- Building the AgendaHow to structure an assembly's agenda in Assembley — the kinds of agenda items (resolutions, elections, polls, announcements), ordering them, and how each is voted on and recorded.
- Creating and Managing Voter GroupsHow voter groups work in Assembley — choosing a voter type (Company vs Association), creating a group with the guided steps, adding voters manually, and importing a register from CSV or Excel.
- Creating Share Classes with Vote MultipliersHow to create share classes in Assembley, why vote multipliers must be positive integers, and how a voter's class turns their share capital into a voting weight.
- Creating Your First AssemblyA step-by-step overview of creating an assembly in Assembley — naming it, choosing its type and mode, setting eligibility, and what happens between draft and going live.
- Data Privacy and GDPRHow Assembley approaches personal data and GDPR — EU data residency, what data an assembly processes, and why data protection is integral to running a defensible digital vote.
- Editing and Removing VotersHow to keep your voter register accurate in Assembley — editing a voter's details, removing voters, and why register changes don't affect an assembly that has already gone live.
- Getting Started with AssembleyA plain-language introduction to Assembley — what it does, the core concepts behind legally valid digital assemblies, and the first steps to running your own.
- How Digital General Assemblies WorkWhat a digital general assembly is, how it compares to a paper or video-call meeting, and why a verifiable record is what makes the result legally defensible.
- How Vote Integrity Is ProtectedA plain-language explanation of how Assembley keeps an assembly's record tamper-evident — immutable vote records, frozen vote weights, and a hash chain that makes any change detectable.
- How Votes Are CountedHow Assembley tallies votes — by voting rights for company assemblies and one-per-member for associations — and why each vote's weight is frozen at the moment it is cast.
- How Voting Weight Is CalculatedExactly how Assembley turns a company voter's share capital and class into a voting weight — the capital × multiplier formula, when it is computed, and why it is frozen onto each ballot.
- Identity Verification LevelsHow Assembley verifies voter identity — a one-time email passcode as the baseline, with higher-assurance electronic ID (such as MitID) available as a premium option for high-stakes assemblies.
- Importing Voters from CSV or ExcelHow to import your voter register into Assembley from a CSV or Excel file — the columns each group type expects, how the Class column works for weighted groups, and how invalid rows are handled.
- Inviting and Onboarding ParticipantsHow participants receive their invitation, confirm their identity, and reach the ballot — and what you can do as an admin to make onboarding smooth on the day.
- Managing Your AccountHow to manage your Assembley organisation — updating organisation details, the participant label, inviting colleagues, and where billing and account settings live.
- Per-Item Turnout vs QuorumThe difference between per-item turnout and meeting quorum in Assembley — one measures participation in voting rights on a single item, the other measures representation of share capital for the whole meeting.
- Plans and PricingHow Assembley's plans are structured at a high level, what tends to differ between them, and where to find current pricing — including premium options like electronic ID verification.
- Reading Assembly ResultsHow to interpret an assembly's results in Assembley — per-item outcomes, the weighted tally, turnout, quorum, and how the result connects to the evidence package.
- Remote vs In-Person ParticipationHow Assembley supports remote, in-person, and hybrid assemblies — the differences in how participants join and how presence and votes are captured into one consistent record.
- Roles and PermissionsHow access works in Assembley — organisation administrators who manage voters and run assemblies, and the platform-level oversight role — so you can give colleagues the right level of access.
- Running a Live AssemblyWhat happens when an assembly goes live in Assembley — fixing the eligible register, tracking presence, opening agenda items for voting, watching results in real time, and closing the meeting.
- Sending Invitations and Managing EligibilityHow eligibility works in Assembley, when the eligible register is fixed, how invitations are sent at go-live, and how to restrict an assembly to a voter group or exclude individuals.
- Setting Up Your OrganizationThe first configuration steps in Assembley — choosing your organisation type, what that seeds for voting, and getting your account ready before you add voters or create an assembly.
- Share Capital vs Voting Rights ExplainedWhy Assembley keeps share capital and voting rights as two separate numbers for company voters, what each one is used for, and how keeping them distinct lets quorum and the tally both be correct.
- The Evidence Package ExplainedWhat the Assembley evidence package contains, the formats it comes in, and why this self-contained, verifiable record is what makes an assembly's result defensible.
- Understanding QuorumWhat quorum means in Assembley, how it is measured as a percentage of share capital for company assemblies (and members for associations), and how the quorum basis is fixed at go-live.
- Understanding Share Classes and Voting RightsHow Assembley separates share capital from voting rights, how share classes apply an integer multiplier to compute voting weight, and why quorum is measured against capital while the tally uses voting rights.
- Ungrouped Voters and Reassigning GroupsHow voter groups work as buckets in Assembley — what happens to voters when a group is deleted, the ungrouped state, and how to reassign voters between groups.
- Voter Type: Company vs AssociationThe difference between Company and Association voter groups in Assembley — weighted share-based voting versus one-member-one-vote — and how to choose the right type for each group.
