Electronic Voting
Soroptimist International of the Americas, Inc.® will open the electronic ballot portal for electoral area voting on Wednesday, October 30. If your club is in good standing on that day, your club will receive a unique personalized link sent to the @soroptimist.net club email address. The email will come from the address “vote@ simplyvoting.com”. This link cannot be transferred or used by another club. It is authentic to your club, allows entrance to the voting portal and ensures your club only votes once in the election.
Information on how to access your club’s @soroptimist.net email is available on the SIA website if your club has not accessed your club email previously.

The resumes for all the electoral area candidates are now available for your club to review on the SIA website.
