Overview

This plugin connects OpenSlides with the software “VoteCollector” to provide electronic voting for motions with Keypads from Voteworks.

The OpenSlides VoteCollector Plugin was contracted by the German company Voteworks GmbH. It was initially developed by the core authors of OpenSlides, Oskar Hahn and Emanuel Schütze (Intevation GmbH), in April 2012. Currently, it is maintained by Emanuel Schütze.
