Griffith eBallot is an electronic voting system for the conduct of elections to determine the membership of university committees.
The electronic voting system has been designed to be as secure as the traditional paper ballot. The computer system does not retain information on how individuals have actually voted but rather whether they have voted or not. It is necessary to know whether an individual has voted for the purposes of tallying the final result and scrutineering.
Further information about current University elections for staff is available on the Staff Elections webpage.
Further information about current University elections for students is available on the Student Elections webpage.
