Election System

We offer an election system for McGill organizations, which includes features such as:

  • secure McGill authentication, to ensure all voters have McGill credentials
  • customizable elections, including logo display, formatted blurbs, pictures, multiple-candidate voting, and more
  • automatic emails, and at-request reminder emails

To inquire about using our system, please contact us at ctf.science@mail.mcgill.ca.

We require that organizations provide us with the following information:

  • The dates and times of the period during which the election should take place
  • The list of positions people will vote to elect someone for
    • Optionally, you may supply a description of each position
  • The list of candidates for each of those positions
    • Optionally, you may supply a text blurb for each candidate and/or an image to show with their name.
  • The list of McGill email addresses of people who may vote in the election
    • This should be a plain text file, one email address per line. Lines end with newline characters.
  • Optionally, a particular name for the election. If they don’t supply this, we will choose a name for you.
    • Optionally, you can also supply a description for the entire election.
  • Optionally, a logo for the requesting group to be displayed on the election page.

If you need clarification on any of these points, feel free to email us with questions.
