Member voting

You can express your opinion in member votes! Member votes are advisory votes in which Tradeka members can express their opinions. Votes may concern, for example, donations or the development of member benefits. Each member vote includes information about what is being voted on and how the result of the vote will affect decision-making.

Voting takes place on topics submitted to the Oma Tradeka service. Each member can only cast one vote per vote, and votes cannot be changed later. Voting is completely anonymous.

In addition to member votes, members can influence decisions by creating and voting on their own member initiatives.
