Everyone please take a deep breath. Nothing has changed with the ballots EXCEPT they are being mailed out sooner so the slow mail in Canada will perhaps deliver all the ballots to the Canadian members. The Deadline to have information, petitions, bios etc in was the 18th of Aug. (NO CHANGE) The deadline for the ballots to be received by the Election service is October 11th. (NO CHANGE) I would like to think any member caring enough to vote would not lose their ballot or let the cat eat it. (Happened one year).
