In order to vote for members of the Board of the Organization for Transformative Works, you must be a fully-paid member of the OTW by a month prior to the election.

This year, that means that you must have made a donation using a personal check or a credit card belonging to you on or before 17 October 2011. For membership purposes, we need to be able to connect your payment with a bank account or credit card so we can verify that you’re a real person and an individual when we hold elections.

Once you have assured your eligibility as a voter, please read the voting instructions.

The following actions will be grounds for voter disqualification for the election year in which the action takes place:

• Offering any incentive for a vote (whether monetary or another sort of consideration, including fannish creative works).
• Outing another candidate’s pseudonym, or linking the legal and fannish names of any OTW member who has not chosen to make that connection public.
