Use your 25 votes across Elkdom
Every member gets 25 votes to spread around Washington. Support your home lodge and help highlight lodges that are doing great work on communication, online presence, and activity. Votes count toward the Online Presence competition, and lodges that receive steady support through votes and check ins earn bonus points in the standings.

Join the discussion forum
The forum is a place to share ideas, ask questions, and learn what other lodges are doing. A connected state is a stronger state, and every lodge voice matters.

Keep the momentum going
As more members register, activate their accounts, check in, and vote, lodges stand out in the directory and in the Online Presence standings. The lodge that leads the competition will receive a monetary award at the 2026 Summer Convention that can be used for tech improvements. Lodges that consistently receive member check ins and votes earn bonus points in the competition, and a micro grant program is being developed to help with small, lodge based tech needs.
