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.
