kevin_standleeIt's much later than I would have liked, but 2024 NASFiC Site Selection voting is now open. If you're going to Pemmi-Con, you can vote in person on the Thursday or Friday of the convention. If you want to vote by postal mail, you need to rather quickly download the ballot, print it, and mail it, because ballots must be received at one of the two addresses by July 11. Voting online is not an online form; you have to download the PDF of the ballot and return a copy of it electronically.
In order to vote, you have to be a member of Pemmi-Con and you must pay the Advance Supporting Membership (voting) fee of CAD 40 (USD 30 if paid at-con or by postal ballot), which you can purchase through the Pemmi-Con registration site, where is is called a Voting Token. You put the Voting Token number on your ballot.
As I write this, the version of the PDF that is on the Pemmi-con website (03) does not have fields on the PDF. A version that does have fields you can type on the form, which is much easier, is pending the next update, and if you're really interested, tell me and I will email you that version. (Unlike Westercon 74, I can't update the site myself. I can just send updates to the web team, who will update it when they can. I am not complaining. Keeping on top of this sort of thing, especially so close to the convention, gets increasingly difficult.)
A bit of behind the scenes is that there are a handful of Pemmi-Con members for whom we have only a postal mailing address (no email). I mailed paper copies of the ballot to them on Tuesday. I expect an email blast to all of the rest of Pemmi-Con's members soon pointing them at the voting page. Other announcements will post on various different parts of Pemmi-Con's social media as the individual managers of that social media type are able to do so.
You can also send your ballot with someone going to NASFiC for them to deliver on your behalf. Those ballots either have to have CAD 40 or USD 30 payment (cheque or money order or cash in this case) or a valid voting token.
Voting ends at 6 PM Central Daylight Time on Friday, July 21, 2023. The results of the election will be announced at the NASFiC WSFS Business Meeting scheduled for 10 AM on Saturday, July 22, 2023.
