things this route rests on: the link is personal and single-use, and the deadline is stated with it.

And then it is over

No account also means no signing out, no session left open, nothing to manage.

Confirmation page after voting: a tick and a note that the vote has been recorded securely.
One line of confirmation and the window can close. Beschlussmanager reports the outcome later on its own — nobody has to come back and check.

Common questions

What if somebody forwards their link?

The link belongs to one person and is consumed when the vote is cast. Forwarding it means giving away your vote, much like handing on a postal ballot. Every email says the link is personal, and every vote is attributed to that person in the audit trail.

Can somebody vote twice?

No. Once the vote is cast the link is spent. Opening the page again shows the vote that was cast and the running tally.

What if the email lands in spam?

The person can have the link sent again from the voting page. The organiser can also see at any time who has not voted yet and follow up.

Can voting be anonymous?

Yes, a resolution can be run as an anonymous vote. The outcome then shows the count but not who voted how. Whether that is permitted depends on your statutes.
