Further Notice of ALADS’ Electronic
Voting Transition Plan (Stage 2)
As you are aware, ALADS is in the process of
moving its annual Board of Directors election
online. The transition to electronic voting will
enter stage two this year and, therefore, all
voting will be done online. This means ALADS
will no longer use paper ballots. In order to
successfully make this transition, it is critical that
ALADS we have your current personal email
address on file.
For the 2023 election, ALADS voting members
will receive instructions on how to vote online
both via their personal email and U.S. Mail.
These instructions will walk the voting members
through how to use their secure credentials to
both view the candidate information and to vote
online.
In 2024, and for all future elections, ALADS
voting members will receive instructions on how
to vote online via their personal email only.
Every vote is essential to the election process
and we want to hear from you. Therefore, it is
critical for ALADS to have your personal email
address on file to ensure you receive election
information. Please contact the ALADS office to
confirm we have your current personal email
address on file.
