OFFICIAL: Ballot Availability and Election Start

[kri]

Azul, everybody!

I have successfully downloaded ws-ftp which was destroyed in the recent computer cataclysm, and I plan to have the official ballots in .pdf file up online by tomorrow night (Thursday). Balloting Day does not "officially" begin until Saturday morning, of course.

I have (as requested) done a summary of all the referendum proposals and attached this to the end of the .pdf file.

Parties and individuals are encouraged to print out the ballots, distribute them, and use them to vote. Voting by phone and e-mail [glow=red,2,300]will be accepted[/glow] but the more paper ballots we get, the cooler.

Amy and I today designed an official "ballot box" which we will bring to the Immigration Day festivities on Sunday. Expect to see half a dozen or so ballots officially "cast" in the red-and-green box, for the first time in a Talossan election since we used a ballot box in 1981! Pictures will be taken and eventually put up online. (The box was originally a cardboard container for Indonesian ramen noodles, if you must know.)

Azul,

My computer still can't read .pdf files, but I think I've generated a .pdf version of the ballot here:

www.execpc.com/~talossa/ballot.pdf

Click on that and let me know if it works. If this doesn't work, I may end up just scanning the pages of the ballot and doing it as a .jpg file.

Cross your fingers....

Worked fine for me.

PS - I'm still on leave, just had some time lately to check on happenings

For whatever reasons, I am still unable to view .pdf files. If someone would be able to send the ballot to me in another format I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

Azul Márcüs,

I sent a copy of the ballot and all related materials in the mail to you yesterday, hopefully it will not be long in coming.
