Slate and Choice Groups

A slate is a group of candidates running together for multiple positions, typically because they share a unified policy or vision. Simplify your ballot by grouping candidates into a slate. Instead of making voters select individuals for every single open position, slate voting allows them to support an entire team with one seamless selection.

Choice groups allow you to enforce specific selection rules to match your bylaws. For example, does your board require at least one junior member, or is there a specific diversity requirement that must be met? By setting up a choice group, you can build these exact rules directly into the voting process. The system seamlessly guides voters to meet your criteria before they can successfully cast their vote, ensuring every submitted ballot meets your rules.

Facilitate campaigns and simplify the voting experience. ElectionBuddy makes it easy for candidates who share a common vision to run as a team.

How you organize your candidates can shape the voting experience in a couple of helpful ways:

• For Voters: Simplifies the ballot. With just one selection, voters can support a unified team and shared vision rather than researching every single candidate.

• For Candidates: Empowers individuals with common goals to join forces and campaign as a united front.

• For Administrators: Guarantees balanced representation. It ensures the elected group automatically meets the organization's specific demographic, geographic, or role-based bylaws.
