Vote Online in 2008 Election

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.43.2.0002a

If you haven't cast your ballot yet in APA's 2008 election, be sure to do so by the deadline—February 5. The easiest way to vote is online.

If you have an e-mail address on file with APA, you should have received an e-mail with online voting information on December 22. Paper ballots were mailed that same day. Even if you don't have an e-mail address on file with APA, you can still vote online; see instructions on the paper ballot.

The Elections Committee strongly urges you to consider the candidates and vote online, but whichever mode you choose, the most important thing to do is to vote.

Here are six reasons why the Elections Committee supports online voting:

•. 

6. It decreases paper usage.

•. 

5. It is cost-effective for your Association.

•. 

4. It is a highly reliable system for casting votes.

•. 

3. It is the timeliest method for voting.

•. 

2. It is completely private.

•. 

1. You won't need to hunt around your desk looking for your mailed ballot!

Information on the candidates and a link for voting online can be accessed on APA's homepage at<www.psych.org> in the “Spotlight” section. More information is available by contacting Chanda Brooks at (703) 907-8527 or .
