Greetings All,
Starting December 1st, and going through December 14th, residents of the Province will be able to go on line and vote for the positions of Provincial Seneschal and Provincial Herald. Voting will be open to all paid members, who reside within the Province and its Cantons, and are at least 14 years old. Voting will be done using the “Borda Method”. This is a ranked voting system. People will pick out their first choice of candidate for the position and this will be recorded when their form is submitted. You will then get an email confirming your choices.
The link to vote is here: http://bit.ly/sca-nyc-vote
I will be verifying whether people are eligible to vote. Our Viceregents will have access to the actual votes.
If your membership has expired recently, and you have renewed, please print out a copy of your renewal and send it to me when you vote.
In addition, there are five other provincial officer positions that will only be voted on by the officers through email, as there is only one candidate for each of them. These are: Minister of Lists, Minister of A&S, Fencing Marshal, Historian and Webminister. Officers please check your gmail accounts.
I have asked our Chronicler, Zahra, to re-print the candidate statements for Herald and Seneschal (that were posted on Facebook) in the SEAHORSE, which has just been published.
Below is a list of all the Candidates. People can ask them questions directly, even if they are only being voted on by the officers. If anybody has a concern about any of the candidates, they should contact either the Viceregents or myself.
The positions and candidates are:
- Seneschal: Alexander MacLachlan, Alienor (Piglet) Salton (Populace Vote)
- Herald: Drasma Dragomira, Ragnarr Bliskegg (Populace Vote)
- Fencing Marshal: Alexander MacLachlan (Officer Vote)
- Historian: Mistress Sofya Gianetta di Trieste (Officer Vote)
- Minister of Arts and Sciences: Thorfinn Hrothgeirsson (Officer Vote)

In Service,
Alexander MacLachlan
