About us

A Need... A Solution... A Company.

The seeds that eventually grew into BallotBoxOnline took root in mid-2002.

That year, Austin, Texas attorney Brian L. Burgess was recruited to help the Austin Bar Association (ABA) evaluate online voting software for members' use in judicial reviews, officer elections and voting on critical, sometimes contentious, issues. The association wanted to increase participation in its elections without losing the confidentiality and integrity of its traditional paper balloting. It could not find a product on the market that met all of its needs, so Burgess began defining requirements for a new system built specifically for these unique challenges.

In its first year of use at ABA, that system increased voter participation by 435%, while saving thousands of dollars. Word of mouth spread, and BallotBox was born.

Today, BallotBoxOnline delivers elections, surveys, and evaluations for many customers. Based in Austin Texas, we pride ourselves on our customer service and support, and our system security and flexibility.
