Voting
Eligible voting members are sent notification about official balloting processes by mail or e-mail. Election notifications sent by mail include a mail ballot and give members the choice to cast their vote by mail or online ballot. Election notifications sent by e-mail require that members cast their vote via online ballot. Casting ballots online is faster and easier than the traditional mail-in method.

Members can specify how they want to receive notification of upcoming official balloting processes in the Manage Your Mailings section of the members login area.
