As a member of DTA, you will be asked to vote on a number of different issues. Each year you will have the opportunity to vote for the members of the executive board. Other voting opportunities may include the ratification of new DTA by-laws or a proposed measure or action.
All votes are cast electronically, using a secure and personalized online system. You will receive a unique log in and password to vote via email.
Other voting guidelines according to DTA by-laws state:
1. Every member shall be assured of voting by secret ballot.
2. There shall be at least a fifteen (15) day period between notice of election and the actual voting.
