In the News!

This year High Desert Region will be using the club website for voting
The ballot for new club officers will be available beginning in November
Please have a look at the questions and answers below

  1. Why do I have to use the website? Why can we not use email or paper ballots as we have in the past? The club decided to step away from paper ballots for officer elections when members voted to amend the bylaws in January 2023  HDRPCA Bylaws Version 4 Adopted January 11, 2023 . Although voting for officer elections using email ballots can be done from anywhere, as with paper ballots they are not anonymous. After logging into the website, voting is simple, completely anonymous and each ballot submitted is automatically validated by the system that it is from an eligible voting member of the club and they have only voted once. Although the list of eligible voting members is available to administrators, the individual ballots submitted or identification of which members voted cannot be accessed.  The election result totals are reported from the system at the end of the voting period.
  2. Do I need to log into the website to vote? Yes, the election ballot can only be accessed under the “Members Only” menu heading, which is only visible after logging in. Only valid (paid-up PCA subscription) primary club members and their PCA-designated secondary co-member can submit a ballot.
  3. I am the Primary member on my PCA account (I pay the PCA subscription). After I log in and submit my ballot, can my co-member then also submit a ballot? No, your co-member must log into the website separately using their own login credentials (their unique username and password) to submit their ballot.
  4. My co-member does not have (or cannot recall) their username or password to log into the website. Can they still vote? Yes, but they must first establish a first-time login and password to access the “Members Only” area of the website. If they do not know their assigned username, contact the Membership Chair (Mark Taylor) at email: membership@highdesertpca.org to obtain it. Then follow the first-time login instructions posted under the “FAQS” menu heading on the website.
  5. My co-member does not have their own email address in the system, but shares the primary member's email and wants to vote. Can they still vote? Yes, the co-member can login and vote using their own unique username and password together with the primary member's email address.  The co-member must have a unique username and create a password to login. To obtain a unique username  and create a password to login, refer to question 4.
  6. Can my spouse or family member also vote? Yes, as long as they are listed as your co-member in your PCA membership profile. If unsure, log into www.PCA.org and view your profile that they are listed as your co-member. To add or change your co-member either email membership@pca.org or phone (410) 381-0911. Provide your membership number, the full name of your co-member, their relation to you, and their separate email address (optional). Your co-member must be 18 years old or older.
  7. How do I know if the system received and counted my ballot? After submitting your ballot, you will receive a confirmation email that your ballot was successfully submitted. If you do not see the confirmation email in your inbox, check your email junk or spam folder.
