Step 1: Complete the Brainstorm - Filling out the Flip Chart

Voting occurs after a brainstorming exercise or after the facilitator has prepared a Topic flip chart with a set of items to vote on. Plan out the voting step in your meeting plan before you begin; however, you won't actually prepare the voting ballots until after the flip chart is full of items.

Best Practice - Practice the Move from Brainstorming to Voting

Practice moving from brainstorming to voting ahead of time so you are ready to "go live." You won't actually set up the voting until after the brainstorming activity and you have a flip chart full of great ideas that need prioritizing.
