What resident Polls & Voting does
Most societies handle this manually until it becomes a recurring headache. Resident Polls & Voting lets the committee run a poll or vote among residents, from small decisions to AGM resolutions, so it stops depending on any one person being available.
Key benefits
- Faster decisions than a physical show of hands.
- One vote per flat, tracked automatically.
- Results visible to residents once closed.
- Useful for AGM resolutions and budget approvals.
How it works
1
Turn it on
The admin enables resident Polls & Voting for your society from the Secure Nest dashboard — no separate installation needed.
2
Set your rules
Configure it to match how your society actually works: who can approve, what gets logged, and who's notified.
3
It runs itself
From here, resident Polls & Voting works in the background — residents, guards, and the committee all see the same up-to-date record.
Why societies choose this
The value of resident Polls & Voting shows up most during the busy moments: peak hours, events, or when the regular staff member is on leave. A system that doesn't depend on memory holds up better than a register or a WhatsApp thread.
Frequently asked questions
In most cases, yes. Resident Polls & Voting runs on the Secure Nest app and dashboard, and where hardware is involved (like cameras or access devices), it's designed to work alongside common existing setups rather than requiring a full replacement.
Yes — it's built for residents and staff who may not be comfortable with complex apps. Most residents are up and running within their first use, and guards typically need only a short walkthrough.
Yes. Records created through this module are stored securely and access is limited by role, so residents, guards, and committee members only see what's relevant to them.
