Ballot Distribution:
You will receive a ballot if you are the company representative for an Enterprise member company of the Adoptium Working Group.
Election Information:
Eclipse Working Group elections are performed using a process known as Single Transferable Vote, which requires each voter to complete a ranked ballot. By ranked ballot we mean that each voter ranks the candidates in their order of preference.
The advantage of this approach is being able to elect multiple candidates at the same time which reflect the voters’ preferences.
The Eclipse Foundation uses a third party election system [1] that performs the election calculations. Elections are performed with high integrity where a unique link is created with a random and secret access key for each voter. Additionally, voter anonymity uses secret ballots ensuring voters’ choices cannot be linked to voters. Voters must rank all candidates and cannot award two candidates the same ranking.
If you are a standing candidate in an election, please know you can certainly vote for yourself! In fact, it is quite normal to rank yourself (or the organization you are voting on behalf of) as your #1 (highest) selection.
Ballots will be distributed on March 24th and the voting period will remain open until March 31th 2025. Should you expect to receive a ballot but do not, please first check your spam filter.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
