More organized community decisions
Run community votes, polls, and board elections from one portal.
Community decisions are easier to manage when every eligible resident has a clear way to participate. Commonground brings votes and polls into the community portal, where administrators can publish questions, set dates, and review results without relying on fragmented responses.
Built for the work communities do every day.
One ballot per home or unit, with optional weighting by ownership share for condos.
Track turnout against your quorum, accept proxies, and limit votes to homes and units in good standing.
Run multi-seat board elections, anonymous or named, with automatically calculated results.
How it works
A simpler path from task to outcome.

Invite participation
Every member is emailed when voting opens. Each home or unit casts one ballot, or assigns a proxy to vote for it.

Review the outcome
The platform calculates results automatically so community teams can focus on the next decision or action.
