Page 2/ANA election Overall 7,171 ballots were returned in the 2007 election, compared with 8,394 in 2005. Of the votes cast, 6,666 were valid and 505 were rejected: 436 because no membership number was written on the ballot; 26 because more than seven governors received votes; 24 due to invalid membership numbers; 10 because the ballot was not returned in the provided envelope; 6 due to duplicate member numbers and 3 because the ballots had been photocopied.
The ANA mailed 31,263 ballots, one to each Association member whose membership was active on May 3. In 2005, 31,113 ballots were mailed. This year’s election also was the first time that the ANA could provide replacement ballots to voters.
Each ballot was counted by the ANA’s independent auditing firm, BiggsKofford. At the conclusion of the election, BiggsKofford reviewed all membership numbers and removed all suspicious and duplicate numbers.
The firm also performed a random review of ballots and checked the membership numbers against the list provided.
All Board candidates were informed of the election results during a conference telephone call at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Mountain Standard Time.
