Voting for 2008 BOD Now Open – Please Vote

[zuma]

Voting in the the 2008 WGA Board of Directors election has begun! Click here to go to the election page and cast your votes for your favorite candidates: http://wi-geocaching.com/modules.php?name=Elections

Some general notes about this phase of the Board of Directors election process:

* Since there are 4 open Board positions, members may vote for up to 4 of the candidates.
* If you try to vote for more than 4 candidates, all your votes will be thrown out and you’ll be given a chance to vote again.
* Once you vote, you cannot vote again. Therefore, if you vote for fewer than 4 candidates, you can’t come back and vote for more. Also, you can’t change your votes (so get them right the first time!).
* Voting will end at exactly 11:59:59pm on February 10, 2008.
* The 4 candidates with the highest vote totals at the end of voting will fill the open Board positions. In the event of a tie, a run off election will be held immediately after the conclusion of voting.

If you have any general questions about this phase of the election process, feel free to post them in the Candidates Corner 2008 forum. If you experience technical problems with the voting system or trouble with your WGA member account, you can contact Jennifer (Team LightningBugs Mum) or Brian (GrouseTales).

Also, just a friendly reminder that we take the Board elections seriously and will be watching for fraudulent votes. Here is a quick list of the things that we do to prevent election/voting fraud…

* Only WGA members (not WGA friends) can vote in the election, and they can only vote once (enforced by the voting system).
* Only 2 people can view and modify the votes cast. This year it is Jennifer (Team LightningBugs Mum) and Brian (GrouseTales). They are “impartial observers.”
* While we still allow people to sign up as WGA members during the election, any votes cast by these new members are carefully scrutinized. In the past, we’ve actually contacted several new members by email to verify their votes.
* Before the final results are released, all the votes will be audited.

Even though I am one of the “impartial observers”, I still get to vote and I must say that I had a really, really hard time narrowing it down to 4 people. I commend everyone who is running as they are all worthy candidates! No matter who wins, I’m sure we will have a great BOD for 2008. Good luck everyone!

I also just voted, and it was a tough vote, since there are far more than 4 people that I would have liked to have voted for. We are very, very lucky to have a slate of such strong candidates this year.

Just a reminder that there are only 3 DAYS LEFT! If you haven’t voted yet, please do so ASAP!

Patience……………….

The difference between getting a board position or not is only one vote this year, so we have to take a bit of extra time to double check that all the votes are legitimate before certification can occur.

An announcement will be coming soon.

Don’t worry. I didn’t vote for myself either, but did cast a vote your way.
