Sample ballot
Which social should we run this semester?
This is the real thing — the same ballot layout members get, and the same counting engine officers rely on. Nothing here is signed in, and no data is stored.
What a member sees
OpenRank these from most to least appealing.
- 1Topgolf night
- 2Bowling social
- 3Networking dinner
- 4Beach day
Ranked ballots let a member say what they'd settle for, not just their favourite — which is how a poll avoids picking something half the club dislikes.

A plain vote count would have hidden this. Half the club would show up; the other half would quietly not.
