Why We Matter
FlashVote uses scientific surveys to quickly gather statistically valid input from residents, giving local governments accurate insights that represent the entire community not just the vocal few.
Scientific surveys that truly reflect public opinion
In today’s fast-moving world, local governments are under pressure to make major decisions quickly. But without reliable public input, it’s easy to fall back on assumptions, vocal minorities, or outdated information. That’s where FlashVote makes all the difference. Our platform is built on the principles of scientific survey research—ensuring that every result is statistically valid and truly representative of the community. In just 48 hours, leaders get high-quality data from real residents, not just the usual voices. This means better decisions, stronger trust, and outcomes that reflect what people actually want. While others rely on opinion polls or anecdotal feedback, FlashVote delivers rigorous, actionable insights. We exist to give public leaders the confidence to act with clarity—because every important decision should start with facts, not guesswork.
Solving the Real Challenges of Public Engagement
Local governments face serious barriers to making informed decisions—from low participation to biased data. FlashVote was built to overcome these issues with fast, scientific, and community-wide feedback that leaders can trust.

The ease of this program… is great. We found the technology to be super simple – in part because they were great partners with us – and gave us some really good data to use.
Sherry Fletcher – Director, Marketing and Civic Engagement
What I appreciate is that FlashVote treats every interaction I have with them as important. It may be just a survey on backyard chickens, but it is important to us. FlashVote understands that.
