3. Ravi Singh, CEO & Founder
Letter from the CEO
I believe that the Internet is the "great political equalizer", allowing every citizen to have an equal voice in the
electoral process. It has created unprecedented ways to reach voters that are novel, productive, and cost
effective.
Therefore, I started this company with one computer and a vision to increase political participation. I never
imagined ElectionMall.com would service 800 plus campaigns. We live on a principle that whether you are a local
or a presidential candidate, you deserve the technology to win.
ElectionMall Technologies is designed to be a “one-stop-shop,” where you can pick and choose the things you
need to have an EDGE in your campaign. Many times, people reinvent the wheel. I encourage you to take
advantage of the items presented below.
Our platform is unique and proprietary, because it has been built over the last 10 years not as a business
application, or a non-profit application, but as a campaign application. ElectionMall.com focuses on providing
technology solutions that generate votes, awareness and funding.
Since 1999, ElectionMall.com has pioneered concepts in politics online. ElectionMall.com’s management team
has been pro¬filed in Business Week Magazine, USA Today, CNN or Washington Post. Our team is made up of
passionate young professionals who have combined expertise in political science, technology and new media.
At ElectionMall.com we believe technology alone does not win a campaign but technology used for strategy
does. ElectionMall.com knows that there is no magic software, and that the message and the messenger win
campaigns. Our team is here to provide the infrastructure, communication, and organization to support and
implement your strategy.
We are also aware that every country and every campaign is unique, so we tailor and customise our products
accordingly taking into consideration the digital landscape of the environment we work in. ElectionMall provides
the EDGE of Best Practices, and a clear road map of what has worked and what hasn’t worked, with the
technological know-how for your team to think out of the box and implement their wish-list.
On behalf of the entire 60 plus member team, we are excited about the opportunity to further enhance
Democracy 2.0 in Europe. As CEO, I guarantee that our products and the dedication of my team will exceed your
expectations, and will give you the EDGE you need to win.
Thank you
Ravi Singh CEO
