62nd World Science Fiction Convention 2004 Site Selection Ballot
Site Selection Rules
Everyone who votes will become a supporting member of the selected 62nd Worldcon
Rules:
- To be eligible to vote, you must be a living, natural person
and either an attending or supporting member of The
Millennium Philcon. Ballots cast for memberships held
by non-natural persons, such as "Guest of" memberships,
clubs, toys, et cetera, may only be voted as No Preference.
- If you are not a member of The Millennium Philcon and
wish to vote by mail, you may become a supporting or
attending member by filling out the form on the reverse
side of this ballot and sending a separate check for the
appropriate fee made out to "The Millennium Philcon".
You may, if you prefer, charge your Millennium Philcon
membership to one of the major credit cards listed
overleaf. Do not mail cash.
- Your ballot must be accompanied by the Site Selection
Voting fee of US $35. Checks should be made out to
"62nd Worldcon". You may, if you wish, charge your Site
Selection fee to one of the major credit cards listed
overleaf. Do not mail cash.
- Ballots may be cast either by mail or in person at The
Millennium Philcon. Ballots should be mailed to the Site
Selection Administrator at the address listed opposite.
The deadline for receipt of mail-in ballots is August 15,
2001. Voting at the convention will end at 6 PM EDT on
Saturday, September 1, 2001.
- Voting: Site Selection ballots are tallied by preferential
balloting procedures. The winner is the first bid to
receive a majority of those ballots expressing a
preference. This means that you should indicate your
favorite selection with a "1", your next favorite with a "2",
and so on. If you mark an "X" with no other marks, that
will count as a "1" for that bid and no other preferences.
- After filling out both sides of the ballot, fold the ballot
along the line below and then tape the fold shut, in order
to conceal your vote from casual viewing prior to the
count.
- All ballots must have the voter's name and address. All
ballots must be signed. In addition to being used to
validate the ballot, the voter's name and address will be
passed on to the winning bid, so that they know who their
members are.
For the full details of the rules, see
Article IV of the WSFS
Constitution. If you have any questions regarding this ballot
or the application of Article IV to the selection of the 62nd
Worldcon, please contact the Site Selection Administrator,
