Much time and effort can be wasted in waiting for the results of an election. Using advanced technology, Eagle Feather Data Exchange (EFDX) provides instant election and referendum results to the people at the end of the election, usually in less than a minute.
The client can choose their own Electoral Officer or use one of the trained and approved Eagle Feather Data Exchange Electoral Officers.
Process
The client calls Eagle Feather Data Exchange (EFDX) at 306-343-7383 to request EFDX services for an “instant results” election.
Eagle Feather Data Exchange staff attend the nomination meeting where band members can practice using the electronic ballot tabulator machine. A mock mini-election can be demonstrated. Alternatively, if the customer does not wish to use the electronic ballot tabulator the customer can select the manual, hand count ballot count process.
On voting day, Eagle Feather Data Exchange (EFDX) works with the Chief Electoral Officer or uses its own Electoral Officer(s). EFDX ensures the process is performed in secrecy and performed as per instruction of the Chief Electoral Officer. Each elector is verified for vote eligibility, given a ballot to complete, and deposits their ballot into the electronic ballot tabulator, or deposits their ballot into secure ballot box. (ballot box process decided before election) When the polls close the ballots are tabulated using the advanced technology system or counted manually.
When using the electronic ballot tabulator the votes are tabulated and printed in a few minutes. If manual ballot count process is used the results may take an hour or more. The vote counts are given to the Chief Electoral Officer who announces the results.
For Indian Act Elections, the processing of the mail-in ballots will take some time, but time savings can be cut in half with the EFDX process.
