Due to issues beyond the control of the Elections Committee, Online Ballot Invitations have been sent 36 hours behind schedule. If you joined (or renewed your membership) at the 2010 International Conference and have not renewed your membership since, you will not be receiving a ballot invitation. (Lifetime members excepted, of course.) Memberships from October 2010 expire September 30, 2011. If you have not received a sample ballot and believe that you should have, please contact us at 2011kotesolelections@gmail.com and include your name, telephone number, email address that you used when you registered with KOTESOL, and the approximate date you last joined/renewed your membership. Online voting will close at the previously-scheduled time -- 11:59pm October 14th.

The election will take place in two streams.
On-line voting will take place October 7th-14th. On-line voting is open to all members who have memberships extending beyond October 1st. Eligible members will receive an e-mail in early October with voting instructions.
On-site voting will take place on October 15th and 16th at the International Conference.

Members who do not vote online may vote at the conference.

Members who have renewed or joined after September 17th will be eligible to vote on-site.

May we remind you, those who took joined or renewed their one-year memberships at last year's International Conference are not eligible to vote in this election unless they renew membership. (Memberships activated at one year's conference expire on September 30th of the following year.)

We encourage all those who wish to participate in the election process to review the "Code of Campaign Conduct" found in the Elections Form nominations packet (download the MSWord file).
