Who's Waiting to vote?
Serious question.
I was ready to vote last year on the first day, got tied up at work, and never got around to it.
Turns out some of the best antics of the election season took place during the 2 weeks voting was allowed.
The antics changed my mind about 1 or 2 candidates. A few have already started here in community
While I'm pretty much set, I'm going to wait again this year. You never know what can happen during the course of an election - especially on FT

Yes, I too am waiting awhile, I admit. Too many darn good candidates.
Admittedly, I'm leaning toward voting for myself, yet can't be absolutely certain yet!
Whoever you vote for, PLEASE do VOTE, in any case! Don't forget now.

I'm waiting for awhile. I've had my candidates selected for about a week now, but I'd like to hear that some of the bugs that have been reported early on have been worked out first.

With my own wedding Saturday, a major hurricane bearing down on the chapel, and a month-long honeymoon scheduled to begin the morning after the ceremony (assuming the airport is open), I was quite happy to check the "Voted at FT" item off the to-do list. At least now I am reasonably certain I'll receive at least one vote since after due consideration I decided I was worthy of my own vote.

I voted. I was not thrilled by the fact that I could only vote for four of my five choices, but if those are the rules I can live with them.

Dov - go to technical issues - Tim said he would reset anyone who voted before they made the fix to allow voting for 5 candidates.

Yes, thanks to Tim at WebFlyer, he quickly deleted my ballot so I could re-cast it this morning. ^
I voted early so I can blissfully ignore any of the hijinks that may occur between now and the end of the voting period. What's done is done. I wish all the candidates the best of luck.

Seriously, though, what's the hurry? So long as you don't forget to vote!

Same here. And I even convinced Mrs. Cholula to log on and cast her vote, That'll probably be the last time she looks at FlyerTalk until the next TalkBoard Election.
Funny thing though. After reading the platforms a couple weeks ago, I had pretty much decided who I was going to vote for. But after participating in the TalkBoard debate and discussion, I changed my mind on 3 of my previous selections.
And as Mary2e stated, if I waited another week or so, I might change my mind yet again. So I bit the bullet and cast my votes.

Okay, who has the 'I Voted' stickers? Sometimes the only reason that I vote for anything these days is so that I can wear the sticker!
