About Voter Registration

What is it?: Voter registration allows you to restrict polls to authorized voters, and ensure that they only vote once.
How do I use it?: Enter up to 500 email addresses in the box on the form. Each email must be on a separate line, in the form name@domain.org (there can be a comma afterward). The email addresses will only be used to authenticate ballots. You will need to announce the poll on your own. You should make sure that each email address corresponds to a unique, real voter.
How does it work?: Voters are required to enter their email addresses in order to cast a vote. If a voter is authorized and has not voted yet, the vote will be counted, and an email confirmation is sent.
How does this prevent fraud?: It prevents multiple votes from the same person, and detects and traces imposters so that damage can be corrected. This will be sufficient unless there is hostility within your group.
What happens when my poll expires?: No new votes will be accepted as of the beginning of the day of expiration, according to the server's clock, which currently reads 23:33. After that, anyone may cast a vote to see who it counts for, but the vote will not be added to the tally. The poll will be subject to deletion two weeks after the expiration date.
What will you do with my voters' email addresses?: Voter addresses are used only to confirm votes. Your address information will be used only with regard to your poll.
