I am trying to migrate to cooperative or mutual owned businesses in my life, but one real problem I have is managing all of the elections and votes I am part of now.

Does anyone know of good tools to help store and track stakeholder rights and participation? Like reminders that a vote is in month. Best places to find updates and info. Etc?

Serious question: what does google calendar lack in terms of features?

It sounds like you want to store reminders, and on the reminders you want to store links to information about the upcoming votes.

This is for you, as a voter in many different systems, correct?

You seek not to administer a voting system for an organization, but rather to administer your own participating in many different organizations?

Seems to me that your needs thus far could be served by a calendar app.

If you need to track information about organizations, and the state of affairs with each, then basically you’re looking at a CRM (which tracks tasks and communications, each relating to an “account” one has with a customer or sales prospect).

Both solid suggestion! I thought about a calendar app, and might just do that for the reminder aspect.

A CRM might just be close enough. I'll check out odoos offering to see how well it fits!

Also yep looking for tracking org info and voting as a voter in a bunch of different organizations.

I would consider to use survey software for this.
LimeSurvey is a very popular FOSS option

I appreciate the suggestion though I am not sure how to this tool for this purpose.

Usually you just appoint a proxy to represent your interests in a given organization, I thought.

How do you normally go about choosing a proxy?

[-] solrize@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Someone whose interests align with yours and who is more active in the organization so they follow the issues more. E.g. a board member or staff member, etc. It depends on the org too, of course.
