Because PVRC is not currently holding in-person chapter meetings, the voting will be conducted using a secure on-line voting service.

To make that work, the following will apply:

• Nominations may be made to a chapter chair at on-line or on-the air chapter meetings during the nomination period.
• Additionally, any member may make nominations directly to any chapter chair or officer.

The bylaws state that "An active member is a member who participates in club activities and has paid current dues," and "Inactive members may neither vote nor hold office." Accordingly, ballots will be distributed only to members who have evidenced "participation in club activities" by meeting any of the following criteria:

• Earned a 5M award at the 5M or greater point level at any time
• Attended a PVRC meeting in the prior or current calendar year
• Submitted a score in a 5M contest in the prior or current calendar year
• Submitted a score in the PVRC reunion in the prior or current calendar year

To be as inclusive as possible, the active member list will be given to the chapter chairs for review. They may request active member status for any chapter member not included in the list by providing a brief rationale for doing so to the officers for their approval. A member not qualifying under these criteria may file an appeal for active member status based on their other support of PVRC. The appeal may be submitted on behalf of the appellant by any other PVRC member. The appeal shall be reviewed and adjudicated by the officers promptly. Ballots will be e-mailed to each member on the active member list. It is the responsibility of each member to ensure that their email address is correct in the PVRC member roster.

Please check your email address in the roster lookup (http://www.pvrc.org/5M/Roster_Lookup.php) and update your email address if necessary. Updates may be entered on-line by clicking your call in your roster listing.New; Ballots will be tabulated by the voting service and the results will be provided to the membership of PVRC.
