School council vote
For votes within the school council or the parents' association board: each member gets a single-use ballot, votes in secret on their phone and, at the close, the minutes record the count for each proposal with a fingerprint to check it. Official school council elections follow your education authority's rules.
Who it's for: School councils, parents' association boards and staff meetings.

When to use it
- The school council has several proposals to vote on.
- You want a secret vote even when voting on phones.
- You need minutes with the count for each proposal.
What's inside and why
- Proposals 1, 2 and 3
- One question per proposal, with “For”, “Against” and “Abstain”: the minutes record each count.
- Ballots
- One per member and single-use: nobody votes twice and nobody knows how each person voted.
Tips to get the most out of it
- Replace the sample proposals with the ones on the agenda.
- Set the number of ballots to the number of voting members and hand them out before the meeting.
- At the close, download the minutes and attach them to the council's own.
Frequently asked questions
Is the vote really secret?
Yes: the ballot only works once; the vote isn't linked to it or to the time, and nobody, not even the organiser, can tell how each member voted.
Can it be used for official school council elections?
Official elections follow your education authority's rules (register, deadlines, voting method): follow those. This template is for votes within the council or the parents' association.
Can people vote in the room and remotely at the same time?
Yes: each member votes with their ballot on their phone, in the room or elsewhere.
