Voting with GNAA

This year, the Greater Nashville Apartment Association is implementing a new method for Election voting. By utilizing an online voting platform, voting is more accessible, allowing members to vote from the comfort of their office. Key features such as personalized ballots and confirmation of cast ballots are just a few of the highlights accompanying online voting platforms.

Electronic Voting - How it works 

At the beginning of the GNAA election, an email will be sent to all GNAA members containing their member identification, email, username, and password. Once logged in, the ballot will present a selection of nominees along with the positions they are currently pursuing. Each candidate will be able to provide a biography and headshot to accompany their nomination. After making selections, GNAA members will review their ballot one last time before officially submitting. Members will receive a confirmation email confirming their vote has been cast after submitting. Members will not be able to re-vote or change their votes after this process is complete.

Members will have until the end of Election night on October 19th to cast their vote. Voting on-site will be available.

Voting at the GNAA Office

Members who choose to vote in person can do so at the GNAA office or at the Election night on October 19th. The GNAA office is located at 2 International Plaza, Suite 201, Nashville, TN 37217, If members choose to vote in person, an assigned staff member will securely input their information into the platform.

Block Voting

Block voting is an option. However, if a company wishes to block vote, they must submit their request ahead of time. Any company that wishes to block vote must contact GNAA President, Ginny Johnson at ginnyjohnson@gnaa.org.
