Request a Ballot Reset

Resetting a ballot will delete any votes and comments made and will return the ballot to the stage after invitation (pre-ballot).

Standards Committee Chair, Standard Representative, Working Group Chair/Vice Chair

You must supply a reason for resetting the ballot.
When reset, the ballot must be opened again and a draft uploaded, but the ballot group will be maintained.
When reset, even though the number under the column heading "Invitations Sent" will say "0" it does not mean that the ballot pool is not intact.

On the myProject Home Screen click Menu.
Click Invitations/Ballots.
Use the Search Ballots field or Filter by Stage option to locate the desired ballot.
Click on View Ballot Details.
Click on the Related Actions dropdown and click Reset/Terminate Ballot Group.
Click the Reset button and enter a justification in the Justification box.
Click Approve.
Click Yes. The Reset request will be sent to the Program Manager for approval.

Terminating a ballot means that the ballot group will be disbanded upon approval by IEEE staff, who will reset or terminate the ballot as requested.
