We're now 12 hours away from the end of the voting period — polls close at noon UTC 18 Nov (check the time in your area)! So far, an amazing 60% of eligible voters (505 out of 845) have submitted their ballots.

Thank you to all who have voted so far! We've heard a couple calls for something along the lines of "I Voted" stickers, so we've whipped one up and made it available below for your use. Anyone else who would like to make graphics is welcome to share them as well!

Voting is now open in the 2011 OTW Board elections!

Voting will remain active for a full 48 hours, so you have until 12:00 UTC 18 November to cast your ballot. (What time is that where I am?)

We're getting down to the wire — polls open noon UTC 16 November (check the time in your area) and close 48 hours later, at noon UTC 18 November (check the time in your area) — just enough time for one last peek behind the scenes!

Although polls have yet to open for our 2011 election, we're already thinking ahead to 2012. As some of you may have noted, the circumstances of the current election present a complication for next term. There are a total of seven seats on the Board, and Board members are customarily elected to three-year terms. We have four open seats in this election; two are from terms that ran out this year, and two are from Board members retiring before their terms are up (both would have had one more year).

As we approach the voting period — polls open noon UTC 16 November (check the time in your area) and close 48 hours later, at noon UTC 18 November (check the time in your area) — we bring you one more resource: everything you ever wanted to know about the voting process!
