Case Study of Kensington Management Group

Posted on by Clémence Campillo

Kensington Management Group is a leading insurance management firm in the Cayman Islands. Kensington manages a diverse range of captive insurance companies across multiple industries.  They have been using Simply Voting for their elections since 2017.

KMG’s challenges:

  • Conduct over 60 in-person proxy voting events annually for 30+ captive companies.
  • Each company has twelve to hundred voting members.
  • Manual process of proxy submission via email, requiring physical signatures and manual data entry, was time-consuming and inefficient.

Simply Voting’s solution:

Simply Voting offers a flexible and secured online voting platform for companies. In order to meet KMG’s requirement, Simply Voting:

  • Developed a custom electronic proxy voting form with automatically populated fields for ease of use.
  • Implemented a dual-branding feature to display both Kensington’s and the captive’s logos on the proxy form.
  • Provided a fully managed service for proxy vote setups, handled by a project manager with Kensington’s approval.
  • Created a customized reporting feature for rapid retrieval of proxy voting submissions in a convenient format.

The results:

By choosing Simply Voting, KMG streamlined and automated the proxy voting process, saving significant time for insurance managers.

Plurality Vs Majority: What Is The Difference?

Posted on by Clémence Campillo

Plurality vs majority: what is the difference and how does Simply Voting support both?

Whether you are voting to elect your new president, treasurer or a board member, it is important to understand the different counting methods to elect your winner. Two of the most common methods are plurality and majority.

What is a plurality vote?

With a plurality vote, the candidate with the most votes win. For example, for this election with 3 candidates:

  • Candidate A: 45 Votes
  • Candidate B: 35 Votes
  • Candidate C: 20 Votes

Candidate A wins because the candidate received more individual votes than the other candidates, even if a total of 55 votes went to the other candidates.

What is a majority vote?

With a majority vote, the winning candidate must receive more than 50% of all votes cast. For example, if 100 votes were cast, the winner must receive at least 51 votes.

Using the same example with 3 candidates:

  • Candidate A: 40 Votes
  • Candidate B: 35 Votes
  • Candidate C: 25 Votes

Since no candidate received a majority of the votes, this election has no winner yet. Depending on your election rules, a runoff election between Candidate A and Candidate B will determine the final winner.

How it works with Simply Voting

Our online voting system is built for flexibility. We don’t impose a single method of determining the winner. You’ll receive a clear, transparent count along with the percentage of votes each candidate receives. From there, you’re free to apply the voting method that best suits your needs.

  • If you choose the plurality method, the candidate with the most votes is declared the winner.
  • If you prefer a majority method, you’ll need to verify whether any candidate received more than 50% of the total votes.

Choosing between plurality and majority voting depends on your organization’s rules. Our online voting platform provides transparent results, giving you the information you need to declare a winner using the method that best fits your requirements.
