E-Ballots Sent Out for BBRSDA Board Election

Electronic ballots have been sent out to BBRSDA members for the 2022 Board of Directors election. Members will follow the link in the email or text message they received to cast their vote via the secure ElectionBuddy voting platform. The deadline for submitting your e-ballot is April 4, 2022, at 11:59pm (AKT). Regardless of whether you vote through the email or text message link, members will only be able to submit one ballot per S03T permit owned.

E-ballots were not sent to BBRSDA members who 1) requested a paper ballot, 2) opted out of the election, or 3) did not have a phone number associated with their permit. Recall that BBRSDA mailed out voter contact cards several weeks ago where you could update your contact information and make these other selections.

Answers to Potential Questions:

I tried to vote but got an error message. What’s going on?

Most likely you have given the same ranking to more than one candidate for Seat G. No two (or more) candidates for Seat G can be ranked the same. Also, the electronic voting system requires that you must vote for one (and only one) candidate for Seats A & D, or you must select abstain.

I got a text message and want to vote, but do not have internet access on my phone… how do I vote?

1. Get to a computer with internet access.

2. Enter this address into an internet browser: https://secure.electionbuddy.com/ballot

3. Enter your unique access key and click the “Vote now” button. Your 16-digit access key can be found in the text message you received (it is the code that comes after “ebv.io/”). You can enter in the key with or without dashes and it is not case-sensitive.

4. You’ll be taken to your unique e-ballot, then just make your vote choices and submit them. Save your confirmation code if you ever wish to confirm your ballot was counted.

I did not get any text message or email, is there any way I can still vote?

Yes, this likely occurred because the phone number associated with your S03T permit is a landline. In this case, call BBRSDA at 907-677-2371 from the phone number associated with your permit. Our staff will assist you in getting access to your e-ballot.    

Any other questions about gaining access to your e-ballot?

Please call BBRSDA at 907-677-2371 during office hours (Monday-Friday, 7am – 3pm AKT).
