The following is the information provided by IEEE ComSoc regarding the elections:
We are sending this email message on behalf of the IEEE Communications Society because you are a current Society Member eligible to vote in the upcoming election.
Voting Members this year will receive your IEEE Communications Society ballot material electronically for voting in the IEEE ComSoc Election on 31 May 2012 from ieee-comsocvote@ieee.org.
You will need your IEEE Account username/password to access the ballot and cast your vote. This is the same account information used to access IEEE online services such as renewing your membership, myIEEE, and Xplore. We recommend you test your account access at www.ieee.org/myieee to avoid any potential problems with accessing your ballot. If you do not recall your IEEE account information, you may go to: http://www.ieee.org/go/forgotUsernamePassword to recover. You may also email contactcenter@ieee.org or call +1 800 678 4333 (USA/Canada) of +1 732 981 0060 (Worldwide).
If you receive this message and would like to cast your ballot electronically, you need do nothing more. On 31 May 2012, you will receive another email (sent to this same email address) with election instructions and a link for voting online. The voting period is expected to be 31 May - 26 July 2012.
If you prefer to have the paper ballot material mailed to you, please e-mail your name, address, member number and reference the ComSoc election ballot to ieee-comsocvote@ieee.org or call +1 732 562 3904. When the election ballots are sent out, your ballot will be physically mailed to you rather than sent electronically.
If you have any questions please contact ieee-comsocvote@ieee.org or +1 732 562 3904.
Thank you.
IEEE Communications Society
