Thank you so much Robie for outlining all this in detail.
Since I just activated mine, but needed to try a few addresses I
wanted to describe how it looks.
I hope it will help that everybody knows what to expect.
If you happen to activate the "wrong" email you'll just see:
```
Email address successfully activated.
```
But if you activate the right one (just as Robie said, usually the
@ubuntu.com one) you'd in the Web UI of CIVS right after clicking
"Complete activation" see this:
```
Email address successfully activated.
Pending poll invitations:
Ubuntu Developer Membership Board restaffing
```
The latter line is a link leading you to your vote.
