How to vote

Voting members will receive invitations to vote by email beginning at 9:00 am Eastern Time on July 25.

You will only be able to vote via the unique link on the bottom of this email

When the window opens, voting members will receive an email to their primary NACDL email address from NACDL Elections (elections@nacdl.org) with a unique link to take voters to their ballot. Do not forward or delete this email, as the link is unique. It cannot be recovered or reset, and once the link unique to your account is used and your vote is confirmed, you will not be able to vote again.

Example of voting invitation email

Click the link in the voting invitation that reads "Start Voting >>". From there, cast your vote and click submit. You will then need to confirm your vote before it is counted.


Confirming your vote

Your vote will not be counted until you confirm it. After you submit your vote, you will receive a separate email sent to the same email address at which you received the invitation to vote with a link to confirm your vote. You must confirm your vote for it to be counted.

Once your vote is confirmed, you will receive a final email thanking you for confirming your vote. This email means that your vote is recorded.
