The Constituent Gateway
Virtual Town Hall System
With the Constituent Gateway Virtual Town Hall System, you can connect with your constituents in a whole new way, leveraging the power of the Internet to conduct real-time, online town hall meetings whenever and from wherever you want. Speak directly to your constituents using nothing more than a web camera and a microphone to broadcast live audio and video. Using our virtual town hall product, you can respond to constituent questions with fully moderated Q&A chat sessions, make a Microsoft PowerPoint™ presentation, or get the pulse on important issues instantly using our virtual town hall system's instant polling feature.

And since it's integrated with the Constituent Gateway enewsletter, website publishing, and telephone town hall products, the results from your virtual town hall meetings – meeting attendance, poll responses, and more – can be recorded right into your database of constituent profiles. So you get invaluable information on your constituents all in one place, no manual data entry required.

Online Town Halls Boost Ratings
A CMF study found that members' approval ratings increased by 18 points when online town halls are used. Learn More »
Behind-the-Scenes Chat: The presenter and moderators can communicate in real time while the meeting is in progress – without constituents viewing these messages.
Multiple Moderators: Our virtual town hall meetings support more than one moderator, so one moderator can grant entrance to the meeting and monitor users, for example, while another screens questions.
Virtual Meetings with Remote Office Staff: In addition to holding town hall meetings with constituents, you can also use our virtual town hall system to conduct video conferences with office staff around the country.
