Hi Jorge,
I Google'd for online voting services and had a look at the first hit:
https://www.simplyvoting.com/
For our 181 members, it would cost 200$UDS for a single election or
334USD for a yearly plan (up to 10 elections per year).
The benefits are that it seems very simple, includes reporting, and
secure in that it solves the problem of keeping the individual votes secret.
I'm sure there must be others, so we could shop a bit, but for that
price, I don't think that's worth spending time tweaking a survey
software to fit our needs or even trying to host our own.
My 0.02$

Hi all,
Yesterday we had the board meeting (logs[1], minutes this evening) and I
volunteered for the CRO role this year, with the kind help of Jeff
McKenna, Cameron Shorter and likely our secretary Jachym Cepicky.
I would try to go on the automated votes process[2] as with 181 charter
members, manual e-mail voting seems so time consuming. With the limited
resources (mostly time) I'm afraid developing our own voting system is
not so convenient and I would prefer to use a service or install
something that is already working.
I know the guys after Opina[3], a JEE survey software that could be used
as a voting system, or just use their on-demand service that is free and
seems to work fine[4]. We could import the charter members list (as CSV)
and send a personalized link, so members can vote on the system on the
allowed dates.
What do you think? Any other ideas or experiences on how to gather
almost 200 people votes fulfilling our requirements?
Best
