ASLH Elections Underway Now

ASLH Elections are underway now through September 22. If you are a member of the society, you should receive today or tomorrow (August 21 or 22) a ballot for the election from VoteNow, the organization that conducts our elections. If you have not received it, please check your spam folder first. If your ballot is not present, you may not have been a member as of the July 10 membership list that was furnished to us by Cambridge University Press–meaning, your membership has lapsed. Fear not! Contact CUP and renew your membership, then send Sally Hadden (sally.hadden@wmich.edu) a copy of your membership renewal email from CUP. She can add you to the election and get you a ballot all the way until September 21. Remember, voting closes on September 22 at midnight.
