Here is a comprehensive description, mostly from Fred Kraus, longtime
staff aide to the Alumni Board’s Nominating Committee, of the procedure
for the last election and the subsequent filling of a vacant seat on
the board.
The process of voting for many years has been to
send each alum a self-standing hard-copy ballot via snail mail. In the
past five years we have also incorporated online voting as an option.
Some have proposed that we eventually move to all-electronic voting,
but that would eliminate a sizable portion of the alumni and thus is
not under active consideration.
