How an election runs, step by step

A short guide to the election workflow. Confirm every step against your governing documents and counsel.

The workflow

Seven steps from organization to records

  1. Step 1: Organization and team

    Create an organization and invite staff with role-based permissions.

  2. Step 2: Voter list

    Import or enter owners, units and voting power. The list is versioned and frozen when the election opens.

  3. Step 3: Election setup

    Configure the election, the ballot and the notice schedule.

  4. Step 4: Notices and nominations

    Send notices, track delivery and review candidates.

  5. Step 5: Voting

    Open voting by the methods your governing documents permit.

  6. Step 6: Participation

    Monitor participation and quorum as counts only.

  7. Step 7: Counting and records

    The independent inspector counts; records are kept for your files.
