Vote security
Each CIHRA member will be assigned a unique voter ID to assure anonymity and one person/one vote. Your voter ID will be needed to make a nomination and exercise your vote. Brent Erickson, as CIHRA Election Administrator, is the sole owner of this list, no one else will have access to it to identify an individual voter. IDs will be emailed to you in the next few days from cihraelections@gmail.com, outside of the CIHRA mail system. You may need to unblock this address from your email client.
