1	1	OSI Board seats are filled through elections among the Individual Members and the Affiliates (some seats are designated as member-elected, others are affiliate-elected). We use the same [[online voting system>>url:https://elections.opensource.org/]] for all elections. Elections at the OSI generally use [[http:~~/~~/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting Approval Voting>>url:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting%20Approval%20Voting]] method, or else the [[Ranked Choice>>url:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting]] voting method (also known as “Instant Runoff”, “Transferable Vote”, “Preferential Vote”, or “Alternative Vote”). The choice is partly determined by the state of the software and UI support; currently the system is ready to do Approval Voting, and we're working on getting the UI for other methods ready.

3	3	All voting is done by email. As an OSI member, you will receive an email with instructions on how to vote; the instructions will include a URL with a unique token where you can cast your vote(s) at elections.opensource.org. The candidate list will be on the ballot page, and there will be links to further information about the candidates. (If you think that ballot email might be in your spam folder, search for “election-admin” or “elections.opensource.org” to find it.)
