If you are interested in throwing your hat in for any of these positions, nominations are open on-line until end of day Friday, January 30th<\/a>. Before you do, become a member<\/a>, join our activists email list<\/a>, and read our Articles of Agreement<\/a> and Code of Conduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ballots will be sent out by February 13th and are due back by February 27th. We will use the same voting mechanism we used in our previous election. Voters will be emailed a randomly generated id that only the voter will know. Once the election is done, we will delete the ids. In this way, we can ensure that only supporters can vote, while also maintaining the secrecy of votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to multiple candidates for all positions<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
