How to vote
താങ്കളുടെ വോട്ടിംഗ് അനുഭവം സുഗമമായി നടക്കുന്നുവെന്ന് ഉറപ്പുവരുത്താൻ സഹായിക്കുന്ന ചില വിവരങ്ങൾ ചുവടെയുണ്ട്. താങ്കൾ വോട്ട് ചെയ്യുന്നതിന് മുമ്പ് ഈ ഭാഗം ശ്രദ്ധാപൂർവ്വം വായിക്കുക.
- ഈ തിരഞ്ഞെടുപ്പിൽ സിംഗിൾ ട്രാൻസ്ഫറബിൾ വോട്ടിംഗ് രീതിയാണ് ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നത്. കണക്കുകൂട്ടൽ പ്രക്രിയയുടെ ഒരു വിശദീകരണം ഇവിടെ കാണാം.
- On the voting page, the voter will see a sequence of dropdown boxes. The voter will rank candidates from “Preference 1” (most preferred) to “Preference 19” (least preferred).
- Starting from the top, the voter will begin ranking candidates they consider most suitable to be elected. Candidates that the voter believes are least suitable should be marked toward the bottom of their list.
- A voter may stop ranking candidates at any point during the voting process. For example, out of 19 candidates, the voter may only rank the top 6 and not rank the remaining 13.
- Candidates need to be ranked without skipping numbers in-between. Skipping numbers will result in an error. For example:
- Preference one: Susan
- Preference two: (blank)
- Preference three: Joseph
- This is not allowed. Preference three cannot be added without adding preference two.
- A voter may not rank the same candidate multiple times. Ranking the same candidate multiple times will result in an error. For example:
- Preference one: Susan
- Preference two: Susan
- Preference three: Joseph
- This is not allowed. Candidate Susan was ranked twice.
- People can re-vote in the election. It overwrites their previous vote. They can do this as many times as they like.
Voting Example and Best Practices
There have been some questions about voting and how ranking candidates works. Here is a short explanation. Single Transferable Vote helps to rank preferences so you can share more than one choice with your vote. Let’s use colors of shirts as an example this time.
Your employer is ordering shirts for all employees and you need to pick a shirt color. Your employer will order the same two colors of shirts for everyone. They decide to allow everyone to vote. The colors of shirts are:
- Yellow
- Blue
- Orange
- Green
You absolutely love the color blue! Green is your next favorite color. Yellow is a fine color. Orange is not a good color for you at all. You do not like the color orange.
Here is how you should vote:
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow
But you should not rank orange at all.
- Here’s why:
Blue is the color of shirt you absolutely want to wear. A green shirt is your next preference, and you’d be fine with a yellow shirt. You would not at all be happy to wear an orange shirt.
What happens if you add orange to your vote:
You have more of a chance to end up wearing an orange shirt.
- Here's why:
If other people vote and they rank orange shirts higher than blue, green or yellow, your vote could go to orange. If you do not vote for orange, there is no vote of yours that can go to orange. Voting for orange increases the chance your employer will order orange shirts.
How does this relate to the Board of Trustees election?
Vote for the candidates you wish to seat on the Board in the order you prefer the candidates. Do not rank candidates you do not wish to seat on the Board. Only rank candidates you would like to see join the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees.
Now that you know this, do you want to change your vote? No problem. Voters may vote again and this new vote will overwrite the previous vote.

Single Transferable Vote
This voting system allows voters to rank candidates. The benefit of this is voters can rank their choices in order of preference. This helps share your preferences more clearly than support or oppose. If your top choice candidate already has enough votes to be selected, your vote will be moved to your second choice candidate. If your top choice candidate will not win, your vote will be moved to your second choice candidate. And so on.
SecurePoll was updated for this voting system. Meek’s STV with Droop quota is the specific system used.
