Questions
Initial Thoughts
Public Results: Near real-time visibility to vote counts but not names
Paper Ballots: Use a computer for data entry then cross check and process votes
Administration: Must be a BOD with no vested interest in the election
Needs further discussion, we have 5 months till next election
MATC Students
Allow students to become members where MATC pays for membership
MATC will then allow MMS members access to use MATC facilities, equipment, and instructors
