Interactive Voting - Emergency Services, Public Consultation examples

The main reason for public consultation within the emergency services, is to raise awareness and to measure the impact of certain policies or actions on communities.

The wireless voting system is invaluable in facilitating this and can be used extensively within committees, scrutiny bodies, and focus groups.

The demographic facility is just one feature which can clarify in seconds whether one sector of the audience is more likely to be affected by a proposal than another sector. This may lead to amendments in the proposed action or a policy being discarded altogether.

The comparison  facility can be used to gauge whether the group has changed its opinion as a result of a discussion or  amendment to a policy, whilst the priority ranking option can list actions to be taken in order of importance.

Finally, the impromptu question facility enables participants to ask unplanned questions during a meeting, the answers to which could have an affect on the discussion as a whole.
