Those were the instructions told to us by the Election Services! Today when Bill went to the PO he was told something different. New regulations in effect since August 2nd.

So this is what we did. Now Bill says the election agency needs that ! Just great..............Now we are going to have our votes be invalid.............thats nice real nice !!!! How can you get accurate results of what the membership wants when Canadians aren't getting ballots to vote in time, envelopes are being sent back because they were labeled improperly, people are crossing off names and addresses at the request of the corresponding secretary and we are now finding out from the treasurer this will invalidate the ballots.........because the Election company needs that info................. I sure hope someone sees to it that our votes count now since the emails went out to cross off your name on the back............... Even the person running for President sent out these instructions to cross off your names on the back...................
