Subject: [STATE-COORD] Nominations and Elections
To: state-coord(a)rootsweb.com
Every year we go through the same thing, forms on the EC site don't
work, takes days to get them to work. It isn't like you do not know
there is a nomination date beginning June 1 or a voting period beginning
July 1. Many, including me wait til later in the month because of all
the glitches.
My question is, do you not prepare and test these forms prior to putting
them out there for the membership? If not I suggest picking say 100
people at ramdon and test the form a MONTH before the election using
john Doe and Mary Q Public as the candidates? it is called Beta testing
and if it were done PRIOR to opening nominations and election forms
would eliminate most the so called "glitches". Even political election
processes use mock elections to test the machines and/or software. Find
something that works and stick with it please!
