Maureen: did people in your board have the option of going to the board to vote? I hope those that are uncomfortable with email will get help from brokers, managers, office administration, other agents in their office to cast their vote.
I hope our voting will not be WAYYYY down. I hope we are more of a tech savy board than yours.
Teresa: Negative campaigning in the political voting not in the board voting I hope!!! Strangely we used to seem to have some campaigning, fliers, in our board of directors election but I have not seen any this year. More low key? It was always very much about the candidate, not about their opposition!
I am so tired of the ads too.... last night we had an unbelievable amount of advertising... some of the smaller races that have not been advertising did ads... that ran last night among all the attack campaign ads that have been running for weeks. New ads, mostly judges did real short spots together so it would seem like it was three ads but at the end they would show the three judges... none of those were negative, just interspersed with the negative ads. We have important issues on our ballot this year including constitutional amendments...
Our board just had their elections last month and we barely had a quorem. Maybe if we instituted voting by computer we would get a larger turn out.
As for the general election I would have to say why would anyone want to subject themselves to all the scrutiny and negative ads they have to face.
Thanks Jay
Jay: You are in Ann Cummings board? Are you President elect?
I don't know why anyone would subject themselves to what the politicians do either.
Maureen,
What a great benefit to offer members of your Board! Personally, I think that would get MORE people to vote, not less, although I know there are some who would either be intimated by it or just like to do things the old-fashioned way. But I really do think that would increase the number of people voting, or it should in my mind anyway.
Jay and I are in 2 different Boards next door to each other. He and I were State Presidents back to back. We've known each other for years at this point.
Ann
Ann: Thanks. I saw something Jay wrote in the comments in your blog and it confused me.. kinda sorta. Makes sense now.
I hope more members vote in our local board election since it is online.
Leanne: It would be interesting to know.
Ann,
Jay must have written something like 'Your President Elect" and I took that to mean he was president in 2007. And I am thinking on a local level and you guys are talking on a state level... I am impressed. Jay used the word quorem today and I still have not got to an online dictionary to see what it means so I can "talk" intelligently... Active Rain is a great place to learn.
Quorum is the number of voters required to make the election legal as stated in the corporate body's constitution or by-laws. For example, it might be 51% of the membership has to cast a ballot in order for the election to be considered legal.
From Ask.com: "The minimal number of officers and members of a committee or organization, usually a majority, who must be present for valid transaction of business."
I voted! In both the general election and online for CBR directors!
Internet Crusade / CBR told me:
"Your ballot has been received and counted. Thank you!
Results will be posted Monday, November 20, 2006 at www.ColumbusRealtors.com"
The machine this morning at the polling place said "thank you" too. The poll worker wanted to be sure it had said "thank you" to me... funny it reminded me of something else.
I have heard quorum before... (and will fix the spelling above) but I don't know that I could have used it in a sentence.. other than "How do you spell quorum? Is it quorem or quorum? " which is two sentences isn't it?
