62nd World Science Fiction Convention – 2004 Site Selection Ballot

Everyone who votes will become a supporting member of the selected 62nd Worldcon

Rules:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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, Jordan Brown, at the address below.
