Just being the Devils Advocate here!
Not sure how e-voting is any different to the current proxy system with regard to whether people will attend or not? It would just improve the chances of people getting a chance to vote, and subsequently make for fairer elections imo.
Ok,
There is a motion. That motions is amended at the AGM, that would mean all the online votes become nul and void!
It is not as simple as online forms and email voting unfortunately. I did raise a thread on this some while back and even then we as a collective could not find a satisfactory solution.
One thing we all agree on is the status quo is not good and has to change but the change has to be for the better not the worse so we have to be very careful about what we change it to.
We could take the ECF model where normal members don't get a vote... I think not!!!
