Members' consultation
Before taking a proposal to the general meeting, ask: each member gets a single-use ballot, says whether they support the proposal and ranks the priorities, in secret. At the close, you see the result. It's an advisory consultation: decisions your statutes reserve for the general meeting follow their own rules.
Who it's for: Professional bodies, associations, federations and unions.

Suggestions
When to use it
- You're taking a proposal to the general meeting and want to know what members think first.
- You want to know which services members value most.
- You want answers to be secret.
What's inside and why
- Ballots
- One per person and single-use: nobody votes twice and nobody knows what each person answered.
- Rank the services by priority
- A ranking: ordering says more than picking just one.
Tips to get the most out of it
- Set the number of ballots to the size of the register and send them by email.
- Link the proposal's documents in the heading.
- Remind people in the invitation that it's an advisory consultation.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be used for board elections?
Those elections follow your statutes and the law that governs your organisation. This template is for consultations, not the official election.
Is it really secret?
Yes: the ballot only works once and the vote isn't linked to it or to the time; nobody, not even the organiser, can tell what each person answered.
When are the results shown?
When the consultation closes: so nobody is swayed by how others are voting.
