The delays are related to damage at a US Postal Service sorting facility in Houston caused by storms in late September. ARRL HQ released this statement addressing the delays and process to get a replacement ballot... From: Henderson, Dan N1ND <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Oct 16, 2019 at 10:59 AM Subject: RE: West Gulf Division Ballot Wednesday October 16, 2019 ARRL has become aware of a mail delivery problem affecting the ARRL Board of Director election ballots sent to members in part of the West Gulf Division. Recent flooding has affected some US Postal Service distribution centers in the Houston region of the state, damaging some sorting machines. This is delaying delivery to many members in that area. They are processing mail out, but there are delays in processing out bulk mail, which include the ballots. We are aware that ballots are being processed as part of their work flow, but they cannot give us a definitive date of when they will all be out for delivery. All ballots were mailed from Hartford on Monday September 30 as required by the Articles of Association/By-Laws. Ballots to most of the West Gulf Division were delivered in the usual time frame, which is generally 10 to 14 days. We have received numerous requests for replacement ballots. We also have member notifications sent after making the replacement ballot request to inform us the ballot had arrived. We ask ARRL members to be patient. If you still do not receive your ballot by Monday October 21, 2019, please send a request for a new ballot to [email protected]. The ARRL HQ will process out replacement requests on Tuesday October 22, 2019 via first class mail and daily as later requests come in. That will allow 3+ weeks (24 days) for the replacement to be delivered to you and allowing for their return to ARRL’s accounting firm of CohnReznick LLP by the noon on Friday November 15, 2019 deadline. There is no deadline for requesting a replacement ballot. Also, there is no deadline for you to have received your ballot in order to be eligible to vote. Please note that all replacement requests need to be in writing (email is fine) but must directly come from the ARRL member. Third-party requests cannot be processed. If you have already requested a replacement ballot but still haven’t received the original ballot by October 21st, you will need re-confirm your need for a replacement by email to [email protected]. If your original ballot is received before that time, we also ask you confirm that to [email protected] so that your request can be closed. We thank you for your patience in this unusual situation. If you have any questions, please contact ARRL Assistant Secretary Dan Henderson, N1ND, at [email protected] or by phone at 860-594-0236.
