Thom Clement, OLLI at George Mason University, asks OLLI:
OLLI at George Mason University’s Board of Directors holds elections for officers annually. We have always used paper ballots, but we’re considering a move to some type of online voting to save labor and paper. Our concern is with security and the proverbial “secret ballot”. Are there any OLLIs who have successfully used online voting?
