When the need arises for voting on Committee Members or Project Technical Leads we recommend using the Condorcet Internet Voting Service
( CIVS ) system from Cornell University. http://civs.cs.cornell.edu/

Make sure your spam filter does not block mail from civs@cs.cornell.edu or you may not receive a the necessary links or a ballot. Ballots can only be resent from the tool, they cannot be sent as a forward from an individual. |
For the most part you can just click "Create A Poll" in the upper right hand corner and fill out the form, but there are a few specifics that should be followed:
- Set the name of the poll to be something unambiguous such as "Foo-Sniblette PTL Election 2017"
- Make sure the end date/time includes the specific time zone you are using
- In addition to listing each candidate name, the following two values should also be added as "candidates"
- I abstain from voting in this election
- I am voting against all candidates
- The poll should be set to "private" to ensure that people can only vote once
- Select detailed ballot reporting - BUT DO NOT check the nested "reveal the identity of the voter" check box.
After you click "Create Poll" CIVS will send you a link that will actually start and send the poll.
