California has edited a new summary of the reasons to vote for the amendment

• California Questions and Answers (supplement to national Talking Points)

The following questions have come up since the campaign started. Here are the answers we’ve received from AAUW:

1. What’s the “official” date when memberships will be checked to get the list of voters? 
   The list will be pulled on Friday, March 15. Memberships must be current as of that date.
2. Is there a different date when the emails will be pulled to send to SimplyVoting? 
   No, same date.
3. What happens if someone changes their email in the Community Hub after the list is sent to Simply Voting? 
   The ballot will be sent to the previous address.
4. When will the nominations for board members to be elected be posted?
   First day of voting (April 3). 
5. Is there anything else that will be on the ballot besides the open membership amendment change to the bylaws and the Director elections?
   No, just directors and open membership
6. There was also a comment that some members still resist the idea of online voting and prefer a paper ballot. Short of stopping all email from AAUW (see #3), those on the call didn’t think there’d be any option for getting one. Let us know if that has changed. 
   No, we only send paper ballots to those without valid email addresses.
7. Won’t students have to pay full dues if this passes?
   No. The board may set special dues levels for students and has expressed an intent to do that.
   See the third bullet in the “Amendment Summary” section on the aauw.org page about the Amendment noted below where it says “to permit the board to set different dues for student members as previously allowed”
8. What will the email message that has information on voting look like?
   The email with a voting link, an Elector ID, and a password will come
   From: AAUW <vote@simplyvoting.com>
9. Will we be able to use Internet connected computers as “voting booths” at branch/state meetings to help people vote?
   Yes, as long as the member brings the information with their voting password to the meeting. A voting booth set to go to aauw.simplyvoting.com will accept the Elector ID (the AAUW Member ID) and password to give access to the ballot.
10. What will the envelope containing the ballot look like (when the paper ballots are mailed to members who have no email address on file or who have blocked mail from AAUW)?
    The ballots should arrive in early April in envelopes that look like this:
