Global Arena Holding operates primarily through Global Election Services (GES), which provides election administration for non-governmental organizations. GES manages paper mail-in and internet elections for clients including labor unions, trade organizations, professional associations, and cooperatives. The company provides end-to-end administration using proprietary voter registration software, digital signature capture, and optical scanning for ballot tabulation. To minimize security risks, GES utilizes offline tabulation hardware hard-wired to computers without network access. GES earns revenue by contracting with organizations on a per-election or ongoing service basis, where fees depend on the number of voters and the breadth of services provided. The company is currently pursuing certification from the Election Assistance Commission to enter the U.S. government election market, a transition that requires significant upfront investment. GES is also developing a real-time constituent communication platform for polling and member engagement. Additionally, the company holds a 30% stake in True Vote, a startup building a blockchain-based digital voting system intended to create immutable and verifiable vote records for use in government and financial services.
