How to vote on the Agorize Platform?

Creating an account to vote

As a jury member, you will be asked to create an account on the platform in order to take part in a vote. To get started, click on the URL link of the voting platform sent to your email address by the challenge Organizers. Please provide your first name, last name, email address and a password to set up your account. These information will remain strictly confidential and will help the Organizers to clearly identify the voters. These information will not be used for any other purposes than to ensure that voting will take place in an orderly manner.

A confirmation email will be automatically sent to the email address provided: click on the URL link contained in that email to confirm the creation of your account. If you cannot find it, don’t forget to first check your spam folder before reaching out to an Admin.

If the challenge Organizers invite you to take part in another vote, you will not need to create another account. Your account is your own and can be used to get access to any other voting platforms of a challenge hosted on the Agorize Platform.
