Voting in elections

GreekManage runs secure, real-time elections — for chapter officer transitions, org-wide votes, and one-off polls.

When you have a ballot​

When an election opens, you'll see:

  • A Vote now call-out on your dashboard
  • A push notification (if enabled) on the mobile app
  • An email (if enabled in your preferences)

Open Operations → Elections in the sidebar to see all elections you can vote in.

The voter ballot for a chapter election. The voter ballot for a chapter election.

Cast your ballot​

  1. Click Elections → the active election.
  2. Read the description and any candidate statements.
  3. For each position:
    • Choose your candidate (or Abstain).
    • For multi-select positions, pick up to the maximum allowed.
  4. Click Review your ballot.
  5. Confirm your selections and click Submit ballot.

Once submitted, your ballot is locked. You cannot change it.

Anonymity​

GreekManage uses cryptographic ballot secrecy:

  • Officers can see whether you voted (for quorum), but not what you voted for.
  • Vote totals are public after the election closes; individual ballots are not.

Runoff elections​

If your org enables runoffs and no candidate gets a majority, a runoff opens automatically. You'll get a new notification and a new ballot for the top contenders.

Watching live results​

Some elections show live tracking while voting is open: how many people have voted, but not the running totals. Final totals appear only after the election closes.

After close: Elections → [election name] → Results shows the full breakdown.

Missed the deadline?​

Once an election closes, you can't vote. Officers can extend a deadline before close but cannot reopen a closed election.

Tips​

  • Vote early. Tech glitches happen; voting in the first 24 hours leaves time to ask for help.
  • Check your eligibility. If a position requires a specific status (e.g., active undergrad), ineligible voters see "Not eligible" instead of the ballot.
  • Use mobile. The voting flow works on the iOS and Android apps with biometric confirmation.
