A step-by-step guide to placing your vote in WebCentral

  1. Log in to your WebCentral account at: http://portal.brooklyn.edu. If you don’t remember your WebCentral ID or Password, please refer to the “Forgot Your WebCentral ID” or “Forgot Your Password” options below the login button.
  2. The “Student Government Elections” channel is available on the “Home” tab and as a shortcut link during the election period. You can only place your vote within this time period.

     
  3. Press the "Cast Your Vote" button to proceed.
  4. Your eligibility to vote in the various elections depends on your student status:

    • Day Undergraduate students are eligible to participate in the CLAS elections.

    • Evening Undergraduate students are eligible to participate in the SGS elections.

    • Graduate students are eligible to participate in GSO elections.

      If you feel there is an error in your record preventing access to a specific election, please contact the Office of Student Development at: 718-951-4578 or visit them on the Student Center (3rd Floor.).

  5. Once your eligibility has been determined, the following screen will appear:

    Press the “Continue” button to proceed to the ballot.


     
  6. Select or write-in your desired candidates and press the “Submit My Votes” button when you complete your selections. Keep in mind that write-in votes are subject to a thorough review by the Elections Commissioners.



    You can choose to vote later by pressing the “I Will Vote Later” button or by closing your web browser window at any time. You will be able to access the elections channel from WebCentral again as long as you return prior to the close of the election period.

  7. After submitting your vote, you will be prompted to confirm your selections. Pressing “OK” will submit your ballot for processing and pressing “Cancel” will return to the ballot page, where you can update your selections.



    Your votes will only be counted one time.
