Runs about two minutes. Nothing to install, and no account needed to use the calculator.
What the calculator does
- One date in. Enter the meeting where ballots are opened and counted, or the day your first notice goes out.
- Every deadline counted backward. The Call for Candidates, the nomination deadline, the pre-ballot notice, the ballot package, the meeting, and the results report.
- Weekends and holidays handled. A deadline that lands on a non-business day moves to a business day without shortening a statutory window.
- A schedule you can share. Download the finished timeline as a PDF, then generate the notice that goes with each date.
The three steps in the video
- 1
Choose your election type
Paper ballots or electronic voting, standard election or acclamation. The choice decides which notices appear on the schedule.
- 2
Enter your date
Work backward from the meeting date, or forward from the day your first notice goes out. The timeline builds as soon as the date is set.
- 3
Review and download
Check each milestone, then take the PDF to your board packet or your manager, and generate the notices when the dates arrive.
