How does BallotPoint work?
Each union member is assigned a unique voter identification number (VIN) and then chooses a personal identification number (PIN). Using your VIN and PIN, you access the balloting system either by telephone or Internet. Upon successful access, simply select the ballot from a list presented to you by the system, indicate your ballot choices and submit the ballot. When submitted, your vote is deposited in a secure vote repository. You are then asked to review and confirm the deposited vote, at which time you are given a unique vote confirmation number to use later to view your vote as it appears on the official tally sheet. BallotPoint is the only election methodology that allows all voters to view and confirm the details of their votes as shown on the final tally sheet, while maintaining complete ballot secrecy.
