Update on the Fans of the WCHA group in Facebook

why can't/isn't there be a way to vote on the web site?

There certainly could be. The challenge is finding a good way to verify that every member only votes once. A postcard in the magazine is a simple solution to that problem.

Three director positions are up for election. Details are in the latest issue of Wooden Canoe.

I nearly missed the card that was included in the most recent Wooden Canoe. It came flying out when I removed the issue from it's wrapper. Then (after I voted) the card rode around under the visor in my truck where I had put it for safe keeping and to mail it. Lucky for me it came down as a reminder for me to post it.
Stamps....yeah. My wife has stamps and the checkbook. This household functions in spite of me.

Electronic voting has been discussed at length; it is desired as an effective means of rapid communication and it simplifies the process for many people. However, we do not yet have a mechanism in place to ensure integrity of an electronic election - there is no way in place to ensure one vote per membership. In addition, there is a significant portion of our membership that cannot or will not vote using electronic means, yet everyone must have the opportunity to vote. But rest assured that the concept of e-voting is very much appreciated. I am confident that if an effective election process that includes e-voting can be generated, it will be used.
