Dear COBA Members;

As outlined in my email yesterday, COBA will be testing our new Electronic Voting Application over the next 3 days.

The Test Application will begin at 0800 hours tomorrow, Wednesday Sept 13th and will run continuously until completion on Friday Sept 15th at 1700 hours.

A secure link will be sent to each COBA Member with a code assigned to each member individually. You would then click on that link either in your email or on your cell phone at which time a ballot will appear and you can simply cast your vote immediately right there wherever you are.

Again, the purpose of this new way of voting is to negate the need for Absentee Ballots and allows our Members to vote even if you are away or on a day off. You don't need to report to the jail to participate.

Again, the actual Test Ballot will be going out Wednesday morning.

See below a Sample Ballot of what the Test Ballot and future Ballots would look like. The links on the sample below do not work.

When you receive the test ballot on Wednesday, simply click YES that you received it so that we may confirm your participation in this process. If you attempt to vote after 5pm on Friday, your vote will not register.

Sincerely,

Brian Sullivan, COBA President
