Work council elections at Atlantica
Atlantica’s decision to adopt electronic voting
The restrictions imposed by the pandemic have led many companies to explore alternative methods for conducting shareholder meetings and voting processes. Atlantica needed a voting solution that allowed employees to make decisions on internal matters. They opted for an online voting system, replacing in-person voting to meet safety restrictions and protect their employees.
In Spain, electronic voting is legally viable under Law and serves as an alternative to in-person voting. Atlantica entrusted Kuorum with conducting the vote and ensuring secure voter authentication, data integrity, and the legal validity of the entire process.
Online voting with legal validity and personalized service
At Kuorum, we ensure the voting process is secure and legally compliant. For Atlantica, we provided a two-factor authentication system (email and SMS), meaning only authorized voters could participate, with a high level of security in identification. Additionally, we worked with a trusted service provider that issued qualified time stamps, a requirement under the European electronic identification regulations. For every recorded vote, an advanced electronic signature certificate was generated, ensuring the validity of the process in case of a challenge. This approach gave voters a secure and seamless voting experience.
Atlantica opted for a turnkey service, which meant they only needed to provide the voter registry to Kuorum after signing a data access agreement. The electronic voting platform for Atlántica was set up in just minutes. Once the registry was reviewed and uploaded, the vote and its corresponding announcement were prepared. Within hours, employees were ready to vote.
The voting day
Atlantica decided to delegate the management of the voting process to Kuorum, which provided a dedicated technical support team. The voting was a success, with an incident rate below 1%.
At Kuorum, we have years of experience organizing these types of events, from drafting announcements to presenting results. If you want to protect your voters’ well-being while offering them a secure, transparent, and outstanding voting experience, contact us and we’ll advise your team with no obligation.
