Hello Mark,
I sent in my self-stamped Envelope with the Absentee Ballot about 3 weeks
ago but have not yet received the absentee ballot yet. Any word on when
it
will be mailed? It's getting close to the deadline.

Mark,
Still have not received the Absentee Ballot, Several members have also not
received theirs either.
Some are worried that they will be disenfranchised.
Any word on when they will arrive?? Should we all resubmit the Absentee
Ballot Request this time as certified mail to make sure you are actually
receiving them??

ALL,
Absentee ballots will be sent out this week. Since we extended the
availability to request a absentee ballot until tomorrow it only made
sense
to wait and send all of the ballots out at the same time.

Importance: High
Has the Election Committee also extended the Deadline for the Return of the
Absentee Ballots?
Currently your rules state they must be returned to the Election Committe
with a deadline of December 4, 2004 in order to be counted. It takes on
average of 5 days in either direction for US Postal service mail. That's a
Minimum of 11 days for the ballots to be returned to the Election committee.
That's if the member fills out the ballot and returns it the next day after
receiving it. That places them outside the deadline stated in the
Committee Posting of rules and if the Absentee ballots were sent out today,
they cannot be returned no earlier then December 11th 2004, 7 days after the
deadline and will arrive after the election has been held on December 10.

YES, but they must be received by the Elections Committee no later then 8
December. Originally we had 4 December so we could insure we had all ballots
back but since the newsletter was delayed we moved it to the best we could
do. If you think your ballot will not get back in time you may fax it to me
direct @ (406) 248-2042 attn: Mark Landrie. Since this is a military fax
number nobody there is going to care what your vote is or isn't. We have to
put a time limit on everything and some times it doesn't meet with
everyone's expectations but we are trying to do the best thing.
