Moving to electronic balloting would require the BoD to meet - likely multiple times to discuss and vote on it. Something they seem reluctant to do lately! Vote accordingly.

Steve,
Same my side, just arrived in 3B8.
Will post it back duly filed by registered mail tomorrow but not sure that it will reach in time, as post services from 3B8 to/from international not yet back to normal due to COVID.
I really do not understand why AMSAT not doing electronic ballots, are we still in the old days when paper signature with blood required. Most of my transactions such banking, tax, insurance, payment of services are made online. To summarize as a member of AMSAt I may fail to vote in time due to legacy and probably COVID issues, just a shame when very simple solutions are available.
I suggest to all candidates for election to look into the matter and promise a online voting for next election (simple stuff), as if I am not able to cast my vote in time due to old fashion ways of doing things I will just not renew my membership to AMSAT-NA as having no way to exercise my rights as a member.

Woo-hoo! My BoD ballot arrived today.
Why so late? Perhaps I live in some far-flung district such as
Luxembourg or Tasmania.
No, it's worse than that. Indiana.
If I return it today perhaps it will arrive back in the hands of the
Secretary before the deadline.
Who says the USPS is having problems?
