How to Vote
Survey & Ballot Systems (SBS), an independent election firm, conducts Wright-Hennepin’s Director elections.
A few weeks before the election, SBS mails a paper ballot to all members in districts with a Director up for election. Members may choose one of the following voting options:
Return the paper ballot by mail
Vote online
Vote in person at Wright-Hennepin’s Annual Meeting
Instructions for online voting are included with the mailed ballot. Voting closes on the day of the Annual Meeting.
Important Notes:
Members may vote once per household.
If multiple ballots are submitted, only the first vote received will be counted.
Election results are announced at the conclusion of the business meeting at the Annual Meeting.
