ABOUT US

Leading Voting Services Provider

Acting as your trusted Independent Scrutineer or Returning Officer, we offer innovative and secure democratic voting services for elections, ballots, referendums, consultations and AGMs. At UK Engage, we do things differently; we look at our clients’ objectives and suggest or develop voting services to help achieve them.

This ranges from encouraging nominations to fill all vacant seats, to improving voter turnout. We do this by using communication techniques to improve member engagement and improve participation which is supported by our range of voting services and superior technology.

Each year our printed ballot packs and online voting system are among the democratic voting services used by hundreds of organisations. Our voting services clients span many markets sectors, including membership organisations, professional bodies, NHS Foundation Trusts, pension schemes, charities, co-operatives and mutuals, social housing, and trade unions.

Our story

We are an end-to-end voting services provider and specialist division of award-winning electoral print and mail specialist, Print Image Network.

Established in 2000, Print Image Network has grown into a strategic print partner to local authorities from across the county. Today, the business delivers millions of items of electoral stationery for statutory elections.

Our business is independently owned and has built a reputation in all market sectors for being committed to our customers and having market-leading voting services.

With a strong electoral heritage behind it, our UK Engage brand has enjoyed similar success in the non-statutory election market, bringing its unique election services to hundreds of organisations.  With the launch of a new online voting system in recent years and a great reputation for engaging with client’s members, we continue to be a leader in voting services for elections, ballots, polls, referendums, AGMs, EGMs, SGMs and consultations.

CSR

Charities

Each year UK Engage employees put forward the names of charities that they would like our company to support. Once all of the nominations are in, employees vote (democratically via our online voting system), to select the three charities they would most like to support. Once the votes are in the three charities that have received the most votes are our chosen charities for the year.  This year we are proud to support Andy’s Man Club, Mind and Francis House.
