Delegations play a crucial role in shaping the future of Scouting through active participation in decision-making of the World Scout Conference. This process is supported by clear voting protocols outlined in the Conference Rules of Procedures.
Ourelectronic voting(eVoting)system is unique to World Scouting — designed specifically to meet the needs of the Conference. It is an upgraded version of the system used at previous World and Regional Conferences, which has been thoroughly tested by World Scout Bureau staff and volunteers to ensure its reliability and credibility. This system will be used in all decision-making sessions of the Conference, whether delegations are attending in-person or online.
Backup voting options
When voting online, it’s crucial to be prepared for and minimise any potential risks. We’ve created a series of comprehensive procedures to handle different situations that may arise.
If there’s an issue with the electronic voting system, the Chairperson will allow for the switch to a backup system established and tested by the World Scout Bureau. Details on this backup will only be shared if needed.
