*****PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL PROJECT LISTS*****
The deadline for registration for voting in this year's election is
rapidly approaching. The Election Committee has been working to
clear
any data glitches, verified email addresses, and have attempted to
confirm positions with the appropriate XXGenWeb and Special Projects
over the last couple of months.
It would be prudent for all members to check their registration for
accuracy, and for those new members who have not registered to vote
in
the annual election to do so promptly to secure your right to vote.
There are important issues to be decided, and every vote is needed so
that the views of the membership are known.
This evening I was able to check my own registration and found the
process very easy. With the help of the EC Chair, these are the
instructions to register and update your membership:
Register to vote and/or Update your membership:
http://www.usgwelections.org/USGenWeb/Register.cfm
1. Go to the above site.
2. Follow the instructions on the first page. These will tell you
how to receive a password if you have not already requested yours.
Note that this is *not* a voting password. This password is for the
registration records only. Your password will be emailed to you. 3.
Once you have entered your password and ID number, click on continue.
4. The last box on that page, is "Vote in Elections?" Click that
box
if you wish to register to vote. 5. Next, click on "Update Record".
This will take you to the page where you can view/edit your records.
6. Here you will see the states and projects listed that the
Election
Committee has verified in which you are a volunteer/member. 7. To
edit the information (i.e. add a county name), on the line that has
that project, click on "edit".
a. Once you have edited information, you must click on the
"Click
this
link" to save your information.
8. To add a new project, use the boxes below and follow the
instructions listed on the page. 9. There is a link that says "no
changes needed" that you can click on if your information is correct.
10. The last page enables you to change your password or you can
click
on "Finished".
The deadline for registering to vote in the upcoming elections is
midnight, May 31st.
It's a simple process, takes less than five minutes, and it's your
responsibility as members to insure your right to vote is protected.
