hi Hildy, Call the RA Office in Canberra. There have been others in your situation who have had papers replaced (i understand).

 

Cheers

but you will need whiteout to fix up Don's number placement errors:rolleyes:

43 votes ans 26 maybes a NATIONAL total for this site CFI, so you may well see just that. It's interesting seeing some of the demands and expectations on other threads here, but no direction given to elect board members (new and old) who's job it is to meet those expectations. Bizarre in some ways.

One of the issues with these elections that I have found is more than half the people I have spoken to did not even know that the ballot paper was under the plastic covering the magazine. Hence the ballot paper and accompanying envelope went out in the garbage. I know this is academic now but the ballot paper should be inserted in the magazine where it will fall into people's laps.

 

However there still is another couple of issues with elections and that is, you then have to actually fill it out, and wait for it......go and mail it, which requires going to a post box. Then the next issue is the people that have plenty to say and complain about but can't be bothered to vote! Maybe the voting would get a greater response if it was done online! I think there are ways that it can be done securely online.

 

Anyway I agree if there is a low percentage of voters it does not really show that people care. It is your organization so people should vote. People like myself bother to give of our time for free to try and contribute so people should be bothered to vote. How we get that message out to the membership needs to be explored.

 

One other issue is the many people that just motor along and while everything appears to be okay they are happy until something goes wrong and then the organization is the worst in the world.

 

Just thoughts.

Well Pow, I don't think your strategy worked

 

So far, out of about 5000 who use this site:

 

If we count the "Yes" + "Gunnas" + "Haven't got my magazine yet" we get just 75

 

75 out of 5000????????????????????????????

That just means that 75 members are willing to Post.

The real indication will be the participation rate and results in the election. That should be interesting and will demonstrate the real level of influence due to content on this site.

Oh well...I tried. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Hopefully quite a few noticed the thread title and were reminded to vote, but didn't vote in this poll.
