How to Vote

Register to vote

To register, go to my.ripe.net. Click on General Meeting on the left-hand menu and follow the instructions. One person from each member organisation is entitled to vote at the GM. The organisation must have been a RIPE NCC member for longer than six months.

Important: Please retain the e-mail with your GM Registration Number as you will need it to log in to the voting system.

The deadline to register for voting is 29 November 2023 at 14:00 (UTC+1).

Voting instructions

The GM will use Assembly Voting, a third-party online voting platform. Voting requires two-factor authentication and voters will receive two emails from Assembly Voting. Once voting is open, all eligible voters with a link can access the voting pages and cast their vote.

Voting opens: Wednesday, 29 November during the GM
Voting closes: Friday, 1 December at 09:00 (UTC+1)

How to vote

Overview:
  • All registered eligible voters will receive Voting Code 2 from Assembly Voting by email. This code is identical to your GM Registration Number. Assembly Voting will send another email containing a unique link to the online voting platform and Voting Code 1 (which is pre-filled).
  • Voters need to use their unique link to access the voting platform and must enter Voting Code 2 in order to cast their vote.
  • This link will be only active when the vote is open.
Step-by-step guide:

1. You will receive two emails from Assembly Voting. The first e-mail contains “Voting Code 2”, which is your GM Registration Number.

Troubleshooting

  • If you have not received the voting emails, please contact agm@ripe.net. Both emails will be sent before the election opens on 29 November at approximately 18:00 (UTC+1).
  • If you are using Safari on your mobile, the pre-filled code (Voting Code 1) might not appear. In this case, you need to copy/paste it from the e-mail containing the link to the voting platform.
  • Please be aware that Internet Explorer cannot be used to access the system.
