Quick answer
Councils running a town hall, community forum or public consultation meeting can use simple wristbands to check in attendees and track engagement across multiple sessions or drop-in times.
Community consultation events often run across several sessions or drop-in times, and a wristband gives council staff a fast way to confirm who's attended without checking a sign-in sheet all day.
Why councils use wristbands at consultation events
A wristband confirms attendance at a glance, useful for councils needing to record engagement numbers across a public meeting or drop-in session.
Simple check-in for town halls and forums
Handing out a wristband at the door is faster than checking names off a list, especially for a busy public meeting with a steady stream of attendees.
