The electronic ballot from TCA arrived and I have completed and submitted! Very painless and easy to do!! Maybe I'll get an award for being first to return!!

Voted!
Hmm, how am I supposed to get that? Do I need to have certain notification settings enabled in my online profile?

George, I received an e-mail notification about a week or two ago on how to vote electronically. I know I had to go to the TCA site and"check" a box some where under my profile. I just looked at the TCA site and can't find the spot again. I deleted the first e-mail so I can't reference that. Sorry,
I agree, it was quick and easy to vote. Literally, it took only a few seconds. So easy.
George S, yes, you have to opt-in for electronic/online voting. Everyone's default setting is a paper ballot. Right now, since the election is in progress, everyone's settings are locked. Once the current election is over, on or about April 1 your personal settings will be unlocked and you can change your voting preference.
I can't believe how easy it was to vote ... and you save yourself the cost of a stamp. Fast, easy, and free.

Hello, go to TCA website at bottom is TCA Members click on that. on that page is New and special interest there is link to opt in for on line voting. Not sure if you will be able to do for this election but give it a try! Tom W
I opted in for on-line voting several weeks ago. This was an email that offered the online or mail selection. Decided to vote today. Went to the page as recommended above, but the place to select is not operable on my desktop. I hunted all over the place trying find a voting place to start the vote process, without success. Guess I won't be voting this year.

Bill,
The above instructions are only to change your preference to vote online or vote by paper. Currently, the option to change your preference is locked out since the election/voting is in progress. After the current election period ends, the preference settings will be unlocked to allow you to change your preference.
Since you say you opted in for online voting several weeks ago, maybe something didn't take when you adjusted your preference settings. If the system accepted your online preference, you should have received an email that said "click here to vote". There's no website you can go to to cast your vote. The only way to vote is to click the link in the email that was sent to you.
I know my "vote here" email went to my junk folder in my email account. Once I added that email address to my "contacts" or "safe senders", the email went to my inbox.
Maybe check your spam/junk folder to see if the voting link ended up there.

Absolutely the BEST way to vote!
WOW! TCA hit a home run with this.
