Splitting Your Votes
Last updated August 7, 2026
If you hold more than one vote, for example because you own several units or you're holding proxies with different instructions, your organization may let you split your votes across more than one option instead of casting them all the same way.
Turning it on
When this applies to you, your ballot shows a Split my votes switch below the options. Turn it on and a separate field appears for each option, so you can divide your votes exactly the way you want.
If you leave the switch off, your ballot behaves normally and all of your votes go to the single option you pick.
Quick-fill buttons help with the common cases: put everything on one option, put half there, or drop whatever is left onto the option you're looking at. You can clear it all and start again at any point.
Everything has to add up
Your allocations have to add up to exactly the number of votes you hold, no more and no less. The ballot shows how many you still have left to place as you go. If the numbers don't add up, the ballot will not be accepted.
Abstaining with part of your weight is allowed. If you want to hold some votes back, place them on the abstain option rather than leaving them unallocated. Unplaced votes are what stops the ballot from being accepted.
When you won't see the option
- Your organization has not enabled split voting for the session.
- You hold a single vote, so there is nothing to divide.
- Your voting weight is not a whole number greater than one, for example a percentage-based ownership share such as 2.5. There is nothing whole to divide, so your vote is cast as a single choice in the normal way.
- The question is ranked choice, where you order candidates instead of dividing votes between them.
