Community decisions, without the chat chaos

One link. One ballot. One clean record.

AptVote was built for resident councils and property managers who are tired of running board elections and budget approvals out of group chats, paper notices, and bloated resident apps.

Design principles

Decisions residents will actually participate in.

01

Agenda first

Publish the agenda exactly as the building already writes it. Residents see the motion, the context, and the stakes before the ballot opens.

02

Mobile, not an app

A unit code and a link. No install, no account creation, no passwords to recover the night before a budget vote.

03

Records the board can defend

Every vote produces a participation record, a tally, and an audit trail formatted for the board packet and the managing agent.

04

Built for the next motion

Reuse the ballot structure for rule amendments, HOA questions, capital project approvals, and everyday resident polls.

Where boards start

Ballots that match how your building already meets.

Board elections

Run a nomination window, a quiet voting window, and a result window on the same link. One tally, one disclosure, one minute entry.

Budget & dues

Put the proposed budget beside the ballot. Residents vote with the line items in front of them, not an email from six weeks ago.

Rule changes

Move quiet-hours, short-term rental, and amenity rule proposals from the group chat to a ballot with participation you can actually cite.

Amenity polling

Lightweight polls for gym hours, package room upgrades, and landscaping choices without pretending every question is a formal vote.

FAQ

Questions boards usually ask first.

Do residents need to download anything?

No. Voting is a link plus a unit code. The goal was to remove every step between receiving a notice and submitting a ballot.

Can the board trust the result?

Every ballot has a unit-scoped code, a timestamp, and a participation record. Tallies are exportable with the signature audit trail attached.

What about buildings that still use paper notices?

Paper notices work fine alongside AptVote. Print the link and the unit codes; voting still lands in the same ledger.

Is this an HOA product or a rental-building product?

Both. Condo boards, co-op boards, and rental buildings running resident councils all vote the same way: by unit, on the record, with a result the board can defend.

Publish the next motion as a clean ballot.

Start with one vote. Keep the record. Decide what to digitise from there.
