Voting System Outline
Once the member receives their initial Registration Letter, they can go to the web address of the Registration page and sign up.
Registration page web address is: http://www.bcpba.org/links/register
The above web address actually redirects the user to a longer url which is in a secure directory on the server. https://secure.bcpba.org/members/register-to-vote.html
For a member to register, they must enter their email address and the PIN Number that was provided to them in the Registration Letter.
They also create a username and password from the same form.
After all fields are complete, they click the Submit button to submit the form. After submitting the form, they receive an email with a confirmation link for them to click on in order to complete the registration process. After which, they can login to the system and view all the information on the pages of the voting site.
The confirmation email also provides the web address to log in to the voting system. That web address is: http://www.bcpba.org/links/voting
Once again, this is a web address that redirects the user to the secure login page, which is:
https://secure.bcpba.org/members/index.html
