What is this about?

501c3 nonprofit MNFurs has a board of directors, and the time has come to vote new directors. Each term lasts 2 years before voting is conducted to vote on new members (or members that run again). You can read more about the MNFurs Board of Directors, and what they do here.

Why didn't I get a Voting Code?

Please email [email protected] and request a voting code. Once you get a code back, you can vote.

Is My Vote Anonymous?

Yes. One set of individuals are tasked with generating a unquie "Voter ID" for each eligible MNFurs member. This code is provided to each member via email or other direct known method. Upon completion of the election process, and after voting is closed, a completely different set of individuals are tasked with counting the votes.

The people tasked with counting votes can only see the "Voter ID", and which candidates were voted for. They have no way of knowing which Voter ID belongs to which member.
