Here for your information (and not for further distribution) are the candidates' statements in this year's round of division elections (Hudson and Northwestern). They were provided to the candidates in the respective divisions last Friday. These are also posted in the ODV-only section of the website at http://www.arrl.org/candidate-statements. While in these PDFs the URLs for the campaign websites of K7CEX and KL7WM are not "hot," they are on the actual Survey and Ballot Systems (SBS) election website. SBS is handling both the paper and the electronic voting from their offices in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Paper ballots were mailed today to 4,828 members for whom we do not have current email addresses. Emails will be going to 11,998 members in the two divisions beginning today at 5:00 PM EDT advising them how to cast their votes electronically. The election website will be opened at that time. 73, Dave K1ZZ
