The annual MACA elections are scheduled for May 2021. Registered voters will receive either a paper ballot or an e-ballot link at the end of April, with results being announced at the annual meeting, probably on Memorial Day weekend. Registration is required either way.
IF YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE IN PRIOR YEARS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER AGAIN unless your address has changed--just make sure that your membership is current through February. New members who joined MACA after March 2020 WILL NEED to register to vote in this year's election.
Members can register for an online or paper ballot (not both) as follows:
TO REGISTER FOR AN ONLINE BALLOT: email election@masschess.org with full name and unique email address by February 28, 2021.
TO REGISTER FOR A PAPER BALLOT: send a letter to Bob Messenger at 4 Hamlett Dr. #12, Nashua, NH 03062, postmarked no later than February 22. You can send an email to election@masschess.org to check on your registration status.
To vote, MACA membership must be valid as of February 28, 2021. For more information, please visit http://www.masschess.org/resources/faqs/chess_faqs.aspx?faq_type_uid=5
