In accordance with a policy established by the Board of Directors, the Society does not publish the numerical tabulation of the election on the web site. The information is available, however, and any member may request the tabulation by making a written request to the Executive Director at the Society's office.
2,820 ballots were issued to members by Vote-Now. 1,157 complete or semi-complete ballots were returned by the voting deadlines for electronic and paper ballots. In addition, there were 4 abstentions. Not all voters made choices in all elections. Only 11 members submitted ballots by regular mail, an increase from only 8 in 2015, but still less than 13 in 2014 and 19 in 2013. When we first conducted elections online (2009), that number was around 100.
The total number of ballots cast (1,157) is very slightly lower than last year’s figure (1,163). The number of votes in 2013 (1,305) remains the highest number since 1999. It seems most likely that the referendum about the change in the Society’s name increased participation in 2013. In 2008 and 2007, the last two years of voting only by mail, the figures were 403 and 444, respectively.
