Voting underway in ISBA election

ISBA members will be receiving ballots for the 2011 ISBA Election. VR Election Services (VRES), ISBA's election provider, has begun emailing e-ballots to members with valid email addresses and mailing paper ballots to members without email addresses. If you haven't received your e-ballot, please check your email spam under the suffix vres.us. If you do not receive your emailed or paper ballot by April 4th you may contact VRES at (800) 218-4026. Members receiving an e-ballot will have the option to request a paper ballot from VRES. Likewise, any member receiving a paper ballot will have the option to vote online. Instructions for requesting a paper ballot will be included in the e-ballot email, and instructions for voting online will be printed on the paper ballot. Online voting ends at 4:30 p.m. CT on Friday, April 29th. Paper ballots must be received at VR Election Services in Texas by 4:30 p.m. CT on Friday, April 29, 2011 in order to be counted. The Tellers of the Election will complete the Canvass of the Election no later than May 4, 2011. All members with their dues paid by March 1st are eligible to vote if there is a contested election in their area. The two contested elections are Cook County Board of Governors, and Downstate under 37 Board of Governors. Because there is no 3rd Vice President contest, out-of-state members do not vote.
