When is the election?

The 2008 Election for officer, trustee-at-large positions and proposed amendments to the Academy's Governance documents opens on Nov. 10, 2008 and closes after 30 days.

How can I vote in the election?

Members can vote online or by mail. Election materials, including a unique E-Signature (for online voters), will be mailed to active voting Fellows and Members registered by Oct. 10, 2008.

This is an optional election. There is no provision allowing for absentee ballots; a member cannot vote on behalf of another member if he/she is unable to cast a ballot for him/herself.

What are the benefits to voting online?

Online voting offers greater accessibility to the official ballot than traditional voting methods. Members can vote from home, work, a local library or any computer with Internet access. Online voting assures quicker reporting and an efficient audit process.

Where can a member go for help?

Members should contact the Academy Election Help Desk.
