How well did voting work last year at ACB? What changes, if any, can we look forward to this year? How did people vote who were at the convention? Did

many need assistance? How did affiliate voting work? Are there going to be any changes in how affiliates vote this year? What do we know about who voted?
Everybody voted digitally. We know that but what proportion of the vote was done by folks who were at the convention and what proportion of the vote came
from those who were not there? Can we even tell? Are there ways we can encourage more voters? Will we have a candidates' forum this year? How about candidates'
pages? Will there be any changes there?
All of these questions will help us have a sense of where we are at a process which is still pretty new for ACB! Voting privately and independently is
an important new characteristic of ACB elections. How has the new voting system affected elections? When elections only included people who attended conventions,
there were expectations about how things would go. What are the expectations that the new election system creates?
Members of the voting task force will be our guests next week. We don't know just who will join us from that group but believe that two or three of the
members of that committee will be with us. We are looking forward to hearing from them and to an open discussion of what the new normal look like. You,
our listeners, will have a chance to ask questions and to share your impressions of how things went last year and what we can expect this year.
