Nominations

Open the nominations, hear every candidate

A nomination period lets residents stand for a position. Each one nominates themselves and writes a statement, and everyone can read the nominees.

  • Self-nomination with a candidate statement
  • Edit your statement, or withdraw
  • Nominees listed with their statements

Ballot

One ballot per home, with abstain where allowed

Each home has one vote per position, cast by its voting representative. In each position they vote on, the voter picks a candidate, or abstains where the election allows it, then submits the ballot.

  • One vote per position per household
  • The voting representative votes for the home
  • Candidates shown with their statements
  • Abstain where the election allows it

A final ballot

A cast vote is final

Before a vote is cast, a last prompt shows the choice and says it cannot be changed. Keep choosing, or cast it.

  • A last look at the choice before it is cast
  • Keep choosing to go back
  • A cast vote cannot be changed
