Well, it's been that way for years.  Every time you voted using the previous Web-based software that Derrick administered, you were in a database.  The only difference is that the coordinators had to manually construct that database every year (with lots of errors such as including people twice under different addresses).  From now on, the database will take care of itself.  If anyone who wants to vote doesn't want to spend one minute registering to the membership database, then they can send their vote to the coordinators by email - but why they would, I can't fathom.

It is a procedural change only, and one which as past coordinators will also tell you, needed to happen.

For reasons given above, please take it up with the Appeals Team, McTim.
