Drive legislative productivity
Elected officials depend on tight procedures and instant access to meeting documents to run productive public meetings. VoteCast Touch streamlines this by providing centralized access to paperless agendas, meeting materials, and realtime meeting management tools over touchscreen monitors. One simple interface connects officials to meeting documents and tools to instantly make motions, cast votes, or request to speak.
Automate and enhance minutes creation with rich media
Through a seamless integration with MinutesMaker, VoteCast Touch helps automate the Clerk’s minutes annotation process. As meeting actions are recorded in VoteCast Touch—including, roll call, motions, votes, and speakers—the data is automatically assembled into a digital minutes document that’s indexed against a streaming media recording of the public meeting. This automation enhances your meeting minutes with a rich media and saves Clerk’s time.
Increase transparency and citizen engagement: Instant Web distribution
VoteCast Touch and MinutesMaker solutions work together to improve transparency and citizen engagement in the public meeting process. Our live meeting workflow tools work hand-in-hand with our advanced Web distribution technology. During your meeting, you are automatically building an online portal, or Integrated Public Record, of audio/video public meeting recordings, minutes, agendas, and staff reports—all cross-linked, keyword-searchable, and ready for instant publishing to your Website.
Engage audiences with a rich public display of meeting action
Keep audiences informed and engaged in meeting action by using Public Display to automatically present a compelling display of live vote results, current agenda items, and speaker timers to TV monitors or projection systems in meeting chambers, and over TV or Web broadcasts.
Automate parliamentary procedures: real-time communication and updates
VoteCast Touch helps drive meeting action at a more productive pace, enabling the clerk, voting, and non-voting meeting members to focus on deliberations instead of process and procedure. As meeting actions are recorded in the system, the information is delivered in real-time to each meeting member’s interface and the Public Display. This process keeps the entire audience—from elected officials to citizens—up-to-date on the current agenda item, vote results, speakers and speaker timers, movers and seconders. As a result, meeting participants are more informed and procedures run more productively.
