Some people on this list may have withdrawn, or be withdrawing. Updates will be made after the withdrawal deadine. Candidates in uncontested seats (no primary contest) are not listed, unless they send in a response.
If you are aware of additional candidates who’d like to participate whose responses are not up here, or candidates who are not listed, please contact JFSABL “at” gmail “dot” com . I also hope to have time to add links to candidate web pages by 3/26/11, and also to endorsement materials from other organizations.
Ballot and voting instructions
Here is the endorsement ballot, including voting instructions. Two formats, same content. Voting Instructions and ballot DFP 2011.pdf and Voting Instructions and ballot DFP 2011.doc
There are three ways to vote.
a) classic secret ballot. Print out a ballot. Vote. Do not include any identifying marks on the ballot. Seal the ballot in an unmarked envelope. Next, put that unmarked envelope in another, larger envelope. Send it to DFP c/o Sabl, 7008 Willard st. Pittsburgh PA 15208. Make sure to include your SIGNATURE overlapping the flap of this outer envelope. Make sure it is postmarked by Monday April 11, 2011.
b) for those who say “I don’t care who knows how I voted, make this painless”: you can e-mail your choices to me at jfsabl@gmail.com, right in the text of the e-mail. Your e-mail will be printed out, showing your name and e-mail address, for verification of identity. Then the voting portion will be ripped lose and added to the tally.
c) show up at the mini-meetup which both precedes and follows MoveOn meetup, usual location, noting the unusual date: April 14, not April 21. The ballots will be tallied there, and that is the absolute last moment to vote.
