Enter paper ballot counts

The returning officer enters the paper ballot count for a secret ballot after voting closes.

If you used paper ballots for a secret vote at the venue, the returning officer adds the paper count after voting closes. Paper ballots must be turned on in the meeting settings.

Steps

1. Wait for the chair to close voting on the resolution. See Open and close voting.
2. Open the Records tab.
3. Under Paper ballot count, type the numbers For, Against and Abstain.
4. Choose Save count.

Good to know

• Until the count is entered, the result shows "Awaiting paper count".
• If the count needs fixing, a second officer has to make the correction.
• Paper votes show as Paper in the voting count.
