Introduction
		The new addition to the Optivote range was developed in conjunction with Telford and Wrekin Council for voting in their council chamber. T&WC wanted public transparency in their assemblies and accurate recording of each councillor's vote on all motions, amendments and amended motions. By deploying Optivote's Council Chamber system with its on screen display of councillor name and party allegiance every individual vote electronically cast can be seen by the attending public.

Key benefits

Fast & accurate recording of votes – the councillor’s digital handsets work on radio frequency to ensure a quick and reliable response. Procedural clarity – the certain recording and immediate displaying of all individual votes avoids any potential counting errors inherent in the 'show of hands' method. Scalable – the system can be used by councils large and small. Accountability – every councillor’s vote is registered, no surreptitious voting Transparency – both during and post the meeting any vote can be viewed, no hidden voting. Wireless – ideal for adding to existing audio visual systems. No installation issues for listed buildings.
