In the last issue of the Factsheet, we had an article by Kevin Standlee, Site Selection Administrator for Intersection, with questions and answers about site selection voting. Through no fault of Kevin's, some of the information in his article was rendered obsolete by later decisions of the Intersection and 1998 bid committees. Where there are differences between Kevin's article and the instructions printed on the Site Selection Ballot (which we've included once again just in case you've misplaced it), follow the instructions on the ballot.
There's also an error on the ballot, which we are prohibited from correcting. The dates for our Worldcon will be 5-9 August, 1998 not 6-10 August as stated on the ballot.
You can pay both your voting fee and your Intersection membership fees by credit card, but you will be billed separately. Any ballots with credit card payments must be sent to the U.S. address and will be billed in U.S. dollars.
Although Intersection prefers that a separate payment be enclosed for each ballot cast, members of the same household may pay with a single combined check for all the voting fees (and another single check for all the Intersection memberships, if necessary).
Remember, if you are casting an "absentee" ballot (i.e., someone else is hand carrying your ballot to Intersection for you), be sure to read and follow all the instructions on the ballot for "hand carried" ballots. And if you are planning to vote by mail, your ballot must be received by 1 August, 1995.
