ALA plans online election for 2007

The American Library Association (ALA) has announced plans to hold their 2007 election online for the fourth year in a row.

Paid members of the Association are invited to cast their votes online starting March 15, 2007 - or by traditional paper ballots which can be requested by phone or email. Online ballots have been created in such a way that allows visually impaired members to easily access and utilize the voting tool.

Members will receive their e-ballots via the email they registered their membership with between March 15 and March 17, 2006. Members without a valid email address or those requesting paper ballots will be accomodated via postal mail beginning in late January 2007.
