Anyone, regardless of voter status, is eligible to submit a Statement of 
Support for a candidate. Voting Contacts should be aware that an ARIN 
representative will be personally calling them during the week of 9 
October as a gentle reminder to vote and to answer any election-related 
questions they may have.

Participation in the election process is crucial, requires only minutes 
of a voter's time, and is an important responsibility. It's the one 
member-only benefit that gives organizations the power to shape the 
future of ARIN, our community, and the Internet with one simple ballot. 
Every eligible member organization may cast one ballot so your single 
vote does matter!

For questions about voting, or if you encounter an issue with the 
election system, you may either contact a member of the Member Services 
team at members at arin.net or ask a question via ARIN Online and direct it 
to Meetings/Elections.
