I don't have a printed ballot nearby, so perhaps someone can answer a question for me.

I joined at the beginning of the year, and a month or so later ammended my membership to add my wife (so she could also join our local turning club), and paid the additional (modest) fee.

Does the printed ballot allow for two votes? If my wife and I want to vote for separate people, how does this work.

Or does a family membership receive only one vote?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Owen... just what I was looking for.

So if she wants a vote, it appears that the most inexpensive route would be getting an individual Online membership for her so as not to duplicate the mailed journal.

Now that we can order off of the "Senior" menu at some restaurants, I don't think she'd qualify for a "Youth" membership <vbg>
 
It's not clear to me how online members vote, considering that they don't get a printed Journal with a ballot. Anyone know how this is done? Thanks.
