In the event that you are an Ubuntu Member but have not already
received your ballot, first check your spam folders. The email should
have the following identifying headers:

From: "Ubuntu Community Council (CIVS poll supervisor)" 
Sender: civs@cs.cornell.edu
Reply-To: community-council@lists.ubuntu.com
Subject: Poll: Ubuntu Community Council election 2020
X-Mailer: CIVS

If you still cannot find your ballot, it is likely because you do not have a public email address on Launchpad. Please send an email to community-council@lists.ubuntu.com with your name and Launchpad username and we’ll get you a ballot immediately.

Please remember to rank all of the candidates in order of preference.

Voting closes October 20 2022 23:59 UTC.
