Pioneer Utility Resources and Survey & Ballot Systems are partnering to deliver secure online, paper and hybrid utility voting options that are also supported by strategic marketing content.
The partnership brings together SBS’s three decades of election management expertise with Pioneer’s deep experience in utility communications, marketing services and member engagement. One immediate benefit for utility cooperatives is that all SBS election services include ready-to-use social media posts with their logo and brand colors at no additional cost. The content is designed to promote election awareness and remind members to vote, and it can be part of a larger communication campaign designed by Pioneer.
