Election Emails

There are two ways to email an election out to all or portions of your active membership.  The first way is via the email link on the last page of the Election Creation Wizard.  The second way is to navigate to the Elections module from the Administrative area and click on the Email function (envelope icon) next to the election you'd like to inform people about.

Sending Elections - Page One - The Message
If you're already familiar with our Broadcast Message System, you should have no problem here.  By default, the system will fill in a lot of the information for you.

• Sender - A friendly name like "Jane Smith" or "2015 Organization Election"
• Sender (Reply) Email - The email address of the person designated to receive voter questions regarding this election
• Subject - The subject of the email
• Message - A content-rich area where images and links can be added in order to raise interest about the election.  Note: This message will be going out via email.  Keeping it simple is key.

• Add Individuals - The first list shows every member you have.  Hold CTRL when clicking to select multiples
• Add Individuals Based on Criteria - The second list shows a member list limited by the criteria you selected when setting up the Election.  Hold CTRL when clicking to select multiple members.
• By Membership Plan/List - Membership plans that you've created will show up in this list.  Select one and add the members currently part of that plan.
• By Project/Committee - If you've created any Projects/Committees, you can add the members currently part of that Project/Committee with this dropdown.
