Voting in the Election

An EIP Token Assignment Registrar (TAR) is a person authorized by EIP to issue Vote Tracking Numbers (VTNs) for a specific election. In our mock election, please follow these instructions:

1. Personally meet with a TAR to obtain a VTN so you can vote. Be prepared to provide a password for your VTN.

   NOTE: treat <your_VTN_password> with care just like it would for your bank account. Do not lose it. If you lose it, you won’t be able to vote.

2. Click on the link “HERE” above provided on this page.

3. From the ‘Home’ menu, Select the ‘Voter’ option.

4. Login

   Password: <your_VTN_password>

5. (Optional) Select the ‘Election’ menu item from the hamburger menu bar on the top right side of the screen so you can see the state of the election before you vote. NOTE: These are the realtime election results.

6. (Optional) If you want, take a picture of the screen so that after your vote, you will see the vote count increase. Depending on how many people are voting at the time, you may not be able to catch your vote as a part of the count, but in any case, your choice total should be higher after you vote than what the number was before you voted. For example, if there were 5 votes for strawberry before you voted, there should be at least 6 votes for strawberry after you vote.

7. Select the ‘Your Vote’ menu item. This will display the ballot along with the available options. You can change your selection until you press the VOTE button after which point, your vote will be recorded and can no longer be changed. That’s it! Congratulations, you have voted!

8. (Optional) Again, if you want to, select the ‘Election’ menu item from the hamburger menu bar on the top right side of the screen

   NOTE: The election count for the option you chose should be at least one higher than it was before you voted

Your vote will be permanently recorded as a part of a distributed ledger. Using your password, you can login now and forevermore to see and track your vote.

You can also download the entire election and count the votes yourself.
