Collecting membership feedback can be very useful to many organizations, to help, a ballot can be set up to collect feedback from voters without needing to make a selection on a formal ballot question. If you are looking to collect feedback as part of a ballot question where voters are required to make a selection, please see Ask for Comments.


Setup

From "Position or Question Type", choose Nominations, then select Continue.

In "Add Question Details", enter a Question Title, then select Continue.

Configure the ballot options in the below two areas;

Voters nominate

  • Can be customized by selecting “Other”.

  • Enter a custom text or leave it blank.

  • Unselect "Capture Nominations" so nominations are no longer required

Question settings

  • Enable "Ask for comments" in the question settings

  • The instructions for the comments box can be changed from the default instructions

  • Comments are optional, so voters can submit a ballot without comments
