Mail-in Ballot
A mail-in ballot is a type of ballot that voters receive and send back through the mail. Mail-in ballots can make the voting process more convenient for members, although associations do need to account for postal delays and potential lost ballots in the mail. Give yourself as much time as your bylaws permit to send and receive mail-in ballots before the election cutoff date. It’s best to track paper ballots during an election to avoid disenfranchising eligible voters.
