A user with vote-management permission can change a vote’s due date and due time from its Edit Vote form. Use this carefully because extending or reopening a vote changes the governance timeline visible to members.
Extend an open vote #
- Open Votes → Items Requiring Action or Vote History.
- Open the vote and select Edit.
- Change Vote Due Date and Vote Due Time.
- Review the description and optional details to make sure you are updating the correct vote.
- Select Update Vote.
- Return to the vote detail page and confirm the new due date and time.
If the vote is already closed #
A past-due vote displays Reopen Vote on its detail page. Only use this action when your organization’s voting policy permits a closed vote to reopen. Confirm the revised deadline and communicate the change to eligible voters.
Permission note: Control visibility did not consistently match create-vote access during production validation. If you are unsure whether your role should edit or reopen votes, stop and ask an administrator before making a change.
