Electronic Voting
Only a registered administrative contact of your organization can vote electronically. The admin-contact can also assign the voting right (through MyAFRINIC) to another registered contact.
How to vote

Members can cast their votes through their ‘registered contact’ (also known as ‘Administrative Contact’) or by proxy.
Online Voting (e-voting)

a. Log on to MyAFRINIC at https://my.afrinic.net/login;
b. Navigate to ‘Election’ and ‘Access Election Centre’;
