Mail-in Ballots & Opavote
This year, we will hold an open voting period that begins on June 27th and runs to 5 p.m. on Friday, July 3rd in order to accept ballots by mail. This is the first year we are offering mail-in ballots as an option. The election packets with candidate information and the ballots were mailed the beginning of this week.

On Saturday, all members in good standing will receive an email from Opavote, an online voting platform, with a link to the online ballot. Votes through Opavote will also be accepted until 5 p.m. on July 3rd. You must be a member in good standing in order to vote. Join DSA ([link removed]) or apply for a dues waiver ([link removed]) . If you have just joined the chapter this week, please forward your confirmation email to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) by noon on July 27th.

Local Convention Hub
We have adedicated page on our website ([link removed]) for this year's Convention. It has all the information you need about how to vote, who the candidates are, and what to expect.

Open Call for Bylaw Amendments & Political Resolutions
Finally, we are accepting proposals for bylaw amendments and political resolutions to consider and vote on during the July 25th portion of Convention. Bylaw amendments add, remove, or alter the text of our chapter's bylaws ([link removed]) . Political resolutions are the same type of document we typically vote on during General Meetings. We will provide more information about this process in the coming weeks, but you can read about how to write a resolution here ([link removed]) .

Amendments and resolutions must be submitted to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) by members in good standing by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, July 12th.
