Every member of The American Iris Society may participate in this
balloting of the irises listed on the following pages. Each member is
allowed twenty-five votes. Please follow the instructions below.
1. Because the ballot is now bound in the Bulletin, voting may be
accomplished in a variety of ways:
a. You may mail your RVP a list of the iris you are voting for, either
names and numbers, or just numbers.
b. You can photocopy the list in the Bulletin, mark it up, and mail it.
c. You can download the list from the AIS web site (www.irises.org),
print it, mark it up, and mail it. (see link below)
d. Most RVP’s have email, and those who do will accept any of the above
formats that way, too.
3. No member may vote for more than twenty-five varieties. You may vote
for fewer than twenty-five if you wish. Write-in votes are not allowed
and will not be tabulated.
4. Your ballot must be mailed to and received by your Regional Vice
President by September 1, 2009 in order to be counted. The name of
your RVP is listed inside each AIS Bulletin. Sign your ballot and mail
it first class.
5. Overseas Members may vote by mailing their ballot to the Symposium
Committee Chairman whose name, email, and address appear inside each AIS
Bulletin. It is advisable to send by Air Mail to assure receipt of your
Ballot by September 30, 2009. Ballots received later will be counted if
at all possible, so please vote even if you can not meet that date.
Email is an acceptable alternative (either numbers-only, or numbers and
names), and a representative in each foreign country can tally that
country's votes and send the totals and voters to the Symposium Chair by
email or mail.
