How do I vote in an election?
Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS), an independent firm, conducts WH's director election. A few weeks prior to the election, SBS will mail a paper ballot to all members in the districts with directors up for election.
Members can fill out the ballot and return it via mail, vote online, or vote in person at WH's Annual Meeting. The mailed paper ballot includes instructions for voting online. Members may only vote once. Voting closes the day of the Annual Meeting.
Election results are announced at the conclusion of the business meeting portion of the Annual Meeting.
Members may vote once per household. If a member votes online and mails a ballot, only the first submission will count.
