+excerpt: Register to vote for the Haveno Council seats.
+author: Haveno Core Team
+---
+
+Hello all, this is information on registering to vote for Haveno Council's 3rd (possibly 4th and 5th seats) seats.
+
+Current requirements to register to vote are a working email and a known online screen name from one of the given services in the form.
+
+The polls will take place using the CIVS ([https://civs1.civs.us/](https://civs1.civs.us/)) voting software, and will take place in two parts.
+
+There will be a Primary election with a write-in, then the top 5 ranked candidates will be nominated to the General election, where the winners will be chosen from the top 3.
+
+Emails will be sent out from the CIVS platform once the polls have started.
+
+(Times listed in EST)
+
+Voter registration is open now, and will be closed on 02/20 (Tuesday) at 3PM.
+
+Primary election will start on 02/20 at 3PM, and end on 02/21 at 3PM.
+
+General election will start on 02/21 at 3PM and end on 02/22 at 3PM.
+
+
+### Instructions below:
+
+Register to vote using this form: [https://vote.haveno.exchange/form/GVkRjB](https://vote.haveno.exchange/form/GVkRjB)
+Activate your email on CIVS. This will save you an email from us.
+
+Confirm you can receive emails from CIVS (civs@cornell.edu) and Haveno (info@haveno.exchange) to make sure that they aren’t going to spam.
+
+You will be emailed a link to vote for each poll. The email will start with “Poll:”. Make sure to verify the supervisor is info@haveno.exchange! It’s unlikely, but you may receive fake emails from someone else asking for you to vote!
+
+Vote by ranking the choices (1 is best).
+
+Save your receipt if you want the option to edit your vote!
+
+### Important notes:
+
+Aggregate voting results will be made public.
+
+Do NOT share your voting link with anyone else.
+
+If you have not yet received a voting email more than 24 hours after the intended launch time, please email info@haveno.exchange for assistance.
+
+If you did not register your email with CIVS before the poll started, you will see a link to the poll after registering.
+
+Confirm the supervisor is info@haveno.exchange
