10 PCA National News 31 GCR Election Notes

It’s that time again! The 2020 GCR Election will be here soon!

All members and co-members in good standing (paid PCA membership) as of October 1, 2020 are eligible to vote in the upcoming election. Only those members and co-members who are valid PCA/GCR members on that date will be allowed to vote. Voting is done electronically so to be able to participate in this election you and your co-member, if applicable, will need to have valid email addresses on file with PCA. The email addresses are sent to our election vendor to send the ballots out to our members.

If you have been receiving emails regularly from Gold Coast Region then your email addresses are valid. If you haven’t received any emails in a long time then you need to update your email addresses. We ask that you, as Gold Coast Region members, log onto pca.org and make sure our account has current email addresses for both the primary member and the co-member.

If, for some reason, a co-member does not have a valid email address, the primary member will receive two separate emails with individual codes/ballots, one for themselves and one for their co-member, so that each can vote.

You can also request a paper ballot. To do so you must contact the GCR secretary and one will be sent to you. Paper ballots must be mailed to the secretary and must be postmarked no later than November 15, 2020 to be counted.

If you have questions about the election process you can go to goldcoastregion.org and review our by-laws which can be found as a tab under the “About Us” section in the header at the top of the page.

If you are having a problem with your email addresses on your PCA account you can contact Paul Raben in Membership for help.

Thank you and we look forward to everyone voting in the upcoming election!
