Re: [802SEC] IEEE Annual Election Ballot Mailing--problems with mailed ballots, FYI
Why not just tell folks to vote on-line ??? It's quick, easy, and not
subject to mail delays and screw-ups. :-)
Try it ... you'll like it !!! :-)

Subject: [802SEC] IEEE Annual Election Ballot Mailing--problems with
mailed ballots, FYI
Dear EC members,
FYI, in case you are asked why ballot packages haven't been received
yet, I
receive the below message from the IEEE Election staff regarding the
Annual
Election ballot mailings. Evidently the ballots mailed to Canada will
be
delayed as well as many with address issues.
Regards,
--Paul
