Work council elections at Red Eléctrica

Case introduction

Red Eléctrica is Spain’s primary and only electricity distributor. Founded in 1985, it has grown into an IBEX 35-listed business group with international operations and over 2,000 employees.

A company of this scale places great importance on its union elections. However, the pandemic posed challenges to conducting these elections with all necessary guarantees, even leading to discussions about postponing them multiple times.

The challenge of ensuring security

Red Eléctrica took advantage of the pandemic to modernize its electoral process and embrace digitalization. However, not all providers meet the security certifications required to work with a company that operates at Red Eléctrica’s high standards. This led them to contact Kuorum.

Union elections are a critical process for safeguarding workers’ rights. For this reason, Kuorum implements systems that ensure voting is personal, free, secret, and direct, in compliance with the Law of Union Elections.

"We needed a tool that our employees could use from home."

A simple and seamless process

The online voting process is straightforward. Employees only needed a mobile phone and an internet-connected device to cast their vote. Additionally, Kuorum offers a telephone support service to resolve any issues voters might encounter. In this case, the incident rate was below 0.5%, and all issues were resolved instantly.

Red Eléctrica continues to benefit from this service and can use it for future voting events. Union elections are one of Kuorum’s specialties. If you want to protect your employees' well-being while providing a convenient, secure, and transparent voting experience, contact us and we’ll advise your team without obligation.

Advantages for the company

In addition to reducing costs, Red Eléctrica employees were able to vote without leaving their workplace and spent less than one minute of their workday doing so. The Electoral Board and HR Department received a results certificate, which they could submit to the Public Registration Office.
