ASNT members can vote electronically through a secure Web site. All eligible members can vote at their convenience virtually anytime and from anywhere during the six-week balloting period, 1 July through 15 August.

As voters experienced last year, the simple process saves members postage and provides assurance that ballots are received prior to the deadline. Unlike paper ballots that may have to go through a variety of postal systems, electronic voters know within minutes that their ballot has been received. Electronic voters receive a confirmation e-mail stating that their ballot has been cast successfully. With ASNT members working and living in over 90 countries, they have the opportunity to choose their preferred method of voting, either online or by the traditional mail ballots.

All members for whom ASNT has an e-mail address are sent balloting notification e-mails which include voting instructions, voter login identification and a link to the election Web site. Unlike the mailed printed ballots, which can take several days to a few weeks to be delivered, members with e-mail receive the notifications almost immediately regardless of where they live.

Online voting is optional, which means that any member who is more comfortable with printed ballots may continue to use that format for voting. ASNT mailed ballots to all voting members for whom there is no e-mail address on record or if the e-mail on record bounced back because it is no longer valid. Any member who prefers a printed ballot should call 800-218-4026 inside the U.S. and 972-713-2834 outside the U.S. Monday through Friday, 9:30am until 6:00pm Eastern Time to request one. Keep in mind that all ballots must received by the 15 August deadline to be counted.

Online electronic voting is available to better serve the membership by providing an enhanced way for members to participate in Society elections. Members are encouraged to use the secure online voting process, which has been designed to be convenient, user-friendly and time-saving.
