How BallotLink runs an HOA election

For someone considering BallotLink who wants to know exactly what the process involves before they commit — the page that removes fear of the unknown.

Content spec: playbook 4.3 How It Works

Planned sections

Each of these becomes an H2 with an answer block of 40 words or fewer directly beneath it, then the proof.

• Before you start: what you need
• Step 1: the inspector creates the election
• Step 2: election rules go out
• Step 3: ballots are delivered by email and on paper
• Step 4: members vote during the voting period
• Step 5: the inspector resolves write-ins and finalizes
• How long the whole process takes
• What happens if something goes wrong
• Questions about the process

Needed before this page can be written

• Real elapsed times for each step, so the timings are sourced rather than estimated (RULE 5).
• The actual onboarding path — confirmed with Brandon, since the contact form is the real front door.
• A screenshot or diagram per step. Product screenshots need Brandon’s sign-off before they go on a public page.
• HowTo schema with a step[] array once the steps are final.

Meanwhile

The pages that are written are the homepage, the guide forInspectors of Elections, and the one for election services companies.
