All Ballots
This page gives you quick access to all open ballots and recent closed ballots that have been shared with the organization general membership. From here, you can access ballot details, go to the home page for the ballot group sponsor and, if you are eligible, cast your vote for a ballot. Links to recently closed ballot details and the complete closed ballots archive are also available. Open ballots are listed chronologically by close date and then alphabetically by name, so the next ballot to close is at the top of the list. Closed ballots are listed chronologically by most recent close date and then alphabetically by name, so the most recently closed ballot is at the top of the list.
To view all public ballots:
- From All Groups, click Ballots above the Available Groups heading. This takes you to the Ballots page for the organization.
- Select to view an open ballot by clicking the Vote Status Icon next to the ballot name or the ballot name itself. To view closed ballots, scroll down to the Recent Closed Ballots section and select a ballot by clicking on the Vote Status Icon or the ballot name. To view a complete list of closed ballots, click Closed Ballots Archive.
