Yes, while individual ballots will only be viewed post submission by the NEC and volunteers assisting in the vote count, we will keep a list of voter names, IDs, ballot status (accepted/disqualified), and time of submission. Upon request with the NEC, we can help you verify your name and ID and check whether the ballot was accepted. For limited cases, mainly if you are physically present at AGM, we may try to verify in person any disqualified ballots and ask whether that member may have made a mistake. Thus, we encourage you to attend AGM in person or through WebEx!
I want to vote for officers, but early voting only lets me choose people for the Leadership Board. Why is that?
The Executive Committee is chosen from the newly elected Leadership Board. Thus, the election results for the Leadership Board have to be decided before officer elections can open. As such, officer elections will only occur at the AGM, for attendees in person or through WebEx. Please RSVP and join us at the AGM on Sunday April 14 at 1 pm! Note that each officer election is decided in turn, and the candidates are in flux until just prior to that specific election.

All current candidates have provided a statement, and multiple endorsements have also been submitted. A link to all this information with their statements can be found at: 2019 Candidates for DA China Leadership Board
You can also find contact info for each candidate, such as their Wechat ID, email address, or both. We invite you to contact them and ask them your questions! Furthermore, if you can attend the AGM, every candidate will get an opportunity to speak to the attendees on why they should be elected. Please come and listen before voting!

I can’t go to all of the AGM. Should I still RSVP and/or come?
YesYes! The first half will predominantly be the Leadership Board elections (which also has early voting), and the second half will contain the six officer elections, but you do not need to vote in every election if you can’t be there for all of the elections. There will also be updates from the current Leadership Board on DA China you might be interested in. So please come and participate in as much as you can! We also encourage you to RSVP anyway, as we can then pre-verify that you are a DA China member and will be voting in at least some of the elections.
