How can I help ensure emails inviting me to vote are not blocked as spam / junk mail?

All emails sent by the BallotBox system come from the email address, noreply@BallotBoxOnline.com.  

If you designate that email address as a "safe sender," or add that email address to your contacts, most email systems will reliably deliver BallotBox emails to you. 

If you use Outlook as a desktop email application on your computer, please click this link to open Microsoft’s support article, and then:

  • Pick the version number of your Microsoft Outlook application (2016 / 2013 / 2010, or 2007)
  • For Outlook 2016, 2013, or 2010, click “Add trusted names to the Safe Senders or Safe Recipients Lists”
    • For Outlook 2007, click “Add trusted names to the Safe Senders List”
  • Follow Microsoft's instructions to designate noreply@ballotboxonline.com as a “safe sender”

If you use Outlook.com or Office365.com from Microsoft for your email, you can find those instructions here:

 

If you use Gmail, Thunderbird, or many other email applications, you will need to add noreply@ballotboxonline.com as a new Contact in your address book.

Gmail

  • Be sure you’re logged into the correct Gmail account
  • Open your Gmail Contacts
  • Click the red circular + button in the bottom right corner, or the ADD A CONTACT button

Thunderbird

  • Click the Address Book button
  • Click the New Contact button

iPhone

  • Open the Contacts app
  • Push the + button
  • Push Add Email
  • Enter noreply@ballotboxonline.com and then save the new contact

The steps in other email programs and applications will be similar.
