Elections will be held electronically (preferably) or in person.
By accessing the digital electronic voting platform, between 00:00 and 20:00 - mainland Portugal time (GMT).
On 13 November (Saturday), by email to votoeletronico@ordemdosfisioterapeutas.pt an e-mail will be sent to all Physiotherapists listed in the Electoral Roll of the First Elections of the Order of Physiotherapists with a LINK and the VOTER ID.
The aforementioned LINK (for access to the platform) will also be available on the website of the Order of Physiotherapists.
Once you have accessed the electronic voting platform, you must enter your VOTER ID: Citizen Card (CC) number / Identity Card (ID) number / International Identification Card number. This number must be the one you have registered with the Order of Physiotherapists;
At the same time, on Saturday 13 November, Extreme Solutions will send you a PIN / Voting Key via SMS. With these two elements, you will be able to vote on 15 November between 00:00 and 20:00 (GMT).
If you have lost your PIN/Voting Key, you can request a new one in this window by clicking on "New PIN/Voting Key".
It will also be sent to your mobile phone by SMS. This action cancels the original PIN/Voting Key;
If you have any difficulties, you can click on "Contacts" and ask for help from the Helpdesk of the external company that provides the voting service.
There is also a "Help" button where all the steps for voting are described;
By clicking on "Vote!" you enter the Voting area, which we'll talk about in a moment.
If you choose to vote in person, this will take place at the headquarters of the Order of Physiotherapists, from 07:00 to 20:00 - mainland Portugal time (GMT).
For in-person voting and for those who do not have access to their PIN / Voting Key sent by SMS, sealed envelopes containing PIN / Voting Key will be available.
These envelopes will be numbered on the outside and when they are handed over to a member who requests it - and after confirming on the platform that that member has not yet voted - the number on the outside of the envelope is associated with the voting member on the voting platform, automatically deleting the original voting key previously sent.
The Order of Physiotherapists has contracted a company to provide an electronic voting service - Extreme Solutions (https://www.extremesolutions.pt/ ).
On the website of the Order of Physiotherapists (https://staging.ordemdosfisioterapeutas.pt/eleicoes/ato-eleitoral/ ), this and other issues relating to the 15 November elections are explained.
