As noted previously, the electronic voting process was used the first time by CAPE in this year’s voting process, and was a resounding success. “The process was almost flawless, and the members have been extraordinarily supportive of this electronic initiative,” said CAPE President Claude Poirier, “The increased results have strongly justified the growing pains, and I would like to thank all of the members who have contributed to this year’s voting successes.”
