How verwalt.ch works

Step-by-step guide — from registration to your first voting protocol. The entire process takes a few minutes.

1

Registration and setup

Create an account using email. Then create your organization completely free of charge — enter the name and optionally basic details. Everything takes less than 2 minutes.

The organization is a separate space — requests are bound to the session organization. One account can be a member of multiple organizations.

2

Invite members

As an administrator, you invite members by email. The invitation contains a registration link. After registration, the member joins the association — the admin approves access.

Members can have different roles: Member (basic access) or Admin (association management). Superadmin manages the entire platform.

3

Upload documents

Upload bylaws, minutes, accounting documents. Publish announcements for members. Everything is automatically recorded on the timeline.

Documents are organized into categories (bylaws, minutes, finances, other). Each document has an author, date, and category.

4

Create a vote

The admin creates a vote — title, description, closing date. By default the vote is linked to the account. Admins can enable a secret ballot (min. 4 voters).

Votes support quorum, categories (formal, informal) and automatic deduction. Vote changes are recorded in history.

5

Members vote and discuss

Members see open votes in their overview. They vote with one click — FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. In the discussion forum, they can discuss proposals.

The system shows interim results (informative, not binding). Members see if they voted and can change their vote until closing.

6

Close and generate protocol

The admin closes the vote. The system generates a protocol with results, quorum and timestamps. Results on FREE; PDF and JSON protocol on PRO.

The protocol is an internal document — not official. Legal validity depends on the organization's bylaws. Records remain in the archive.

Good to know

verwalt.ch is a tool for transparent internal management. By default votes are linked to the account; an optional secret ballot is available. The legal validity of decisions depends on your organization's bylaws.
