Polls will open at 9 a.m. CDT on March 19, 2013. Between March 19 and March 21, the ALA will notify voters by email, providing them with their unique passcodes and information about how to vote online. The polls close on Friday, April 26 at 11:59 p.m. CDT. Although we do plan to implement ballot access via the ALA website, this feature will not be available for the 2013 elections.
On May 3, the Election Committee will meet at the ALA offices to certify the election. Election results will be released following that meeting.
