The purpose is to allow more members to participate in the voting process by allowing electronic voting in addition to the current process of mailing votes to the PO Box by mail.
A section on absentee voting will be integrated in the By-Laws as follows:
Absentee voting – A member may vote by absentee vote via sending a printed ballot to the STYP PO Box or via an electronic system approved by the nomination committee within 7 days of the election. As a minimum, the electronic system must verify that a person voting is an active member and only votes once.
