How to Vote

This guide is for anyone who has been sent a vote page link and wants to cast a vote.

Open the page

Click the link the organiser shared (it looks like izivote.com/v/...) or use the vote embedded on their website. You will see the vote’s title and its categories, each with a list of nominees to choose from.

If the page is still being set up you may see a Coming Soon message, check back later. If voting has ended you will see that voting is closed.

Cast your vote

Browse the categories. In each category, review the nominees. On many pages you can click a nominee’s photo to see more details about them.
Pick your choice. Select the nominee you want. Depending on the page’s design, you either click the nominee’s card or a radio button next to their name.
Vote. Click the Vote button. You vote once per category, so you can make a choice in each category on the page.

Use the search box (Find a nominee) and the Categories filter at the top of the page to jump around if there are many options.

Signing in to vote

Some pages ask you to verify who you are so everyone gets a fair single vote. What you see depends on how the organiser set up the page:

Open pages - no sign-in, just vote.
Google - click Vote with Google and sign in. Your choice is submitted automatically after you sign in.
Identity pages - click Vote with your ID and enter the identity the organiser gave you (contact them if you are not sure what to use). Some organisations use single sign-on instead (Vote with SSO or Vote with OAuth).
Paid pages - click Pay to Vote. A payment window opens where you enter your email and the number of votes you want to buy, review the total, and pay securely by card. Please keep the vote page open while you pay.

[!NOTE] On paid votes, transaction charges apply and payments are non-refundable. The exact terms are linked in the payment window before you pay.

After you vote

You will see a confirmation, and voted nominees are marked (for example with a Voted tick). If the organiser has chosen to show results, you can see the current standings. Many pages also let you share the vote so others can take part too.

Trouble voting?

“You have already voted” - each voter gets one vote per category. This is expected.
A social login window did not open - allow pop-ups for the site and try again.
Something else - the organiser runs the vote, so reach out to whoever shared the link with you.
