Voter Registration and Election Management
PowerProfile®
PowerProfile is a voter registration and election management application for election officials to register voters and conduct elections from a central database.
This system allows for state and local jurisdictions to manage elections from the same interface. Election officials can:
- Register voters
- Check eligibility
- Prepare for absentee and early voting
- Manage election workers
- Create pollbooks and rosters
- Verify petitions
- Maintain voter records
Fully Integrated Voter Registration and Election Management Solution
The HAVA-compliant features of PowerProfile provide unique statewide identifiers to voter records, allow for statewide duplicate checking, and are customizable to meet the customer’s specific requirements. In PowerProfile, local jurisdictions have total control over their voter registration data through role-based access.
PowerProfile is scalable and can be deployed for a single county, as well as for an entire state and all counties within that state.
Easy to Manage
- Seamless voter record transfers between counties in the same state fulfills the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requirement to maintain previously recorded data and single voter records without manual entry.
- GIS interface allows bi-directional data exchange between GIS applications and PowerProfile. Provides the ability to maintain addresses in a single repository; reduces user-created addressing errors.
- Real-time comparisons of new and existing registrations against external agencies such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Corrections, and others protects against fraud by ensuring only eligible voters can cast a ballot.
- Integrated scanning functionality to attach additional image data to voter records, locations, and petitions provides a more complete picture, all in one solution, when researching a voter record. No more searching saved files or, worse, thumbing through paper files. Helps streamline the workflow and improves data entry accuracy and efficiency.
- Numerous interfaces for external products such as electronic pollbooks, ballot-on-demand printing and electronic ballot delivery provide seamless integration and ensures efficiency and data integrity.
- Comprehensive and efficient processing and tracking of absentee applications and outgoing and incoming ballots.
- Generates notices such as ID cards and election worker notices, eliminating the need to produce commonly used correspondence outside the system and improving accuracy and efficiency.
- Robust reporting with the ability to review data as a PDF, CSV or TXT file eliminates the need to produce commonly used notices, labels and reports outside the system, improving accuracy and efficiency.
- NCOA (National Change of Address) support
- HAVA and NVRA compliant
Great User Experience
- User-friendly interface facilitates quick, accurate data entry with fewer mouse clicks and less manual entry and repetition.
- Helps ensure a smooth voter check-in on Election Day. Poll workers can be confident the voter information is accurate because it is validated against external agency data, including the DMV and the Department of Corrections.
- Familiarity with an integrated suite of applications enables administrators to navigate different aspects of the election process efficiently, reducing the learning curve and enabling quicker responses to evolving situations.

Convenient Access to Voter Information
VoterView is an online voter registration portal that integrates with PowerProfile. VoterView provides voters with a convenient and accessible way to access voter registration and related election information.
ES&S’ VoterView portal allows voters to enter personally identifying information to access their voter registration information, location (or any location based on the entry of an address), provisional ballot status and absentee ballot status. VoterView also includes an optional election worker management portal where election workers can confirm their election eligibility, schedule classes and check their payment status.
VoterView is highly configurable and allows administrators to define the visible and required search fields and fields displayed on the detail record for all the VoterView searches. Administrators can also set up VoterView to display links and attachments, limit the date ranges for election searches and set up partial name searches, among many other setup options. Administrative users can upload sample ballot images to be displayed
on the voter record for a particular election.
Main Search Page
- Voters can view their registration information and determine their polling location.
- Administrators can customize the required search criteria and the web page look and feel, including adding state seals, links to other important agencies/resources and social media pages.
