It&nbsp;lists&nbsp;every eligible voter and prospective nominee. Keeping the role up to date is a crucial aspect of any election.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Go through your electoral roll and ensure that any former members are no longer listed. Conversely, make sure that all new members have been added. If there are members with special voting rights, make sure their rights are clearly listed. While your roll must at least include the name of the members, POLYAS suggests also featuring their contact details. This will allow you to easily send them information regarding the election. Have members fill in their contact details when joining the college.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of regulatory college elections, members can only nominate and vote within their district. Therefore, it is vital that the voters are properly segmented into groups.<\/p>\n<p>POLYAS recommends keeping the electoral roll on a digital spreadsheet.
