Zach,

I will be checking returned ballots against the voter list as they are returned as an aid to determine who might be eligible for a replacement ballot come August 12. The voter list is static while the membership portal is dynamic, so I'm dealing with the accounting separately.

With the caveat that my ability to accommodate requests to verify receipt will be inversely proportional to the number of requests I receive, members may feel free to ask.

Without committing future leadership to a course of action, your suggestion is among several ideals that are worthwhile.

Out of necessity to determine a fixed voter list and in accordance with previous announcements, the voter list was invariantly determined on the basis of memberships in good standing on July 1. Membership in good standing on that date is the criterion I will use in determining whether to issue replacement or original ballots.

Hello Brennan-

Is there a mechanism whereby a voter could check that their ballot was received by AMSAT? This would not include the choices on the ballot, just that it was received.

I imagine this could be part of the launch.amsat.org interface, but I don't really know.

If not for this year, could this be implemented for the next voting season?

Thanks,
