Hi Yolanda, all, Because this our first time using OpaVote there were bound to be glitches. The OpaVote software unfortunately did not have a way to extend the vote, and since extending the vote would not have changed the results we decided this round not to extend or redo the vote. However, as I said in a previous email, if people intended to vote and want the count of their votes to be part of the numerical record, we can set up a new vote round just for those who missed Sunday night because the vote closed three hours early. This would not change the results of the election, so the only reason to do it is to show higher and different vote totals for the same result. Anyone who wants to go through this process please contact the Vote Admins.

I don't really know the particulars, the specifics, but I wonder why anyone would have to become part of another county/city's Green Party in order to vote. I know that each county/city/town has its own particular conditions, circumstances, etc. I wonder if it's ok to address that concern since it is about this specific voting process. Yolanda Catzalco. Just commenting; maybe voting could be extended because of so many people having difficulty voting; by a day or two. I know it's difficult to vote if you're not too computer literate/savvy. ________________________________ From: gpca-votes <gpca-votes-bounces@sfgreens.org<mailto:gpca-votes-bounces@sfgreens.org>> on behalf of C.

There is no button on this email to click to vote. I can't figure out how to get into the new system, and I don't understand why we are being asked to join the San Joaquin County party as part of the process.

You should have received an email from OpaVote on Monday, November 13 at about 5:00pm and another reminder (if you had not voted by then) on Thursday, November 16 at about 8:00pm. The upper part of the first email is copied below. There is a VOTE button in the email that you need to click in order to cast your vote. You may need to check your spam folder. Note that this temporary replacement SGA voting system needed to be developed because the new SGA vote administrators were not provided access to the existing cagreens.org<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcagreens.org&data=02%7C01%7Ccabouldin%40msn.com%7Cd0b909a7bdb04dbe6c5708d52e1b67bc%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636465617596441933&sdata=e26Cla4hcATGDXlZEqWRu5fov6hNq0NTyk9WMTUX%2B8M%3D&reserved=0> voting system by prior vote administrators.
