Who this template is for
Committee Election Ballot Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in awards, contests & voting.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 15 questions across 3 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 11 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Are you voting by proxy for another member?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Name of the member you represent”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Is your membership subscription current?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “Explain your membership status”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Do you wish to record a comment for the minutes?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Comment for the minutes”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Are you voting by proxy for another member?” is Yes, “Proxy authority reference” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Small organisations run elections that matter and lose them to process. This ballot is built around the three things a challenged result depends on. Eligibility: the member gives their membership number and confirms their subscription is current, and a member who says it is not is routed to a note explaining that their ballot will be held pending verification rather than silently discarded. One choice per post: chair, secretary, treasurer and ordinary member are separate single-answer questions, with an abstain option on each, because forcing a choice produces spoiled papers. Proxies: a member voting on behalf of somebody else declares it and gives the name and authority reference, which is exactly the record a dispute needs. The ballot closes with a declaration and the date, and the export gives the returning officer a countable table with a membership number against every line, so turnout and result can be published together.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Load the candidates
Replace the sample candidate names for each post with those from the nomination form.
- 2
Keep abstain on every post
An abstain option prevents spoiled ballots and gives you a truer turnout figure.
- 3
Circulate to members only
Send the link to the membership list and state the closing time in the covering email.
- 4
Verify then count
Check membership numbers against the register first, then count each post separately.
- 5
Publish the result
Announce the count, the turnout and the returning officer's name in the same notice.
Mistakes to avoid
- Not checking membership status, so non-members vote and the result can be challenged.
- Allowing more than one choice for a single post, which spoils the ballot.
- Losing the proxy paperwork, which is the part a disputed election always turns on.

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop non-members voting?
The membership number and subscription confirmation are checked against your register before counting, and unverified ballots are held rather than counted.
Can members vote by proxy?
Yes, if your rules allow it. A proxy vote declares the member represented and the authority reference, which is what a dispute turns on.
Is an online ballot valid for an AGM?
Check your constitution. Many now permit it explicitly; the audit trail this form produces is usually what the constitution asks for.
Should the ballot be secret?
The membership number is needed for eligibility, so restrict access to the export to the returning officer and state that in the notice.

Yes. You can preview and test Committee Election Ballot Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
