Voting instructions and FAQ

Voting instructions and FAQ

IMPORTANT - Test your browser settings, otherwise you might send an empty vote

The voting emails from OpaVote (will be sent to eligible OSM Foundation members on the 2nd of December 2023, after 16:00 UTC) will link directly to the voting page, which will be listing each candidate in random order and allowing you to rank the candidates in order of preference.

If you do not see the names of the candidates on the page linked from the voting email:

  • Please make sure that you have Javascript enabled. Disable any plugins that block content (like Decentraleyes or uBlock Origin). Otherwise the list of the candidates will not be visible and you will send an empty vote.
  • Test your browser settings before voting by visiting this sandbox voting page (link to be added) where you should see a list of OpenStreetMap editors (randomised each time you load the page). Use the same browser settings when you proceed to vote for the election and resolutions. The sandbox page is only for testing purposes: the vote button does not work and votes on the OSM editors are not counted.
  • Cookies must also be allowed to avoid sending an empty vote.

Here (link to be added) is a preview of how the actual voting page should look (except the red arrows and the fake candidate list).
