Voting on the E-Ballot

After logging in and accessing the e-ballot, the entire ballot will be on the screen for you to vote. As you scroll, complete the following for each category:
  1. Select the rank you wish to give each finalist.
  2. No Award is the final option on the ballot.
    1. The "Submit" Button is at the very bottom of the ballot
    2. Save as you go” buttons are at the end of each category

You can make as many changes as you like to your ballot until the deadline.

Notes on Voting:

When the ballots are counted, all the first place votes will be tabulated.

If no finalist receives more than half of the votes, the finalist with the fewest first place votes is eliminated, and their votes are transferred to the finalists with the next preferences on those ballots.

This process of elimination of the last-placed finalist and redistribution of their votes to the next available preference continues until one finalist has more than half of all remaining votes, at which point that finalist becomes the winner (except under specific conditions described in Sections 3.6 and 3.12 of the WSFS Constitution).
