Online Voting for 2008/2009 Council Election and Bylaw Vote
On April 30, 2008 the Engineers and Geoscientists Act was amended to allow electronic voting. This year, APEGBC will carry out the 2008/2009 Council election and bylaw vote by electronic ballot. This medium of delivery is more environmentally friendly and provides the benefits of cost savings and ease of distribution. Votes will be handled by a third-party-ensured system and will have an interface that prevents duplicate votes and mismarked ballots.
Members will be sent an e-mail in late August with instructions on the electronic voting procedure. Those who have not provided APEGBC with a valid e-mail address will not receive direct notification, but will be able to access electronic voting through the “What’s New” section of Association’s website.
To ensure that you have a current e-mail address on file, please visit: www.apeg.bc.ca/reg/changestatus.html and click on Change your address with APEGBC. Paper ballots will be available by written request. Should you wish to receive a paper ballot, please mail your request to apeginfo@apeg.bc.ca or APEGBC, #200 – 4010 Regent St., Burnaby, BC, V5C 6N2.
