INFORMATION CONCERNING E-MAIL BALLOT PROCESS:

>From the Libertarian Party Bylaws:

Article 8, Section 10:
  
The National Committee may, without meeting together, transact business by
electronic mail. The Secretary shall send out electronic mail ballots on any
question submitted by the Chair or cosponsored by at least 1/5 of the
members of the Committee. The period for voting on a question shall remain
open for ten days, unless all members have cast votes, or have stated an
intention to abstain, by electronic mail to the Secretary. Votes from
alternate regional representatives will be counted, in accordance with the
ranking procedure of the region, only if the regional representative fails
to respond to the ballot.
  
The number of votes required for passage of any motion shall be the same as
that required during a meeting. The Secretary shall preserve all such votes
until the next meeting of the National Committee, at which meeting the
Committee shall order the disposition of such votes.


>From the LNC Policy Manual:
  
Section 1.04 ELECTRONIC MAIL BALLOT PROCEDURES

1) Electronic Mail Ballots (endnote 31)

Electronic mail ballots shall not include an accompanying argument for or
against passage of the motion. Notification of an electronic mail ballot
shall be made by the Secretary by electronic mail. An LNC Member may change
his or her vote on an electronic mail ballot, provided that the change is
received by the Secretary by the deadline for return of ballots.
