We advise as follows: Do not stop voting- I would suggest placing your envelopes inside a plain envelope addressed to the election company- BUT we are going to contact AKC on Monday and see if we can accomplish a do over on the election. The problem with the return envelopes is the result of a regulation change that went into effect last month. Again keep voting until we hear from AKC. The issue with having a new election is our Bylaws contain time limits for receipt of votes at least one week before the annual meeting. We will try to get guidance from AKC on suspending that rule. If that cannot be accomplished we will try everything to have every vote received counted. We will send a notice to the entire membership tomorrow stating the above-Kris Thank You.
