How do I send a reminder about an open vote?

< 1 min read

Vote managers can remind eligible members while a vote remains open. The reminder action is available from the vote detail page before the deadline.

Before you begin: This action sends an external message. Confirm that the vote is open, the deadline is correct, and a reminder is appropriate before continuing.

Send the reminder #

  1. Open Votes → Items Requiring Action.
  2. Open the vote you want to review.
  3. Check the description, deadline, response totals, and no-response list.
  4. Select Send Reminder.
  5. Follow the confirmation shown by BoardSite and verify the success message before leaving the page.

If Send Reminder is not available #

  • A past-due vote displays Reopen Vote instead of Send Reminder.
  • Your role may not include vote-management permission.
  • The vote may not be available to your current committee or organization context.

Recipient check: Review the response and no-response information on the vote detail page before sending. If you need to confirm exactly who will receive a reminder in your organization’s configuration, test the workflow with a synthetic vote and test recipients first.
