The 2016 ASA election opens March 15 at 12:01 a.m. EST and closes May 1 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
To prepare, visit the ASA website and check the following:
- Membership expiration. If your membership expires at the time we are launching the election, you will not receive a ballot.
- Section membership. To vote for section officers, you must be a member of that section.
- Email address. All ballots are delivered via email. If the email you have on file at the ASA is incorrect, you will not receive your ballot. This year, you can vote on your computer, smartphone, or other electronic device.
- Whitelist. Add support@votenet.com to your email safe list. This action will ensure the proper delivery of key election information. Get instructions to ensure delivery.
It would be helpful if voters had access to list of candidates before they sign in to the ballot for voting. Then voter would not have to be concerned about having enough time to do everything (i.e. to study the ballot, make choices, and mark the ballot) in one visit to the site, assuming that the ballot can only be accessed at most once.
An alternate would be to clearly inform voter that the ballot can be access multiple times (I did not see such notice this year, if such notice was given).
