Global Arena Holding Subsidiary Collaborates With E-Voting Software Developer Voting Portals, LLC to Conduct Hybrid Election


NEW YORK, NY, March 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

 Global Arena Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC PINK: GAHC), announced today that its subsidiary company, Global Election Services (GES), has successfully conducted its first election using both online and paper mail ballots, in collaboration with its new venture partner, Voting Portals, LLC – developers of highly specialized online/e-voting software systems designed for regulated election sectors.

The collaboration is anticipated to provide GES clients with an advanced platform for online voting and other related services. The multi-functional Internet program allows users to vote in a secure manner by using encrypted voting codes with multiple levels of credential authentication.   

The election was a hybrid election, which allowed members the option to vote online or by paper mail, and the turnout was strong. With approximately 69% participation, an estimated 46% voted online with 23% voting by mail, supporting GES in its endeavors to strengthen its online voting capabilities. 


“We are very happy to see such a high member turnout,” said John S. Matthews, President of GES.  “We’re particularly pleased with the larger number of members opting to vote online. GES is proud to maintain the highest level of security and voter indemnity – both online and offline.  We will always remain advocates of the One Member = One Vote for all our clients and firmly believe that Voting Portals, LLC will assist us in upholding this mantra.” 

Ben Solomon, CEO of Voting Portals, LLC added, “We are very pleased to see that our secure online voting software has already substantially replaced the need for physical ballots.  This reduces the overall costs and time of mailing for unions while facilitating significantly greater member participation.”

Management at both companies look forward to conducting future joint elections.
