In order to receive a voting password in USGenWeb national level elections and polls, beginning this year you must be Registered with the EC (Election Committee.) To receive a voting password in the USGenWeb National Election, you must be registered not later than 31 May, 2004. If you were a member of USGenWeb on 1 February 2004 and your name was submitted to the EC by your State or Project leadership, you were automatically registered. If you are not sure you were automatically registered, you may ask your area EC Representative, or you may submit a Registration form. Members joining USGenWeb or changing participation within the Project after 1 February 2004 will not be automatically registered, and must register themselves. Example: You were a CC in a particular state. You resigned that county, and now have a county in another state. To ensure you will receive a voting password, you must inform the EC that you have changed states. Do not depend on your SC or other project leadership to see that you are registered, or that appropriate changes are made. If you are currently Registered but do not wish to receive a voting password, or if you leave the Project entirely please contact an EC Representative to have your name removed from the Registered List. The EC has an online registration form, and will soon have a "change" form: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/register.html To learn who to contact on the EC, go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/current.html Please bookmark the EC website for the latest Election and Registration news: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/ ***Registration information is confidential to the Election Committee, and will not be shared with Project leadership or other members. It is used only to send voting passwords. Thank you, The USGenWeb Election Committee ------------------------------------------------------via webmail---- Tim Stowell tstowell@chattanooga.net
