Thank you so much Robie for outlining all this in detail. Since I just activated mine, but needed to try a few addresses I wanted to describe how it looks. I hope it will help that everybody knows what to expect. If you happen to activate the "wrong" email you'll just see: ``` Email address successfully activated. ``` But if you activate the right one (just as Robie said, usually the @ubuntu.com one) you'd in the Web UI of CIVS right after clicking "Complete activation" see this: ``` Email address successfully activated. Pending poll invitations: Ubuntu Developer Membership Board restaffing ``` The latter line is a link leading you to your vote. > This announcement is being sent to a moderated announcement mailing > list.
