Kavi Help CenterGroup Ballots
This page gives you quick access to all group open ballots and closed ballots. From here, you can access ballot details, go to the group home page and, if you are eligible, cast your vote for a ballot. Links to recently closed ballot details and the complete closed ballots archive are also available. Note: If you have Ballot Manage privileges, you will see a link to Create a New Ballot above the Open Ballots heading. Open ballots are listed chronologically by close date and then alphabetically by name, so the next ballot to close is at the top of the list. Closed ballots are listed chronologically by most recent close date and then alphabetically by name, so the most recently closed ballot is at the top of the list.

- From All Groups, click the name of the group whose ballots you want to view. This takes you to the home page for that group.
- Click the Ballots tab. This takes you to the Group Ballots page.
- Select to view an open ballot by clicking the Vote Status Icon next to the ballot name or the ballot name itself.
